How the Besties Think About Defense Investing #vc #technology #ai #allinpodcast
00:00:00.000 | I don't have a problem with investing in a company like Andrall.
00:00:02.980 | America needs defense companies in order to maintain its defense.
00:00:06.940 | And the problem right now that we have is there's these five prime companies that are
00:00:10.220 | antiquated and really expensive.
00:00:12.980 | And we need startup disruptors to that.
00:00:14.740 | So I'm not morally opposed to it.
00:00:16.460 | In fact, I think it's probably a good thing.
00:00:17.860 | I think my concern would be I don't really want to be part of the military industrial
00:00:21.300 | complex.
00:00:22.300 | I feel like it might corrupt my views on things.
00:00:24.100 | No, you'd want war, you'd be girding for war.
00:00:26.440 | That's your dimension.
00:00:27.440 | Right.
00:00:28.440 | I think it's more incentive to be like these generals who go on CNN and Fox News and justify
00:00:32.240 | every single war.
00:00:34.040 | That's my biggest fear as well.
00:00:35.200 | It's one thing to be investing in a bunch of companies where we're sitting around hoping
00:00:38.940 | for cheaper clicks on Facebook and Google.
00:00:41.120 | It's an entirely other thing to sit on the board of a company and hope for war.
00:00:44.440 | That's a horrible place to be.
00:00:45.840 | If you believe that America should be the most important country in the world and you
00:00:49.640 | have the ability to help it be that, eventually some of those decisions will come in contact
00:00:54.720 | with this kind of decision.
