Can someone explain to me how the US military is still unable to distinguish pine nut farmers from IS Jihadi terrorists? Where is all this advanced military tech I keep hearing the US military is developing that people are mistaking for aliens?

The world's largest, most expensive military does not make mistakes. If they admit a mistake, it's to cover up something far more nefarious.

You mean, like Facebook “admitting” to a “bug” that “leaked” user data after they'd been caught red-handed?
