  The smaller the pieces you divide a job into, the less likely that any of the individual steps understand the entire process.

  You tell one guy to bomb NYC, he’s going to stop and think about that.

  You tell a hundred people to push a few buttons, and they’re just doing their job.

  Relying on trained people to not do the thing they’re trained for strikes me as a bad plan.

    Many of these people are trying to do their 20 and get out with retirement. They’re not going to quit like it’s a shit job at McDonald’s.

      Then you can expect them to do as ordered, no? Since refusal would result in a discharge and loss of said benefits.

        Arguing with US nationalism is fucking merry-go-round. They’re always expecting that one hero that’ll topple generations of conditioning, like a superman. When they’ve shown time and again they are very capable of horrible fucking shit throughout the history.

        They act like their contrymen are somehow morally superior group of people who stopped killing civillians at Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria or even their own countrymen. History books say no, their policians hide the crimes (revealed years later) and these people still eat the propaganda for breakfast.
