Larger armies just with mass often won wars from like 4,000 BC to fricking, you know, the 1800s, you know, then maneuver started becoming more important.

And now it's like, how can you maneuver mass most effectively?

Even when I was doing my first augment, I was with the ground force commander who conducted the bin Laden raid.

He was kind enough to mentor me.

And he's like, look, he's like, what we do at DevGuru is like really cool.

He's like, but, he's like, we need our brothers or sisters in the army and the Marine Corps to bring the mass to the fight.

You need mass to occupy terrain.

You need mass to create stability.

And like,

you know, soft forces just don't bring the mass or the heft of the fight.

And that's why you need the Army and the Marine Corps to bring that level of mass.

What autonomy does is it unlocks the concept of near infinite intelligent maneuverable mass, where you are no longer limited by the number of personnel you have, right?

The number of

warfighters that the United States could theoretically field, right?

Call it able-aged men and women from age 18 to 55.

There's a finite number of people.

With AI and autonomy and

combined with industrial production, you can field million, 10 million, 100 million drone-sized armies to employ mass effectively on the battlefield.

And that's why it's such a big deterrent, and that's why I think the United States has to lead.

That's why it's like the most strategic, AI and autonomy being the most strategic capability for the next 50 years.
