Add It To The Bill

U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg has informed Congressional appropriators that the Pentagon will require “about $80 billion” in supplemental funds to cover the cost of the Iran War, with President Trump set to meet with defense contractors on Wednesday to urge them to speed up production of depleted missile stockpiles, which would require substantial funding from Congress, according to the latest reporting by FOX News.
And what’s that old adage about “fighting the last war”?
The American pilot of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran in April, requiring a high-risk rescue mission by special forces, described a shocking sight before ejecting from his aircraft: multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish, four sources familiar with the matter have told CNN.

“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” one of the sources familiar with the pilot’s witness account told CNN. “Real alien sh*t.” Another source said that the pilot described witnessing a “minefield of drones” in the air prior to being downed over Iran. The pilot’s account immediately set off a firestorm of debate that has yet to be resolved within the U.S. Intelligence Community.

    We have been the Hessians- overequipped, complacent and not entirely serious about the gig because we always have had/reserved the right to pick up our toys and go home- ever since Little Big Horn, if not earlier.

      The real lesson of Vietnam. Still not learned.
