   Excerpt:

   “THE FUTURE IS DRONE WARFARE
   by Matt Bracken | Sep 15, 2019
   The small size of attack drones and their global availability makes them especially attractive to non-state actors, or to nations (Iran in the Saudi case) who wish to arm proxies with effective weapons while maintaining deniability. In the current Saudi (or a potential United States civil war scenario), with Balkanized ethnic or religious groups mixed across the battle space, it will always be possible for an enemy guerrilla team to get within drone-launching range of their targets.

2. Re: More from Bracken on Drones as the Future Weapon of Choice:

   “Kaboom! Russian Drone With Thermite Grenade Blows Up a Billion Dollars of Ukrainian Ammo
   A single grenade-carrying drone set off one of the largest explosions in recent memory. (From 2017, relates to recent drone attacks against Saudi oil targets)
   A key factor regarding drones is that they have the capability to precisely place exactly the right ordnance for maximum damage. In this case, a thermite grenade is placed exactly where it will lead to a massive cascade effect. By leveraging its effect via ultra-precise placement, a cheap COTS drone with a small grenade can do as much or more damage as a major power’s long-range cruise missile. In fact, a small drone can be flown, for example, under an ordnance depot warehouse roof to alight exactly upon the most vulnerable spot.

   We will see increasingly drone warfare in the future, so pay attention! In a CW2 scenario, a grenade drone might even have your address.”

   sub-re:
   atrocities by warriors

   One reason Japanese warriors fought to beyond reasonable:
   American propaganda depicted Japanese as brutal savages deserving of the worst… aka TheOpposition aka DifferentFromUs.

   Accordingly, American warriors, believing their propaganda, slaughtered surrendering Japanese warriors. Japanese survivors, realizing Americans would murder them too, kept fighting instead of surrendering to certain death. Of all the Japanese warriors, less than a handful were kept alive to be paraded as ‘proof’ of American generosity.

   Because Japanese warriors knew they would be slaughtered if they surrendered, they continued defending their territory.
   Because Japanese warriors defended their territory, American warriors continued fighting.
   All because of propaganda.

   To achieve such a reprehensible victory, global bankers ordered Roosevelt to toss ever-increasing numbers of TheGreatDepression cannon-fodder into the destruction machine.

   (Who caused TheGreatDepression in the first place? My bet is on global bankers.)

   Global bankers, through their puppets such as Roosevelt and Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini and Churchill, encouraged both the propaganda machines and the slaughters… resulting in the death-toll in today’s header.

   With dozens of pages of supporting documents, the book SUPERMOB by Russo carefully identifies the global shadows pulling all the strings.

   Can you imagine everything you know is wrong?

4. Re: Peleliu. My dad, who was a Marine in that time and locale (Guadalcanal) was clear about the command attitude toward the grunt…expendable.

   Carry on

5. In spite of all the blessings our Creator has endowed upon us, we will continue to fight and kill and ravage this remarkable creation. We think we are so clever in devising weapons of war, we fail to live as Christ taught us. Every single one of us will ultimately answer this question, “what did you do for the least of these my brethren?” I fail to see many of us truly loving our neighbors as we do ourselves. This is going to be an awkward moment, at the Last Judgement. I’m not preaching and casting stones here, I stand as guilty as the next, and I will not likely have any excuses to offer. I remain thankful that God is patient and forgiving.
