Thanks to late night texting with Jim Bates, I came across this Wikipedia list of pilot defections. Way cool.

More frikkin’ laser beams
Another story on the US military about to deploy laser weapons. These, when combined with unmanned weapons platforms will be game changing. When you take away the potential for heavy casualties, many military actions that were unthinkable, no longer are.

Frikkin’ laser beams
An article on how the Navy and Air Force are working hard toward increasingly powerful lasers. The USN in particular needs a power level breakthrough in lasers. I suspect that one is coming, and fairly soon. The question will be can we keep the Chinese from stealing it once we develop the technology.

I love this story
I am deeply interested in stuff like this. I know there is a lot of stuff that isn’t general knowledge, but I’d love to know what the government and military aren’t telling us.

Yes, next question
Question here. Iran simply doesn’t have the ability to project its military power much beyond its borders except thru the use of terrorist proxies.

By removing one terrorist at a time. Glad these guys are on the case.

Ouch
Now this may be the classiest take down ever. Someone call the burn unit. This only raises my estimation of Gen. Mattis.

Corporate Aggressors
The USAF and USN have contracted out the aggressor role for their air combat training. Seven different companies have been given contracts for the work. They have a wide variety of aircraft. Some great modeling subjects for the future.

Blurred lines
The Army wants artillery that can fire at targets up to 1000 miles away. Story here. I am skeptical that it can be done, but if it can be, it would change warfare in some fundamental ways.
