  • When I started learning the capabilities of the F-35 in ~2013, it was obvious to me that the next generation of air power will be entirely autonomous, at least entirely remote. (Most people thought I was thinking too far into the future, “there’s no way they can control something moving that fast on the other side of the world.”) The limiting factor in planes is the human. Take the human out, and it’s a lot more capable.

    I think that in the not so near future, world wide air travel will be highly restricted due to systems built to respond to automated/remote threats.
















  • If chain of command is always followed, then the orders will be neutered before they can be carried out.

    While any superior officer can circumvent subordinates, as far as I understand it, this would be highly unusual, insulting, and self-disparaging. Technically Miller himself could give the orders to specific troops to carry out, but as soon as his orders are issued, the troops commanding officer can belay those and issue their own.

    There is a reason tyrants don’t like chain of command.

    Edit: Stephen Miller is just Policy Chief of Staff. Basically a talking head at this point. No actual ability to give orders
