McCain unloads on Boxer at Fiorina rally

PHOENIX - NOVEMBER 25: Former Republican pres...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
The Hill:

Campaigning for former adviser Carly Fiorina Saturday in San Diego, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ripped into fellow Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), calling her the "most bitterly partisan, most anti-defense Senator in the United States Senate today."

McCain told the crowd at a rally for Fiorina that he has had "the unpleasant experience" of serving with Boxer in the Senate, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"When you hear her say that she supports the men and women in the military, my friends, she does not," McCain said, according to the Times. "Because she has never supported the mission, she has never supported victory whether it be in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the world. Barbara Boxer wants to wave the white flag of surrender and endanger this nation’s national security. It’s time she went back to San Francisco with Nancy Pelosi.”

...
He is right, but it is seldom that you hear a senator unload on a colleague like this. The audience in San Diego should be receptive to his message. Fiorina has kept the contest close. I hope she can pull it out.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
