#3 The idea that somebody might (if they haven't already) develop a way to jam drones' communication doesn't seem to occur.

#4 Which will run out first: Enemy Targets or Smart Weapons?

With diversity, we should include both!

#5 A no-brainer. The US Army can and will crush any and all opposition with its mandatory training.

#6 From Screaming Eagles to the Gerbil Butts.

#7 It all comes down to the ability to link databases and share data across the services.

Gee, how has that worked in the Microborg world with bugs, viruses, and malware? Couldn't happen here.

#9 Skynet actually lost to the rag tag resistance in the end. You wanna win wars? Don't fuck the military over with diversity and inclusion officers.

#10 I'm sure they have covered the possibility of a blackout. Right?

Sure they did. It's right there on slide 346 of the PowerPoint.

#11 It'll work as long as the enemy plays by your rules. Look how we won in Viet Nam!
Wait! Look at the puppy!

#12 Well first of all the idea of Smart Weapons implies that there are Dumb Weapons, by extension the operators are dumb, and is sexist and racist.

What they need are PROUD Weapons.

To think otherwise makes you an enemy of history. Says here last time you ordered thin crust pizza instead of Brooklyn Style, and you failed to introduce yourself with proper pronouns or ask for the proper pronouns from your shipping notification. You are fined 10 Happy Time Points, restricting your Range from Residence to 15 miles. Please be home Thursday for a Pandemic Test to confirm Covid has not affected your cognitive abilities.

#13 They will get hobbled with someone shooting the generators. Data stops flowing, Army takes a knee. When high tech becomes a weapon, it becomes vulnerable.

#14 Not to mention chips sourced in China...

#15 Propane lamps, maps with plastic covers for grease pencil symbols, commo wire and runners with carbon message books, and heat tabs for the instant coffee, even the smell of the canvas on the 577s. Remember how it worked before we lost the fieldcraft?

#16 577 was a great big target, usually surrounded by extra generators because the one up front was deadlined in need of higher echelon maint most of the time, and the gaggle of 5-ton HQ-In-A-Box radio trucks and their antennas and gennies.

#17 The Army is planning to win the war on Transsexualism and intersectionalism and White Supremacy.

Winning an actual war, one that threatens the existence of this nation? That's not on their agenda.
