I read about that. Something that I found interesting is that the 24th
Air Force, the overall command for that piece of the Air Force, found
out about the virus through the news, which is not the desired channel
for such things.
On the other hand, the weapons I was familiar with "in the day" were not
susceptible to software viruses, as they really didn't have software by
today's standards. They had very, very few inputs, which I actually
will not discus, beyond again expressing doubt that UFOs could
"deactivate" them.

Mike, and now we have an issue, Virus infects U.S. military drones.
Guess
this has been going on for about 2 weeks and every time the wipe the
virus
off the systems, it reappears. Interesting if the US Military can't keep
a
virus from their systems, can you imagine the damage that can be done to
the world's economy if larger targets are affected!

Sandy
