The Defense Millendustry: Or The Call for Freedom Engineers and Scientists Or How to Hand the (missile) Keys Over to the Millennials (and their robots (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950339396)

The defense industry protects our democratic freedoms while increasing threats gather on the horizon. It also fuels our economy and maintains a proficient Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) workforce. And now, the whole industry is also being handed over to millennials as they come into their prime. Yes, these are the same millennials known for job-hopping every two years, receiving participation trophies, lacking savings accounts, and lacking focus -- and we're asking them to commit to designing secretive billion dollar pieces of equipment that take decades to build and maintain, all while not mentioning it on social media. Is the meme of millennials killing everything OK to joke about when discussing the defense industry? Well, this is one instance where that won't be the case, and this book explains why. The Defense Millendustry describes the satisfaction in crafting feats of engineering for our service men and women (it is in fact a STEM wonderland), describes the growing internal (bureaucracy) and external (latest bad guys/girls) challenges to our national security, lists the exciting technologies millennials will be working with (such as autonomous vehicles, supersonic travel, and even lasers!), but more importantly, it covers how the millennial (and Z) generations will transition into a freedom engineering role and take leadership of the defense industry, making it their own "Defense Millendustry."
