“These agencies will continue to work on increased cooperation and communication to prevent such incidents in the future.”

Now THAT is how you turn a lose into a win on your performance review!

Kinda surprising they didn't tell the military they were flying a drone near a military base actually.

Given the kind of incompetent fuckwits they've been hiring, that's not surprising at all, really.

How much did the drone cost and how much does the fancy laser system cost to operate? In other words, how much taxpayer money was just wasted on this??

Because Taxpayers paid for both it cancels out! Efficiency!

If these dipshits think that they can fuck around with a military base the way they've been fucking around with Minneapolis, then I think they're about to learn a hard lesson. MPs don't take any shit when it comes to station security.

That’s right, Mandrake

The US military budget is inflated as hell, but lasers are neat for this kind of stuff precisely because shooting something down costs only the electricity needed to power the laser, instead of a missile or some fancy airburst shells.
