Four CIVILIANS (tech CTO's) sworn in as Lt. Cols in US Army. I just [View all]
found out about this, though it happened in June. (www.military.com, 17 June 2025, Steve Beynon, reporter). from palantir, meta, open ai, and something called thinking machine labs. .and they refuse to recuse themselves from conducting business with DoD.
It may have been discussed here when it happened, but I just now learned about it when a friend sent me a copy of a facebook post.
Am I right to be worried, or am I overreacting?
ETA: As it turns out, this was covered here at the time, including inforrmation about it actually being an initiative of the Biden administraion, along with information about Direct Commission Officers. Having read all of that, and responses here, let me say this. Under President Biden, or President Harris (as it should have been), I could see some possible benefits. HOWEVER, under this current regime of scum aand corruption at every level, I foresee nothing but graft, corruption, possible treason, and evil.
May I be proven wrong (not holding my breath!).
