Facts, not opinions, were asserted without a means to identify if they were accurate.

The source matters in evaluating whether what was asserted was true

Even assuming everything you have asserted about the capability is true, that isn't what was asserted. What was asserted was that it has deployed in the generals meeting. And there is no identifiable source to help evaluate whether that assertion was true.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
