  1. A waste water treatment facility has extreme limitations on what it can clean, and literally just gets it to the won't-kill-the-environment level. Hormones, viruses, etc are too small to effectively process on a massive scale. New York for example, still sometimes releases raw sewage because they can't keep up.
  2. Trump and the Supreme Court have basically gutted the clean water act. If it's not navigable, the law doesn't apply to it.

    The US doesn't have the the emphasis on drone operations like modern conflict. They still see them as ISR and not force projectors/fires. Hard to learn skills when you don't have the type of device.

    Yes the brigade learned to reduce drones impact. But they couldn't stop them, respond to them, or use them against their enemies.

    Its like fighting an enemy that only they have artillery, you just have to keep getting blown up.
