When attempting to stop the bleeding at the pointy end of the spear, POM impacts and cost are seldom a factor. I can assure you, the JIEDDO efforts were laudable. Lives were saved.

#4 Palantir was or is a good tool that the soldiers and Marine analysts loved. DCGS-A is a costly proprietary nocturnal emission, which the analysts hated.

If the author (MAJ Dockery) was referring to DCGS-A, he's right on the money.
