I vaguely recall that we have around 10,000 Abrams tanks. Maybe we could find a sucker who would trade us 10,000 drones for 10,000 big chunks of metal. Or we could bomb Iran with them, moderately disabled. They'd make a helluva dent and be very difficult to clean up.
Caine couldn't have made General without a deep understanding of warfare. He's just doing what the child/commander-in-chief demands. Not doing that results in having to look for a civilian job...
Over on the dark web there are plenty of plans for building inexpensive drones with off-the-shelf parts. Perhaps the DoD will wake up and stop buying from overpriced defense contractors. With our vaunted manufacturing capabilities (just ask Trump), we should be able to turn out drones by the thousands. Some of them might work...
There’s nothing wrong with a civilian job, though, right? And it would more for a multi-starred general. He’s a venture capitalist, ffs. He does this because he likes war, IMO. He could spend all his time working for his venture capital money and make millions.
Agreed on the drone front. You’d think they’d give startups a shot. Maybe they do. I haven’t researched that. That’s how Ukraine developed a good drone industry.
Charles, don't you think Bondi, Hegseth, Noem, Bovino, et al will surely be getting pardons, if they haven't already? "Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" kind of deal, except what's being traded is democracy, the rule of law and the possible very survival of our nation (as well as that of others as well) for a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Hopefully he'll die first. And Vance is a coward, so when the super majority Dems in the 120th Congress warm him sternly not to, he won't.
