"A board loaded with defense contractors and one draft-dodging war hawk will decide the future of the US military," said one observer. "What could possibly go wrong?"

It's OK though: they're overseen by a drunken TV host, and he's overseen by a senile pedophile rapist, and in any case all the big policy decisions are made by the zombie-eyed, hairless, friendless Nazi lurking in the shadows.

Last I recall Elmo thinks that stealth aircraft are pointless because they can be defeated by "cameras and AI" or some such. He literally thinks he's the smartest engineer in the world when he's not even an engineer.

This amount of corrupt rot and dunning-kruger has the promise of being a fatal bowie knife to the kidney of American military power, so I can't say I'm too unhappy.

A bag of potatoes would conduct more electricity than that groups brains.

A basket of deplorables. In charge of our nation's deployables.

They need to be luigied before they start WWIII

Palmer Luckey is Matt Gaetz's brother-in-law.

It makes sense when you realize the future of warfare will be on the US population.

What the fuck do you mean by the future of warfare? That's the most mask-off way of saying The Forever War is the endgoal itself. Why the fuck are we allowing these assholes to make so much money on murder?

So that failed community college lecturer Gingrich is part of this brain trust? Republicans revere him as an intellectual because he's read a book or two, and even had a few ghostwritten.

That's quite the motley crew of misfits he's assembled there.

the creation of an Autonomous Warfare Command—or Autowarcom—"a new four-star combatant command with service-like authorities built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the joint force."

This is how skynet gets built.

Except it's dumb, has no self awareness, and it constantly hallucinates. And it's designed to target minorities.

I'm from the future... in 2027 you will got to war lead by a Palmer, an Elon and a Newt.

Okay, now can people stop covering the War Crime Gameboy? Like, can we all just agree to fully shun it? He's gonna bomb the children that Elon doesn't want to diddle, it's even less funny now.

The cruelty is the point

I never thought we'd get to this point so soon.

Fat asses whose cholesterol is near the tipping point are trying to lead the military. GTFO
