The key point here is “free of bureaucracy” and that is what scares me the most as the US military has become so bureaucratic heavy that I find it almost impossible for us to be able to compete effectively in this area. The Chinese, Russians and Iranians do not have that issue so they are able to adapt and field new technologies a lot faster than we could and in much greater numbers as well.

700,000 ~ 900,000 DOD civilian bureaucrats on 1,200,000 active duty military…. It’s a wonder we’re still here.
