My uncle was in the Signal Corps during Vietnam. He was stationed in Germany, but it was the Cold War and things were tense all over. He waited until he had scheduled a trip to Switzerland (he had PCA) to talk about the classified things he’d learned there. Long story short: the military knew the war was a loss by the…

The problem with any warplane analogy is if they’re fast & maneuverable they’re purpose built. You can’t soup up a plane the way you do a car (or a spaceship, apparently) because the…
