More politicization and worse, incipient Silicon Valley takeover of the U.S. military from within. I can hardly quantify my level of revulsion at this mockery of the military under a criminal commander in chief.
Army bringing in big tech executives as lieutenant colonels: The Army is swearing in top tech executives from Meta, OpenAI and Palantir as senior officers to be part-time advisors.
"...the four executives will get up to two weeks of online and face-to-face training at Fort Benning, Georgia on physical fitness, marksmanship and “basic soldier tasks” such as Army customs and courtesies, rank structure and uniform wear. The four will not attend the Army’s full six-week Direct Commissioning Course at Fort Benning, a common but not universal training program for new officers."
“Their swearing-in is just the start of a bigger mission to inspire more tech pros to serve without leaving their careers, showing the next generation how to make a difference in uniform,” the Army said in a release.
