Excellent. So following your own logic Anduril - and similar - are a necessity to provide hardware for said deterrence. Glad we sorted that out.

Edit: oh I see, you only support strategic deterrence which equates to “standby until we have to nuke them.”

So you want a bombed out shell of a country to repurpose a destroyed industrial base and ramp up manufacturing for a technology it has no history of producing. Very logical.

Ironic that everyone talking shit about "building killing machines" probably also has Ukraine flags next to their PFPs. How you think Ukraine fighting their war right now fam - with sticks and bottle rockets?

I don’t care about Gaza. I care that a theater full of kids going to a concert don’t deserve to be shot up because their politicians made some decisions.

Cool so you’re ok with a theater full of kids being shot up because of failed geopolitical policy?

Really? Reference 9/11, Bataclan, Ariana Grande concert, various car ramming episodes, and - at minimum - they have destroyed our spirit as a stable society.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. An Osprey doesn’t have a “forward firing weapon” because Direct Action Penetrators followed by -47s from the 160th are better suited to such a scenario.

On the topic of USAF security forces training to fight Spetsnaz…lol.

1/75 would not have fallen under 24th ID as even then the 75th was under SOCOM. That is the first of a dozen fallacies in this article.

This person was probably in the 24th ID at one point in their adult life. Their credibility stops about there.

Articles like these, deliberately it seems, fail to recognize that in the infinite conceptspace that is reality, there are attractor zones where threads converge - archetypal stories that have been told and retold over time for a reason. Try telling a story that doesn't strike an archetypal chord and see what happens - it lands in the void.

"A mechanical engineer created a new kind of baseball bat and made the baseball bat companies more money."

See? No one gives a shit.

"A mechanical engineer created a new kind of baseball bat, it changed baseball forever into a minmax-optimize-at-all-costs bore show that killed a cultural icon of a sport and while the engineer got rich in the process, he couldn't have predicted the cultural effect his invention would have or how we would lose himself in the process."

Ok, now we're onto something.

Stories are anchored to conceptspace attractors and condescending them as simply "Western constructs" belies how humans actually come to care about things.
