A papyrus scroll that was burned and carbonized when Mount Vesuvius erupted almost 2,000 years ago has been virtually unrolled and partially deciphered with the help of artificial intelligence.
Everything you say is reasonable, provided you have reasonable people in place. It is very simple to verify that many senior people left the US military in the last year and a half, someone whose last significant role prior to being promoted to secretary of defense was a media gig, and many actions with the military have been done for ideological, rather than pragmatic, reasons. The most recent that leaps to mind is the reinstating of required flu vaccinations after their current leadership discovered both that flu vaccines work pretty well and that having a significant number of sick soldiers doesn’t. Actions like those place their other decisions under scrutiny, whether that be starting the war in the first place or using an LLM to help, or perhaps entirely, create the battle plan they used.
I’m afraid we have nothing more to talk about. While I have no idea whether people working in the US military are incompetent or not, I would tend to think they are not. It appears you think the opposite. One of the two of us may be closer to the truth, however I doubt any of us actually knows.
It’s been a good chat!
