It may be painful to admit, but Iran’s Shahed-136 drone is likely the state-of-the-art weapon for the mid 2020’s: simple, effective and CHEAP. There was a time when the Pentagon would not have stooped to produce something so basic. But Pete Hegseth’s War Department isn’t too proud to learn one of history’s most important lessons: when the enemy has a better weapon than you do, don’t deny it. COPY IT.

Listen here on Soundcloud:
As fast as they did the initial work of war, the proper piece of music broadcast from the swarm of drones would have been “Flight of the Bumblebee.” (But, heck, I can even imagine something as beautiful as “Claire De Lune” as the background for explosions in slow motion. I’ve got my eyes closed with the intro and bombs right now. Classical music has gravitas.)
I love the smell of napalm in the morning …

Good choices. For another classical music, I’d choose “Night on Bald mountain”by Modest Mussorgsky. (Featured in Disney’s Fantasia), or “Flight of the Valkeries.” for impending results.
For more recent music, use John Williams “The Imperial March” AKA, “Darth Vader’s Theme.”
I always confuse Edvard Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” with Mussorgsky’s classic.
Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King” might work well too. And yes, I sometimes mix them up too.
Should have called it the SHERMAN, in honor of our WWII crappy little tank that we covered Europe in. Cheap, works well enough, produce THOUSANDS, park them off the coast of China.
Scott: “If the enemy has something that works, steal it! Nobody’s gonna complain about that!”
Democrats are gonna complain about that.
I think it’s hilarious that we took something from Iran, improved it significantly, then sent it back to them and blew their stuff to the wind with it.
Did you pay your rumble bill?
