When I worked for the Army, I worked a lot in C-UAS.  I spent a lot of time at Fort Sill, and demonstrated my systems at MFIX, which is mentioned in the article.

We have some interesting times coming up.

A Stinger missile comes in at $38,000. A 'small drone' is a mere fraction of that. Overkill much?

The Stingers are a stop-gap while we catch up.

the Stingers were bought and paid for 25 years ago.  might as well use em or lose em.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

hellfire missiles vs. small groups of terrorists -- overkill yes, but it does take pieces off the table
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Those Afghani stingers are ancient by now. I've heard that they most likely have not aged well.
