The DIE Army is cannon fodder for the MIC to continue its forever wars, laundering money and destroying countries in the name of “democracy”.

3 black women killed and 40 plus more soldiers injured wasn’t it? Do the soldiers even know what they’re getting into with this usual massive US jobs programme? There are a lot of problems with relying on the US war machine economy. Very last century. Glad you’re on it.

This is a really helpful reporting. Did anyone explain why, in addition to these experimental and obviously lucrative systems that they are supposedly deploying, no kinetic back-ups were deployed? The military has had machine gun/armor personnel carrier light cannon based systems to shoot down these kinds of threats for decades and they are a mature technology that only requires a good sensor system to detect the drone to work. Is there some reason those cannot be used as an extra layer of defense the way the navy uses their version (called a close in weapon system or CIWS) for drones that get past everything else?

No, they haven't explained it, and refused to when I asked, citing "operational security"

Oh I will be, I have no illusions that a third-party will win, but I need to register my vote against both Old genocidal white dudes. I cannot vote for more of this, and I don’t vote Republican because I’m a woman who believes I am a whole entire human being who should have control over my reproductive system and racism disgusts me.

So, the lie is exposed, as I noted a week ago, after saying that the "or" side of military training being that much of shithole couldn't be real, that the actuality was something was wrong with our defenses.

As I said in that comment, Ken, I think Iran has probably reverse-engineered against some of our defenses. You're going to have to dig to get even an "on background" comment about that from someone in a position to know.
