My opinion on Pentagon "agility" and brain-power - as it applies to advanced technology is that yes, they can "unbloat" and do that kind of thing rapidly on the rare occasion when it is given the highest priority with little disagreement at the top. But otherwise, they probably miss more opportunities than they steal. One dense general or tanked admiral can topple any brilliant advanced program, and there are dozens of each who oppose LERN. The one successful project category in recent years that has surprised everyone in how fast, how well, and how cost efficiently it was pulled off is the unmanned "drone" category. LENR of course is a perfect fit for that. Watch the NOVA documentary to find that the way it got off the ground rapidly was because a few private individuals were able to move it along outside the bureaucracy at the important early stages and then they got boosted by DARPA funds. Boeing and LM come in after the table has been set. One way LENR could have gotten enough high quality attention to have been already developed to a useful stage for drones would be if someone with DARPA connections had seen a relevant demo - say the Jansson thruster demo at Rowan State U, since Rossi probably came along too late - and then pretty much "borrowed" the technology. Or else Mills has had something under wraps in the back room at Cranberry for a long time, who knows? Makes sense. Maybe RM's paranoia is not as irrational as it seems and he has been in Sam's back pocket for all these frustrating years?
