War is a racket. Under the Trump administration it is an even bigger racket.

"Repkon said other countries were using the machines to produce the older model. But the Army and General Dynamics could not inspect those active production lines, Repkon told them, citing customer privacy."

Can you believe this? Both the US Army and General Dynamics paying 100s of millions to a subcontractor whose production lines they are not allowed to inspect "citing customer privacy"?

Even your supermarket chain is able to inspect their subcontractors production lines producing their in house brands and the US Army can't?

I guess the "kon" in Repkon says it all, ie their "Rep"utation is a "Kon".

America's military is doomed.

Heard the news about sailors on the Abraham Lincoln rioting with 7 dead because of the shithole conditions on the carrier?
