@chrismurphyct.bsky.social you can be against the Iran conflict without going all Jane Fonda on us and joining Iran's side. Our people are fighting over there, like it or not. They deserve your support.

You know, the military has its share of dark, inappropriate humor that I have indulged at times. Probably something to do with lack of sleep, anger issues, and people trying to kill me. But Planter wasn't joking. He was posting and tattooing his real opinions. Same as Mamdani's wife.

Thank you for what you have done for the community. As a MO Jew, I agree we need a better way forward that has more humanity in it while applying halachic standards. It's also a security issue for Israel and a demographic bomb for US Jewry.

Seems the issue is engine production. "Fire Point says it is currently producing one missile per day or around 30 per month. By the end of the year, the company says it can increase production sevenfold, which would result in an annual output of over 2,500 missiles."
