Quote of the week (an old aviator talking about Drones):
“Drones will not be late to briefings, start fights at happy hour, destroy clubs, attempt to seduce others’ dates, purchase huge watches, insult other services, sing O’Leary’s Balls, dance on tables…or do all of the other things that we know win wars! I see no future in them.”
Attributed to Ace Jewell CDR USN Retired, 88 years old and a fighter pilot in 3 wars.
