    It’ll take that long to get the first draft of the requirements document for this stupid thing.

      There won’t be a requirements document. They’ll just hand truckloads of money to cronies and big defense contractors (overlapping groups) and say that they’re done.

      Yeah, given Trump’s timelines on building the wall, I think we can safely expect this to never be finished. This will be yet another indefinite Republican drain on American tax dollars.

        It’s one of those things that sounds great, but requires a monumental effort to build and this administration lacks any kind of competence to make it happen.

          Hegseth said we couldn’t even block hypersonic missiles so China could sink our entire fleet in minutes, yet thinks we will not only be able to build a defense system well enough to block them but block them from hitting all of the U.S. and Canada in 3 years, even from space. Who could possibly believe that?
