I guess we have all seen all those wonderful toys coming from China. Technologies unimaginable a few years ago, like quadricopters and microminiature concealed cameras. It looks like the US Military is taking notice.

Other countries (such as China) build our stuff, understand how it works, and have found out how to make it very inexpensively. A remote-controlled drone was once the exclusive domain of law enforcement... now just about anyone who wants one can buy one.

Yup, it looks like the-powers-that-be are realizing their cats are getting out of the bag...

    Nazi Germany also had a well-developed highway system... just like the US! Well, except Pennsylvania.

    Pennsylvania, is that a state you want to avoid as far as possible? filled with people of which most aren't rewarding to be around?
