    ‘it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks’

    Please explain your reasoning in great detail and at length. Go on. We’ll wait.

        I’m sure whatever the AF are intending to ‘test’ will work just fine on the few CTs that might still be operational six months hence, prior testing or not. We’re talking about a car that can be stopped in its tracks by light snowfall or being left outside in mild rain. I’m no expert, but somehow I don’t think a quick burst of 30 mm PGU-14/B armor-piercing incendiary rounds or a Hellfire missile will experience any issues.

          Of course realistically this serves no purpose other than transferring some money from the DOD to Musk. But we can try to make up some slightly less depressing explanation…

        What if aliens come by and fix everything, including assassinating the fascist with legal command of the military.

        That’s a near supermajority of the veterans, including the dipshits who volunteered for Bush’s Crusade. The troops are younger, dumber, and in the middle of professional standard bootlicker training.

        There’s enough sane vets to form a training core for the Army of the Republic in that civil war but it’ll be nasty.

          Well, your scenario is about as likely as Cybertrucks becoming the standard platform for technicals…

          (My weaksauce scenario is unrealistic but still the best explanation for why the army would need to train shooting at Cybertrucks. Other than, you know, obvious grift.)
