Ok. So here’s your new CO. His name is musk. Elon musk. He has 0 military experience or training. And you are being deployed next week. Go get em tiger.
I don’t get it. Why?
their bribes were successful, this is their payback.
I assume they are going to be given the rank of commissar.
All ist klar?
Oh-ho!
Get used to it. The United States of America has become something we won’t recognize.
so the guy who hates soldiers and avoided obligatory service with a shameless medical issue is now injecting suits into it in a further act of denigration.
Sad expectation, unfortunately.
Great, so they’re legitimate non-civilian targets.
Great, more PowerPoint soldiering, that’ll help.
Well, on the plus side, if you do get conscripted you might be able to intimidate your officer, as they will be an unfit nerd and not a warrior. Fragging no longer needed.
Hey Grok, what is fragging?
In another thread about this, people were calling this fake because of the source.
Edit: The source wasn’t Gizmodo.
Wired, nypost, and some others in a quick search.
Yeah, not in the sewer mains yet. https://www.wired.com/story/what-lt-col-boz-and-big-techs-enlisted-execs-will-do-in-the-army/
Oof.
FUCK THIS TIMELINE
Imagine having seen combat and suddenly having to take orders from some coddled millionaire man-child that’s cosplaying as commissioned officer
The worst boot louies brought to you by right-wing DEI
"They’ll work on helping the Army acquire more commercial tech, though it’s not clear how conflict-of-interest issues will be enforced, given the fact that the people all work for companies that would conceivably be selling their wares to the military. "
They’re doing it for the corruption. Instead of the Army picking the best technology, the CTO of Palantir will be ordering the Palantir contracts.
Next step is for Trump to fire the Generals and replace them with Maga CEO’s.
Today’s joke, tomorrow’s realit- wait, that’s basically what they’re doing now. I’m sure when the Palantir slug disagrees with the General, it’s going to the slug.
America gets one step closer to a service aristocracy.
Work hard for 10 years, do a great job, “Sorry, no promotion to Lt Colonel for you, we gave it to Trump’s friend.”
