Who cares if the missile systems work or not?

The only question is, is the workforce producing these systems diverse enough?

Is there sufficient level of DEI facilitators, communicators or trainers per X employee?

And do they recycle enough of their garbage?

The MIC speaks.

Just judging from the excerpt, it’s not that the weapons don’t work, it’s that they don’t work against a technologically sophisticated enemy like Russia. Wasn’t it the ‘Lightworker’ and ‘God of All Things’ Obama who mocked Romney for expressing the idea that Russia might be an enemy? And, of course, Brandon, the new FDR, mocked Trump for expressing that China might be an enemy.

So we’re good. Our weapons work just fine against third-world adversaries. /s

[pfflier]

The pendulum swings both ways on this. We are learning a lot about Russian and Chinese hardware effectiveness. Tell me who wants to be a crewmember in a T-90 tank.

Most of the learning curve is not in the hardware itself, it is in the countermeasures. The new frontier is in the electronic battlefield.

America’s defense Dept resembles our health-care and education systems

Nominally private, but is really an oligopoly controlled tightly by Federal Government with all its political and ideological burdens, massively bloated bureaucracies, the corruption of political insiders and cronies, resulting in out-of-control costs.

Once again, in war the real winners are arms developers.

WTF are they giving Excalibur shells for.

Insanity.

THERE ARE NO OUTDATED WEAPONS, THERE ARE ONLY OUTDATED TACTICS

[farmguy]

As for weapons sent to ukraine:

Did the big guy’s family get 10%?
Have the military industrial stocks risen ( and paid good dividends)?
Are the government war mongers profiting?

The weapons are working as they are supposed to.

I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?

I have some ideas, if the right people are interested.
