Where does it say in the video that this is a US military member? Perhaps this video is from overseas which might explain the bad grammar, poor music, and odd clothing.

In addition to pushing the boundaries of the start-of-the-art, they ALSO

Made it in a convenient binary form, suitable for field-expedient use.

You can build an airplane that goes Mach 3+

You can build one with a MGTOW > 1 Million Lbs.

You can build one with a 40-hour endurance.

But it would be pretty hard to build one that could do all three.
