      Why would the DoD be immune to having crazy people? 90% of the crazy people I’ve met in my life have served at some point. It’s not like the DoD is known for their robust mental health screening and/or treatment facilities.

      Friend, a MAJORITY of the military are mentally unwell. Especially MI branches. I’ve seen clearances taken away from people for being diagnosed psychopaths after they caused issues. I saw a signals staff sergeant pimp out his underage daughter for money to junior enlisted at the barracks. There’s even retards just opening posting racial slurs on their public known Twitter, and sending videos of themselves doing cocaine to their Snapchat stories. Then they get a nice and short work shift on Monday morning before getting their clearances revoked and banished to a lifetime of extra duty.

      It is WILD seeing all the people on Reddit and Lemmy chimp out over some military seniors spouting bullshit without knowing how brain damaged and mentally fucked most of those types of people are.

      Hell, one of them is a retired navy commander. Pretty high rank, I’m sure his retirement is good. I’ve watched a navy commander openly BRAG about doing unbelievably illegal [redacted stuff using Navy Assets] without any authorization because he thought he was cooler than the DoD. The man bragged to the wrong 19 year old alcoholic and is serving some time now. Those are the type of people you can expect to be trusting in this case. Often just complete degenerates.

      Honestly it’s probably just bullshit they made up because if they didn’t find something else to do the gov would have to help regular people.

      I actually think it’s bullshit to try and trick China into thinking the ship based laser missile defence system is able to create sustained plasma interactions at high altitude, they used to do the same to the Soviets all the time - push fake news so they’d waste r&d money. They hope china sees how much effort they’re going to with this farce and assumes it’s to hide the experimental anti missile defences which are the actual source of the tictac videos and radar recordings.

      But I think that’s just me being hopeful, I wouldn’t be surprised if the US gov doesn’t know if they have probably the biggest and most important discovery in centuries being kept secret by shadowy secret agencies so they need to hold hearings with obscure and clearly oddball whistle blowers to try and find out…
