I am uncertain about whether to delete this one or not. If we follow backward on the "What Links Here", it eventually leads to several articles (all written by the same person) about defense-related matters. I agree that the entire article cluster is an island and is unlikely to be improved in the future on this wiki. But if we delete a stub like this, let's go ahead and flag the entire article cluster for deletion at the same time. Otherwise, we make the already-weak article cluster even weaker. Just my 2 cents worth. I would probably just leave it in place, but if you feel a strong urge to zap it, I won't stand in the way, as it is not really adding that much to the wiki.

To delete or not
I am uncertain about whether to delete this one or not. If we follow backward on the "What Links Here", it eventually leads to several articles (all written by the same person) about defense-related matters. I agree that the entire article cluster is an island and is unlikely to be improved in the future on this wiki. But if we delete a stub like this, let's go ahead and flag the entire article cluster for deletion at the same time. Otherwise, we make the already-weak article cluster even weaker. For example, this stub is being pointed at by the National Rifle Association (NRA) article, which for decades has been a huge political force in the U.S. So maybe not delete this one (and any like it)? Just my 2 cents worth. I would probably just leave it in place, but if you feel a strong urge to zap it, I won't stand in the way, as it is not really adding that much to the wiki.
