Yeah but he said that under oath and will go to prison if he’s found to be lying. This is a bit different from schoolyard hearsay.
I like how Rubio put it. Either we have crazy people in the DoD or we don’t and something else is going on. Either way it should be investigated.
Why would the DoD be immune to having crazy people? 90% of the crazy people I've met in my life have served at some point. It's not like the DoD is known for their robust mental health screening and/or treatment facilities.
Because we rely on them for our military and infrastructure. And yes the DoD is known to mentally screen people before hiring them.
like the guy recently who was obviously mentally unstable and was still allowed to work with and eventually leak sentitive info on fuckin discord? hows your """screening""" going?
The DoD top secret clearance requires a polygraph and an extensive background check. They really don’t let just anyone join.
Polygraphs are nonsense.
I can’t speak for everyone but when I was younger (and a lot less confident) I got a job at the DoD and couldn’t get it because I couldn’t get through the polygraph. Background check (talked to everyone I have ever engaged with) was fine but I was way too unconfident / insecure to pass the polygraph. They say the polygraph is a lie detector test. It isn’t. It’s a nervousness detector test. And you lie if you're nervous.
For ts clearance it also needs to be renewed every few years. Which means going through the motions again:
Some skids may make it through. But it would be surprising if there is a ufo cult running the DoD in the leadership. Which is why this should be investigated.
Good job they're reliable and not absolute pieces of junk that mean fuck all. Oh, wait.
Honestly it's probably just bullshit they made up because if they didn't find something else to do the gov would have to help regular people.
I actually think it's bullshit to try and trick China into thinking the ship based laser missile defence system is able to create sustained plasma interactions at high altitude, they used to do the same to the Soviets all the time - push fake news so they'd waste r&d money. They hope china sees how much effort they're going to with this farce and assumes it's to hide the experimental anti missile defences which are the actual source of the tictac videos and radar recordings.
But I think that's just me being hopeful, I wouldn't be surprised if the US gov doesn't know if they have probably the biggest and most important discovery in centuries being kept secret by shadowy secret agencies so they need to hold hearings with obscure and clearly oddball whistle blowers to try and find out...
