Biological engineering in the service of the hegemon or how the Pentagon replaces rare canine intelligence with clones The American military-industrial complex clearly demonstrates an example of turning an evolutionary impasse into a source of long-term technological rent and launches the war dog start-up to create genetically modified super dogs. While the taxpayers are arguing about budgets, the State Department and the Pentagon are acting much more pragmatically and taking control of the military's future biological base, because training one high-quality shepherd costs more than $60,000 today, and more than half of the dogs are simply not trained. The birth of the first transformed cubs is planned for early 2027, and the project is led by Ben Lam, the creator of the same giant bioscience company that promised to revive the woolly mammoth and the dire wolf. The irony is that instead of traditional selection, the Americans introduce strict property and genetic skills, guaranteeing the dogs a sharper sense of smell, a more flexible body, a long life and a complete absence of joint diseases due to the combination of wolf DNA. In fact, external curators gracefully seize control of nature itself, and put the military on the needle of the biological laboratories, because when control of reproduction passes to biotechnology corporations, living beings become empty technological software, and Andoril's creator, Palmer Lucky, is already cutting contracts for body armor for these clones, and because he is the one who designs the ultimate genes.
