Because at the end of the day, if you've got the best performer, if I as an infantry officer go against another infantry officer and the best one wins and whatever that competition is, then all other things go away because the focus of the military should always be on lethality and winning.

You look back to the last generation that won a war. It was World War II, and we didn't have the national security establishment then. World War II is when we literally built the national security establishment that we have today. It went through the National Security Act of 44, 47, 50. And then finally, what structured what we have now is the Goldwater-Nichols Act after Vietnam.

Where we really went off the rails was Vietnam. I mean, Korea was still a generation of World War II vets, and the rigid structure of the current DOD was not in place yet. What happened was we created this military industrial complex. We created this system of officers that are self-pleasing.

And in Vietnam, what we did after our loss, instead of going back and holding the general officers accountable, we let the general officers sing the song. that it was the draft and the drugs, and it was the junior service member. And what we really did was we empowered these general officers that failed.

I mean, if you go look at someone like Khe Sanh, where we lost hundreds of thousands of lives, and then it was strategically important one year and then not the next year. I mean, these are huge failures that no general officers were held accountable. The massacre in Vietnam, My Lai Massacre, if you look at that, only company-grade officers were held accountable, no general officers.

So somewhere along the way, starting with Vietnam, we stopped holding general officers accountable. And we need to get back to that. And I think this is such a breath of fresh air when we're talking about President Trump and Pete Hegseth.

Yeah, there's only a few things that the drones would be up there for. And at the middle of the night, it really dwindles it down. So I'll start with it's the government absolutely knows what's going on. We have such a robust capability that, first of all, they know what's going on. Second of all, what they're doing is really the deeper question.

The best guess that I can come up with is it's some type of CBRN, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear detection system, or they're just testing capabilities. But it is disheartening that the government, John Kirby, no one is being transparent about it. I think it's just another head shake in the long list of things that don't make sense.

We the people probably deserve answers, especially with the coverage this is getting. But my position is that it's the government.

Yeah. Like I said, there's only a couple of reasons you would do it. One would be a training op. Two would be you're looking for somebody, which you probably wouldn't do at night. Or three, you're using a different type of detection capability to try and find something like a seaburn capability. So if they're actually employing it, that would be my best guess.
