The moron has no business hanging around the Brookings Institute. That’s a left wing outfit.
The defense industry would love to field a fleet of unmanned (extremely expensive) aircraft.
In reality the Marines only need things like some Harriers, Warthogs, and some fighters. Mostly the USMC needs machines that the overall USAF theater commander will have no use for. Otherwise they get stolen away.
And no robot or remote controlled plane will give a grunt the feeling that another Marine is overhead understanding the situation. I don’t care how good your sensors are, you won’t have the situational awareness that a human will have.
Wonder how much Lockheed paid this Obama general?
“In reality the Marines only need things like some Harriers, Warthogs, and some fighters”
Hell, all they need are Corsairs and Hellcats for ground work.?
Good luck flying an unmanned P-3 or P-8.
