Listen now | In World War II, the U.S. government embraced a radical idea: putting scientists and technologists in charge of building advanced weapons. The rest, as we say, is history. What are the radical ideas we need today? And what can we learn from the history of Silicon Valley?
The last major DOD reorg was the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986. Maybe a few things have changed over the last 38 years. It’s time for a major review to address some of these issues!
The DoD is a real problem with its distraction away from lethality and weapons development to wokeism. Warfare is a hard science, not a social petri dish.
There is an entire entrenched level of leadership at the General/Flag officer level promoted more for wokeism catechism rather than war fighting.
It is a place that can be dramatically streamlined by some tech driven efficiency. We are getting a good look at battlefield intel and actionable intel watching Palantir in Ukraine.
