CONFIDENTIAL_PROJECT: GOLIATH
I understand your concern. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around what they hope to accomplish. I’m not sure how they could honestly believe that a proposal so nakedly militarized would stand a chance at getting sign-off. But since they haven’t pushed for a call to veto yet, perhaps they are proposing the obscene so that the merely outrageous seems reasonable. I’d suggest hitting the drawing board again and this time stripping it to the bare bones. ONE ship. MINIMUM personnel. It’ll need to be a military vessel for the speed and utility, and we won’t even get one without a pretty serious security complement, so we’ll just have to accept that. If we can get sign-off from the budget board, chances are we can push this through before the war hawks have a chance to react.
