its pretty clear negligence to not have learned everything possible from the ukranian forces at all levels.
the US has learned this same lesson many times though, with people of all stripes posting their workouts running back and forth on aircraft carriers on strava. same with their patrol routes around bases
Learning probably hasn’t taken place because I think there is a disrespect on the part of the US forces towards the Ukraine and that probably was true in Vietnam and Afghanistan…
Doesn't even have to be a sale. The boundaries of US bases in the ME during our conflicts there could be very reliably be mapped inside Strava, et. al. because the soldiers would be posting workouts.
Having good control over the signals your soldiers emit is life or death and win or lose in modern war. If command does get control over that it becomes a great tool for deception in detail. If they do, the Pentagon might want to make an announcement like this to lure their enemies into using this data.
Battlefield AI could continuously generate simulations of troop deployments in plausible detail and publish them by loading web pages with spoofed location data on behalf of warfighter's "private" devices. They could also use drones as a kind of infantry chaff, with correct electromagnetic signatures from infrared to wifi.
Consider using the war powers act to stop the attacks on service people. Aiding and abetting the enemy. Maybe a tweet to DJT, Hegseth and General Caine. Could be a distraction from Iran or whatever else they may want a distraction from.
Wow, wasn't expecting to find good news here, but I think that would be a positive change.
