It's subtle, but they talk about "improving intelligence with the advisors" toward the end there. That means using drones.

I'm sort of conflicted on that count, because if you can take out Kony's group, that's great.

But drones are incapable of targeting so effectively, and targeted killing is immoral anyway.
