"Send In The Drones!"

A new strategic ignition point in war 

Next time you see 10,000 drones launch into the sky and form something more exciting than fireworks, think again. You’re not watching entertainment. You’re watching rehearsal. A proof of concept. A demonstration of what happens when air power stops belonging to nations and starts belonging to anyone with a shopping cart and a grievance.

It turns out (as you are seeing everyday on social media) we have arrived at a new strategic ignition point in war, wither head-to-head in a battlefield, or asymmetrical in a dark neighborhood

A Hero for the 21st Century

 I'm trying to look inside myself to see if I could do what Maya Gebala is seen doing here  in this CCTV image. This is captured from the video of the moment in Tumbler Ridge, BC, the day Maya faced certain death. At first she faced it through the window of the door she is holding shut, and a moment later, a matter of a few seconds on the clock, she is facing the smoking barrel of an assault rifle pointing at her face, and firing, hitting Maya twice.
