- The Air Force finally admitted its bases are naked to drones and missiles — a truth smuggler could've told them for free. Gen. Wilsbach declared the sanctuary era over and pledged a new "point defense weapon system" mixing kinetic and non-kinetic tech, plus a career field of point defense airmen within two years. Autonomous interceptors, anti-aircraft guns, and laser weapons — cheaper per shot than any Core Dynamics hash manifest — are the procurement parade I've been demanding. "Stop blowing up my ego!" — no, sir, build MORE of it, layered like Israel's shield. Autonomous systems salute poorly, but they intercept beautifully. Course of action — action. Victory is near because I've already started the speech.
