There have been talks of a spy/attack gyro, kind off one time deal (disposable) UAV.
I see this HUGE army been prepared and don't see another as a reason for it, maybe there will be an alien invasion in the near future.
Whowever created 9/11 showed us the power of the invisible enemy . . . F-18 are useless against small things.
