    I really don’t understand this. What does the Army gain by commissioning tech execs as reserve officers? Wouldn’t it be far more effective to just hire their companies as contractors? Or commission high-level engineers as officers. A tech exec’s skillet is running a company. Sure, offer commissions to their most skilled employees, but to the execs themselves, why?

      This is also going to be used against the general populace. Setting up the Techno-Fuedal Surveillance state. The Militaries of the future will be policing their own countries more and more. Very soon the regular police will all have masks and blacked out helmets.
