Nauseating. The unqualified being handed power is a hallmark of this disaster. Like handing tech execs the rank of Lt Colonel in the damn Army Reserve,
not even making them go to Basic.
"Four top tech execs from OpenAI, Meta, and Palantir have just joined the US Army — no obstacle courses, shouted orders, or grueling marches required.
The Army Reserve has commissioned these senior tech leaders to serve as midlevel officers, skipping tradition to pursue transformation. The newcomers won't attend any current version of the military's most basic and ingrained rite of passage— boot camp.
Instead, they'll be ushered in through express training that Army leaders are still hashing out, Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for the chief of staff of the Army, said in a phone interview with Business Insider."
Another slap in the face to the work and sacrifices of the chain of command. Way to inspire confidence in leadership yet again dipshits. It's only for two weeks out of the year, why not just 1st Lieutenants? This reeks of magat cosplay.
