Does Corey have a height requirement? Markwayne at 5'4" might fall a little short, but he's eager to please.
They should ask Ukraine for advice on fighting drone warfare that they're getting hammered by. The U.S. & Israel are using up multi-million dollar rockets to shoot down sub-$50k drones and not even getting them all. Might cost them the aide they should have been giving Ukraine all along though.
