Are you shittin me?!?!! No, but you'll print that and I'll probably be investigated

Posts mine, but if you see something you think you can use to get me in trouble I did it on my own time and my own device, so good luck
Ed is on the short list of folks just about anyone from the IC will immediately state without reservation should've gotten a polonium injection or fallen out a dacha window
this is getting some traction on the other place, but might as well bring it over here

It's pretty openly acknowledged that their shit at best is hardware someone else built running their buggy kludged together shitty software and at worst just straight up doesn't work

But hey kath hicks said they're the future of defense so

Congress complaining about this requires a gigantic hot dog guy suit

I don't know if SOCOM needs to go away entirely, but MFP-11 sure does and we need a hard honest conversation about whether JSOC should exist and if so what it should look like
SOF are too big and have too many overlap across the services. SOF have developed a 5th branch mentality, funding, and authorities.

Reorganization is required across the services and reduction in overlapping missions is essential. With that is a required reduction in personnel.

It's not the most important thing but we do an absolutely abysmal job of cultivating any *actual* thought towards this in the US officer corps

"How would they be expected to know how to discern an order is unconstitutional if a lawyer said it was okay" is actually a valid point as far as it goes
For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

Well well well, not so easy to find an interagency that doesn't suck shit after all, huh

This is the moderate position btw

I'm currently thinking through what the punishment should be for the trigger pullers

Current position is the officer MQ pilots get the book thrown at them, still pondering the E sensor operator types (who didn't release the weapon but were lasing for it)

you know I'm beginning to think leftists aren't great at this 'politics' thing

(this is talking about this year's reconciliation bill lol)
How’d that bill make it to the floor?

Cloture votes are just make-believe?

The Dems have had many chances to be maximally obstructionist and they have chosen to actively collaborate at every turn.

*soyjak*

WHAOOOH THE MQ-1 ONLY COSTS A MILLION DOLLARS WHILE THE F-35 COSTS ELEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS BUY MQ-1S!!!1111

yeah that's because it was an overgrown r/c plane powered by a fuckin snowmobile engine with the best camera technology from 2005 that would crash for literally no reason at all
the reason people like the word "drone" is it lets you pretend you're getting the power of a ghost bat with the autonomy of the starcraft ai at the price of an fpv

specifically, if I see one more article that doesn’t seem to grasp that Ukrainian FPV drone pilots are almost always on the frontline, in *extreme* danger, and are very regularly killed because their controller signals are easily detectable via electronic warfare methods

Every day it becomes harder for my trans friends to get the care they need explicitly because Dems did jack shit while in office and now Republicans are free to push all the anti-trans laws they want, so don't fucking tell me that "democrats have done a lot actually," because they've done *nothing.*

there is negative infinity chance he's run this by anyone in DA and gotten a response other than SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH
I did not realize there was any interest in this at all.

I agree ICBMs aren’t exactly a great fit for the Air Force, but the arguments they should shift to the Army really aren’t all that compelling. Just doesn’t seem worth the bother.
