Missed the joke completely. Having said that, I have seen your posts are generally favorable towards him. Personally I am completely unimpressed with him as an officer. But that is solely based on his posting style. He may be a great guy. But I honestly doubt it. In the end, it is an anonymous internet forum. C'est la vie.



The guy posted literal - not as in fake news LOL but actual - Russian economic propaganda the other day and tried to play it off as legitimate. Linked here.

He posted a photoshopped picture of Rumsfeld and Sadaam Hussein which was the cornerstone of one of his conspiracy arguments. When called out on it, he refused to acknowledge what he had done or at least retract it. That is an integrity issue. As an officer, I cannot ignore that type of misrepresentation of facts by a fellow officer.

How to Adapt Military Risk to an Era of Hypercompetition

https://www.defenseone.com

"The United States and its defense establishment are stumbling through a period of hypercompetition. The current era is defined by furious battles for positional advantage at multiple extra-national, transnational, national, and sub-national levels. And, it occurs across physical, political, economic, virtual, and cognitive domains. The U.S. failure to cope appears to be the product of hubris, an unsophisticated appreciation for contemporary strategic-level hazards, stock-in-trade 20th-century strategy development processes — and a failure to grasp the nature of 21st-century risk...

As well, contemporary U.S. defense and military decision-making is taking place amid an erosion of U.S. military advantage and a restructuring of international security in ways that are inhospitable and often hostile to U.S. leadership. American strategy and risk conventions are patently ill-prepared for both circumstances. We suggest this has led us to a period of “post-U.S. primacy.”

Why would you try and mislead people?
