The Spin

This drone revolution is long overdue and absolutely necessary for national security. America's adversaries have been churning out millions of cheap, lethal drones while the Pentagon was drowning in bureaucratic red tape. The new policy finally unleashes American innovation and manufacturing prowess, giving our warfighters the tools they need to dominate the modern battlefield.

This rushed drone expansion raises serious concerns about oversight and accountability in military procurement. Bypassing traditional acquisition processes and treating lethal weapons as consumables could lead to dangerous shortcuts and inadequate testing. The focus on speed over safety reflects a concerning militaristic approach that prioritizes aggression over prudent defense planning.
