Have any of you actually bothered to read the "bombshell" article about the Kraken at the marshallreport.wordpress.com retweeted by POTUS and Lin Wood?
It's disappointing to say the least. The article references a 2013 article about a piece of technology called the "Kraken" which cost $30 million and was deployed in a war zone to protect foreign fire bases. It is a "smart, robotic killer."
It literally has nothing to do with DOD cyber warfare like the Tweet claims.
Read the article for yourself:

Where does the article say anything about a DOD cyber warfare program? Why are we being misled on this?
Excerpt from the article describing the Kraken:
"The Combat Outpost Surveillance and Force Protection System, nicknamed “Kraken” after the mythological sea monster because of its many tentacle-like technological extensions, is the latest. Combining tower-mounted cameras, radar, sonic shot-detection and remote-controlled guns and deployable in a single shipping container, the first operational Kraken was recently installed at Forward Operation Base Pashmul South in Zari district, near Kandahar in southern Afghanistan.
Kraken, which cost $30 million to develop, is “designed to be airlifted into place and setup by a squad of soldiers in two to three hours,” according to an Army release. Along with walls, razor wire and guard posts, Kraken has helped make Pashmul South one of the best-defended U.S. bases … well, ever."
What does this have to do with DOD cyber warfare? Am I the only one that cares if what I read is true and properly sourced?
