One of our regular participants has suggested that we collectively read and discuss the attached article from this month’s Harpers Magazine, entitled The Pentagon’s Silicon Valley Problem.
The article has something for everyone–excessive Pentagon spending, Artificial Intelligence, abject failure of DOD programs, and more.
Let’s give it a try!
A good book on the subject is Samuel Moyn’s HUMANE: HOW THE UNITED STATES ABANDONED PEACE AND REINVENTED WAR (2021)

I would like to join, but can only do that virtually and intermittently. Not sure either will work. Virtual looks like only a “knock” on the Zoom door.
