"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced some major changes to the U.S. military on Wednesday in what he called his “State of the Force” address, including establishing a new drone command and cutting 20% of the nation’s generals and admirals." So, he's cutting back on experience while adding a new layer of bureaucracy, believing that centralizing procurement and management of drones across the multiple branches will save money, even though the different branches have different drone needs and different scales of needs. And while he claims to be looking towards the future, he axed a recently created drone group that was designed to learn lessons from Ukraine and apply them to US military. People, don't abuse alcohol. If you go on drinking binges, get help. You may think you're still the same bright person you once were at 18, but all that drinking has diminished your brain tissue size. Really. #USPol
