"Naturally, as the country's foremost producer of military-grade drone technology, we here at General Dynamics were horrified to learn that drones were being employed in ways that are actually harmful to U.S. interests: specifically, for the illegal importation of controlled substances. And right here in our back yard! However, we do acknowledge that while drone technology is essentially good, it is possible for the truly depraved to turn this greatest of blessings into a curse. That's why we've developed the Just Say No, a tactical battle drone equipped with enough firepower to bring down the sturdiest drone mule. Not that we've ever manufactured a drone model that we called the mule, or sold such a drone to any particularly wealthy Mexican customers. That would be both immoral and insanely lucrative. At any rate, we feel confident that the United States Drug Enforcement Agency will want as many of these babies as we can crank out, at least until some unscrupulous drone maker comes out with an improved mule. One equipped with signal-jamming technology, say. But when that day comes, General Dynamics promises to respond with something bigger and better. As often as it takes. Because that's how much we love America."
