But it you know, it was very explicit and I'm pretty sure it was in the Washington Post.
podcast-host
I probably could find it.
podcast-host
Go ahead.
podcast-host
I'm sorry.
podcast-host
but I have to say I saw a whole documentary about this, and it was the British who invented the cockeyed landing strip, and the Americans refused to adopt it because they didn't want to, even though the Brits proved that no, it works.

And what had happened what h kept happening was they kept crashing into all the planes parked down at the end of the runway.
podcast-host
And killing themselves and guys were just dying over and over and over.
podcast-host
And then they said, Look, you could just put the runway crooked and the Americans were like, No uh, no, you can't either, and they kept it that way.

podcast-host
Like say for example when the Israelis gave our blueprints to the Chinese for a little bit of money.
podcast-host
Um
podcast-host
We had these gatling guns for that, which good luck, but there's no good defense for a ballistic missile coming straight down onto the deck of an aircraft.
podcast-host
There is not.
