“US General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drone”

Some purchasing agent at the Pentagon is about to place an order for a new version of these.

Some salesman at General Atomics(?) is going to make a nice commission soon. See, there is a Silver lining for everything. The only one stuck with a loss is Lloyds of London is going to pay out on the sunk bulk vessel.

The US should pull back and stop protecting the world’s waterways. We don’t actually need that stuff — although our allies do. Let them patrol it all.

Our insanely expensive aerospace and defense industry is going to bankrupt us as we keep using million dollar weapons to shoot down thousand dollar drones.

20 men armed with $3 Molotov cocktails can take out a $10 million tank.

We’re losing another war.

Thanks Brandon!

At least we didn't lose a pilot.

I thought I'd make a positive comment here just to buck the trend.
