It seems to be a current fascination by many here, the latest toy to play with. Toys are fun, but defending the country is never a game. As I said, play with your toys if you must, but there has been enough “play time” in the last six years with our military. Keep the mainstays tried and true, and leave the playtime to that infantile ass in the whitehut.

New “toys” are how we keep an advantage.

We’d still be waging war with muskets if not for forward thinkers and their toys.

Every new weapons development is deemed “a toy.”

This is the root of Germany capitalizing on Charles De Gaulle’s observations on mechanized warfare before the French and the allies, and behind the US disastrously delaying the addoption of Billy Mitchell’s air power docterines.

As the rest of the world dismissed the potential of a flotilla of small missile boats, Israel deployed the first such fleet in the Yom Kipper war.

Your knee jerk attitude is noted.

Adsolutely there are weapons developments which are lemons.
There are also game changers.
