So...We're Expecting Al-Qaeda to Build Cruise Missiles?

Or is this just a multi-billion dollar boondoggle for Raytheon?

Quote: It's a good year for the military's spy blimp program: After years of delays, a huge blimp-like airship will take to the skies over Maryland sometime in the next week as part of a $2.8 billion project that the military says is designed to spot cruise missiles or other threats heading toward Washington, DC, and other East Coast cities.

Coulda saved them a lot of time and money if we just let the Germans win.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

If so it's because the defense contractors can't stand to see their profit margin shrink.

Tethered blimps. It's just a way to get sensors up over the horizon for a longer view. The blimps aren't really that big either. I'm sure we'll be overcharged for the radar equipped party favors....but if we weren't...it's actually a pretty good idea. Fairly straightforward too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

As long as Al-Qaeda learns their missile physics in an islamic madrassa and uses allah as a guidance system, we're safe.

Technically, don't we all have second amendment rights to own cruise missiles?

All the rights R belong to us Whatevs. I don't know that the second amendment grants rights to specific arms. We could, for example -as a nation..bear arms without bearing cruise missiles. Without bearing pistols, for example (gun control nuts take notice.......you can ban a specific guns or a specific class of guns and remain well within the law - we've done it before. We banned the wrong class of gun last time, we should ban the right class of gun this time...you know, the little ones that fit in your waistband - the ones that are overwhelmingly involved in every alarming statistic. Just food for thought.)
