> A decade ago, it would’ve been unthinkable for so many tech heavyweights to openly align with the U.S. military.

It still is. Don’t be fooled by propaganda pieces like this.

It is followed up by two blatant falsehoods:

> But a sea change has taken place in both places because of the urgency and seriousness of the moment.

> Wars in Europe and the Middle East and, above all, the threat of a war in the Pacific have focused the national mind and initiated a scramble for mobilization.

None of this is true in the sense he means it. Businesses have scrambled to have alternatives to China, yes, but that’s nothing to do with the military.

> The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps, under the direction of the Army’s chief of staff, General Randy George, is part of a larger effort by our military to transform the way it prepares for and fights wars in the 21st century.

Expanding the military-industrial complex is of no benefit to anyone other than those in the military-industrial complex (such as the author of this article).

Such transparent self-serving.
