Shit just got real!

We need to slightly alter our viewpoints.  Its becoming increasingly obvious that the leadership (across all services) are waking up to the reality of nation state warfare.

It's gone from words to action.  Don't believe me?  Follow the money!

So where does that leave us now?  We're in a whole different space.  We can now debate which approaches are best.  We can disagree with the solutions that they come up with but we should cheer the fact that they're FINALLY beginning to work the problem.

Am I happy?  Wouldn't go that far.  Relieved would be a better description.  Relieved and a slight tingle of being pleased.  We don't have much time and the budget crisis IS a thing.  But they're working the problem!  That's a sea change.

From the USMC flying a F/A-18 Hornet loaded with 10 AMRAAMs and 2 Sidewinders, to the US Army seeking 30mm turrets for the Stryker/AMPV/M-113 type vehicles and back to the USMC pushing forward with the ACV...I'm finding reason to acknowledge the work being done.

You should too.
