After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.

The key thing for this war (all wars ultimately but this especially) is spending less to counter an attack than the attack cost the other side. The Army's drone hunter is 1/3 the price of Iranian attack drones.
