What incompetence? It’s just the usual corruption. It’s 90% of what Pentagon does.

Living outside the US I’m not sure if I should be glad or terrified by the Pentagon’s incompetence in these worrying times. Maybe I’m… I don’t know, 20% glad and 80% terrified? Sounds about right.

This is corruption, but there’s nothing usual about it.

Were it 90% of what Pentagon did, the rest of the world bar China and India would be US territories.

Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.

Being 90% corrupt gives you more territories than being 99% corrupt

Why would you be glad?

Incompetent Pentagon means they‘ll hopefully cause less destruction in the world but I‘m not sure that they will when working under mecha Hitler word salad.

You should be more terrified. And also more glad
