Les, unfortunate not much has changed today. Some people never learn.

From Clark's point of view, few lessons had been learnt from Vietnam. As a young
captain and veteran of Vietnam, Clark had written a thesis on Lyndon Johnson's
Rolling Thunder, condemning it as a "carefully constrained, politically designed
bombing (campaign), which avoided seeking decisive military impact". But this was
exactly what he found himself running as a four-star general 35 years later. It
proved impossible for Clark to act on his basic intuition from the Vietnam era that
forcing an enemy to submit to a diplomatic objective may require a punishing use
of force.
