Innovation and Bureaucraccy in the USAF

Tom Ricks has an interesting post and comments on the issue of whether remote-controlled drone aircraft need to be piloted by officers, or by enlisted men. As someone who likes innovation, usually, and retains a prejudice against officers from my draftee days, I lean towards answering "Yes".  Some commenters however offer some real-life experiences showing we're still low in the learning curve in dealing with drones.
