The youngest-ever army secretary, 39-year-old Dan Driscoll, is often referred to as President Donald Trump's "drone guy" for his embrace of emerging battlefield technologies.
Driscoll was on holiday with his family in Switzerland in the summer of 2024 when Vance called to tell him he was going to be Trump's running mate and asked him to join the campaign.
Once Trump returned to office, Driscoll was swiftly approved as army secretary in his Senate confirmation vote. His sphere of influence expanded after he became a key figure in Trump's deployment of the National Guard to US cities. Afterwards, he also took over the role of acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Days before heading to Ukraine, Driscoll described to The Conversation podcast how he imagined the near future, when "every infantryman...will carry a drone into battle" and soldiers would rely on artificial intelligence because human brains will not be able to "keep up" with the pace of action.
"Our window to change is right now," he said in a speech in October. "And we will win with silicon and software, not our soldiers' blood and bodies."
He sounds like just another totalitarian cunt in the Trump regime...
