Hagel Concerned over Technologies, Weapons Obtained by Hizbullah
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced a technological innovation plan to ensure America's military superiority in the 21st century, expressing concern over technologies and arms obtained by Hizbullah.
“Technologies and weapons that were once the exclusive province of advanced nations have become available to a broad range of militaries and non-state actors, from dangerously provocative North Korea to terrorist organizations like Hizbullah,” Hagel said at a national defense conference at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation in Simi Valley, California.
In a memo to Pentagon leaders in which be outlined the initiative, Hagel said the U.S. must not lose its commanding edge in military technology.
"The plan will put resources behind innovations," Hagel noted.
He did not indicate how much the Pentagon would spend on the initiative.
The push will identify new approaches to warfare for the U.S. military that include miniaturization, big data, autonomous robotic systems and 3-D printing.
Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work was named to lead a group including other senior defense officials focused on the push.
Hagel said he expects the working group to propose important changes to how the agency identifies and responds to military challenges.

Right. And in your twisted view of the world, does George W. Bush represent strength then? Is Abdul-Rahman Kassig also weak in your view, because he also chose to aid the helpless and wounded and sought to avert causing wars at all price? I suggest you re-calibrate your moral compass.

To Bigon Poison: As An Iranian Agent, you go and look at the green Revolution, the freedoms given by your vilayat Alfaqih, the criminal involvement of Basadran against innocent Iranian People and using shi3a in the Arabic countries against their People and governments. DO Not Use ZIONIZIM as an EXCUSE to increase your Iranian involvement more and more in countries that hate you and hate your fake Ayatolah and their Revolutionary Guards who are more dangerous than ISIS and Nusra. You see Bigon, in all these problems Zionizim and zionists are not as hurting as your HizEbola terrorists and sub agents and their Masters in Iran. Clear This logic does not work hear any more.
