For the first time, the nation's defense hierarchy is no longer dominated by men.
From the executive leadership of top weapons-makers, to the senior government officials designing and purchasing the nation’s military arsenal, the United States’ national defense hierarchy is, for the first time, largely run by women.
As of Jan. 1, the CEOs of four of the nation's five biggest defense contractors — Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and the defense arm of Boeing — are now women. And across the negotiating table, the Pentagon's top weapons buyer and the chief overseer of the nation's nuclear stockpile now join other women in some of the most influential national security posts, such as the nation's top arms control negotiator and the secretary of the Air Force.

Yet we are constantly told about “toxic masculinity.”
Women are increasingly dominating the upper ranks of the armed forces. Yet we are told that we live in a “rape culture.”
Also, women increasingly dominate civilian companies, while they cast men down to the lower levels. And women make up 65% of college students. Yet we are constantly told about “male privilege.”
Women at upper levels are paid more than their male inferiors. Yet we are constantly told about the “pay gap.”
--"My mum used to say to me that if women run the world there wouldn't be any wars."--
And yet the Empire, increasingly run by females, is as aggressive and militaristic as ever. Hillary Clinton wanted to nuke Russia and Iran, and oversaw the destruction of Libya. (“We came, we saw, he died.”) Madeleine price-was-worth-it Albright oversaw the extermination of half a million Iraqi children. Today’s female-dominated weapons makers are overseeing the extermination of Yemeni children.
All this has happened because men have been castrated, and are cowards. White males have no unity or solidarity.
When a female, or a homosexual, or a Jew, or a person of color attacks a heterosexual white male, other white males eagerly join the attack.
The title of the article is “How women took over the military-industrial complex.”
The article claims that women did it by sheer “merit.”
This “merit” consists of deliberately producing garbage so that military contractors collect federal dollars forever, via endless cost overruns. Garbage sustains an endless need for refits, re-designs, and re-testing.
F-35 and F-22 fighters still don’t work. When the USA wants to bomb people, it still uses B-52s, which entered service in 1955.
The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) was supposed to cost $2 billion, but (because of female “merit”) the cost went up to $5 billion, then $8 billion, then $11 billion. The U.S. Congress sought to end this female “merit” by putting an absolute cap of $12.9 billion on the carrier. Nonetheless female “merit” has pushed the acquisition cost to $13.347 billion, and it’s still rising. And that’s just one ship.
Because of female “merit,” no one ever asks, “How will you pay for it?”
Just think of the bonuses, Konrad? The American public scammed again, yet they're indifferent, but they could one day pay with their lives.
