This is eventually going to get US service members killed — mark my words.

Yesterday, it was only a “dead” drone.

But apparently the “Dept. of War” fired on one of its own: a US Border Patrol drone near Fort Hancock, Texas — with a laser: “Pew-pew-pew!” End, drone patrol mission. [And. . . we know Tangerine 2.0 is thinking of actions into Iran?! How many own goals to come there? Damn.] Here’s that from the NYT, tonight:

…The closure of airspace near the U.S.-Mexico border for the second time over the use of lasers to shoot down drones is the latest evidence that some powerful government agencies seem to be at war. With each other.

On Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration closed air travel over the small town of Fort Hancock, Texas, after soldiers fired a high-energy laser on a drone they deemed threatening. The drone was later determined to have been flown by Customs and Border Protection, a division of the Department of Homeland Security.

A preliminary internal report on the incident said Customs and Border Protection had not notified the Defense Department it was launching a drone in that area. So to the military, it was an unknown drone, a Pentagon official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an investigation into the matter….

This is what happens when deeply incompetent people lead organizations — everything starts to fall… apart. Out.
