Easy, an assortment of emp weapons and shields, from hand held versions, ranged mounted type on ships, to depth charges, to drone mounted guided missile types to bombs able to shut down entire electrical grids.

The enemy military is not much of a threat when they are reduced to using sticks and rocks.

Or a "claymore" type load for anti-personel use.



Give them to Infantry guys who are wounded and sitting in the hospital via a sattelite link. Let them take revenge on Haji from the comfort of their room at Walter Reed.

I like the cut of your jib.

And that new Frigate - make it a LCDR command; Make the surviving LCSs LT commands equivalent to XO afloat, and make DDGs a CDR command.  There's no fucking way a destroyer should be an O-6 command.

But first we can go to work on "policies".  SHARP training - gone.  All SHARP materials everywhere destroyed and anyone who conducted SHARP training out on the street by COB.  Same for anyone pushing "special snowflake months."  In fact any training not directly related to maneuvering and putting steel on target would be suspended indefinitely.

Light tank.

New Frigate.... Fuck LCS.

A true S-3 Viking replacement.

More F-22's and fund an equivelant for the Navy.

Burn down the entire procurement process and start over.

Since the trend seems to be a bit of pipe dreaming:

A second block of F-22s, incorporating some of the relevant F-35 tech, bringing the total numbers somewhere around 500 aircraft.

New nukes for the entire triad

Iron dome like system for all military bases in near-threat environments [Kuwait, Guam, Okinawa, S. Korea, etc. etc.], capable of defeating short-mid-long range threats

A long range missile defense system for the entire west coast, and then the east coast, if I'm not concerned with money.

Short range missile/rocket defense system for Abrams, Bradleys, etc.

I'd take the Navy's stealth drone tankers and build many variants doing different things, including maritime patrol, submarine detection, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, etc. etc. It'd be similar to the LCS in terms of its modularity for different systems, but it wouldn't be such a cluster, as everything i've mentioned is really just different sensors/electronic systems.

All these surplus ICBMS?  How much does it cost to de-mill those fuckers?  Fuck that.... I want a Lance Corporal that's been sitting on a hilltop in Lunchmeatastan to be able to get on the horn and have a fucking missle come screaming out of the Dakotas at 7,000 mph with enough chicken fried steak, gravy, coffee, eggs and muffins and shit to feed a squad.  Have that bitch scream across the globe in 25 minutes and heat everything up during re-entry.  Shit man, I'd even throw in a dozen mini-bottles of shitty no-name bourbon in the re-entry capsule.

Sooooo many things to chose from.

For a start, 747 or C17 bombers.

Much more foreign made weapons.

Reduce number of foreign bases. (I'm sure most here will be shitting their pants in rage and/or terror for my even mentioning that.)

I can't decide if I would axe the F35 program, (see avatar and a next gen A10 for suggested replacements) or put someone like Sylvan in charge of procurement for the Air Force just for giggles.

It really irritated me when they shut down production of the F22. If I were in charge of the pentagon I would definitely demand to see anything they have on an F22 replacement.

That paper plane is probably intended to be powered by an EM drive or some other currently mythical or semimythical power plant.

I envision a special space station/ nuclear reactor. Bombarding heavy elements with neutrons, to make them even denser than naturally possible, creating synthetically dense exotic elements. Creating rods so atomically dense that when they impact the crust, they go through the crust and towards the core, causing massive seismic and crustal distress in the targeted area. Ensuring near biblical and long lasting destruction
