Re: "Newest officers of the Army reserve: Tech executives"
the implication is obvious and one would have to deliberately ignore how both Trump and most folks in the world use the word "America" to refer specifically the US.

I think most US citizens don't think much about other countries in the Americas

Truth be told, I could probably only identify 90% of the South American countries, and probably get 70% if asked to point to them on a map. But I grew up seeing news reports of adults being unable to point to where their state is on a map.

@darkghost, that's because you are a brainiac.
Original Post
Newest officers of the Army reserve: Tech executives — Meta's CTO, OpenAI's chief product officer, and Palantir's CTO are the newest officers of the Army Reserve. They've been appointed as lieutenant colonels. They have been tasked with modernizing the US military. This is the typical ending rank for 20 years of service. To be gifted ranks like this outside of wartime sends a clear message to Army officers everywhere: 🖕 The blurring of industry and military... Can we call it fascist yet?
