#1 Probably told by their gov't liaison people that a cancellation from the Administration was coming. Waive the contract termination dollars and donate them to the party.

#2 ....Clearly, Ms. Warden would have NG move into means of killing the enemy in a peaceful manner.

And I would note she makes no mention of refunding all that sweet, sweet taxpayer money her company is getting on the B-21 Raider project, which will eventually be the only bomber we have specifically intended for nuclear delivery.

Just sayin'.

#3 Woke Weapons of War guaranteed to not hurt anyone but will destroy a baby milk factory every now and then. Suggest NG hammer their remaining aluminum supplies into foil hats.

#4 How do I short Northrop Grumman stock and become a millionaire overnight? Not sarcasm I'm serious.

#7 NG doesn't make cluster bombs; the last maker was Textron and they quit several years back.

"structured to help remove cluster munitions safely"

Sounds like they were concerned about liability claims if they didn't do their job right.

#8 ...means of killing the enemy in a peaceful manner.

"Lightly killed," as the Monty Pythom sketch put it.

#9 Precisely what the soldier in the field is concerned with when employing a weapon: is my weapon compliant with "environment, sustainability, and workforce-diversification".

Future generations are fucked.
