In light of all of their actions, I really, genuinely do not understand what DOGE team members' mental model of the world is and what they view their purpose as. None of these actions align with any publicly stated goals, or even the privately reported ones. All I see is a destruction of state capacity that has already left America significantly weakened and less capable of responding to threats.

In what way does it make America weaker?

Assuming this was asked in good faith, I'll answer it as such. It weakens us by knocking out experienced and talented DoD employees.

You don’t see why we want to “counter adversarial drones?”

Put it another way. What would we have paid to have an Elon Musk in Beijing or Moscow ten years ago?
