Under Secretary Emil Michael (@USWREMichael) explains the @DeptofWar's shift from focusing on exquisite systems to mass attritable systems:
"We've thought about what we need for the modern battlefield. And you need right now both, but I think eventually you're going to see what I call a mixshift. You're going to see the shift of dollars from what we call exquisite systems that were developed during the Cold War to more modern mass attritable autonomous systems driven by AI."
The “ex-Pentagon spox” in question is John Ullyot.
John, who was exiled from the MAGA movement by Donald Trump Jr., is acting like a crazy ex, and quite frankly it’s embarrassing!
He was terrible at his job and now lashes out at the Secretary any chance he gets. He should accept this administration wasn’t that into him and move on with his sad life.

As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, over 4,000 National Guardsmen from 15 states are supporting the festivities in Washington, D.C. These Guardsmen are providing event security, medical support, patrolling throughout the city, and handing out free water to visitors.
Thank you to our great National Guard!
The Pentagon just unified command over nearly every drone program under one roof. Our adversaries have been operating this way for years while we argued over turf.
We are finally getting serious about catching up, and with $54 billion behind autonomous warfare in the FY27 budget, the resources are there to do it.

NEW OP-ED from @SecWar@PeteHegseth
“For decades the Pentagon has quietly underwritten the foundation of American prosperity — from the dominance of the US dollar to the stability of borrowing costs to the protection of global trade.”
