In what way does it make America weaker?

Assuming this was asked in good faith, I'll answer it as such. It weakens us by knocking out experienced and talented DoD employees.

Do we need more? There are literally millions of DoD employees. Nothing presented here (in this or related articles) is convincing. Typical FUD.

Spinning down the team made to bring silicon valley innovation to defense is deeply problematic when the accusations is that DoD is inefficient.

You don’t see why we want to “counter adversarial drones?”

Put it another way. What would we have paid to have an Elon Musk in Beijing or Moscow ten years ago?
