I firmly believe we should keep them all. When sufficient SPs finally come on line then the M777s should go into ARes service. Gibbs' rule 5 - "you don't waste good." 🍻

There's one thing that I learned in my tracing artillery transformation for the WAFG books which has general application, its that in a world where there is fierce competition for scarce resources - read money and project staff - you have to prove your relevance (or your weapon's relevance) to...

It's an interesting time in both UAS and CUAS systems. This one is still a bit pricey CUAS at $10,000 to shoot down a $400 UAS at ranges of "more than 1,000 metres." 🍻

Keep an eye open for future GOFO retirements/firings . . . The only thing saving 'Dumb McNamara' right now is that it would be hard to sell whatever comes out of this mess as a MAGA victory if the SecDef were fired. 🍻

They don't need to - Vance is already throwing the Pro-Europe faction under the bus. 🍻

If you want to deep dive into this you should start with the Brereton Report available at this site. 🍻

Latest update. 😠
