People who see this as a cool leap forward are dangerously missing a glaring problem. Skynet! Political leaders historically have to appeal to a patriotic military with human leaders and pilots to accomplish their goals. Having a real human in the cockpit limits their ability to issue unlawful or inhumane orders against an enemy or civilian population. An AI controlled F-16 has massive destructive capability. When controlled by AI it can give a tyrannical leader the ultimate power at the push of a button. Although advantageous in certain tactical scenarios, this development is highly dangerous. The fighter pilot community needs to push back hard on this. Keep human pilots in the seat! Demand that constitutional based AI safety code be added to all AI weapon algorithms in order to protect individual civil liberties. This will come back to bite us if we aren’t extremely careful. We don’t have a lot of time left. Skynet is built around us right now. #fighterpilot #AI #humansfirst #f16 #AITC

**🌍 The Unsung Heroes of #Shipping: #WoodPallets 🌍** Did you know that wood pallets play a crucial role in the #globalsupplychain? Virtually everything you see in stores or use daily has been transported on a pallet at some point. These sturdy platforms are the backbone of shipping, ensuring goods are moved efficiently and safely around the world. Joe recently shared an incredible video showcasing the #ingenuity of our #USmilitary in offloading massive #cargo planes. It was fascinating to see how they are able to quickly load ammunition, utilize wood pallets and crates to drop supplies in various ways, and transport supplies in a safe and sturdy way. The efficiency and effectiveness of these methods are truly impressive! The versatility of wood pallets is astounding—they not only support logistics in commercial settings but also adapt to meet the demands of critical operations, like those of our #military. Next time you see a pallet, take a moment to appreciate the vital role it plays in #transportinggoods and supporting industries across the globe. Pallets may seem simple, but their impact is monumental! Check out the video for some amazing insights into how wood pallets are utilized in military logistics! 📦✈️ https://lnkd.in/ewehe2TQ #WoodPallets #SupplyChain #Logistics #MilitaryEfficiency #GlobalTrade #WoodIsGood #PalletsMoveTheWorld #McVantage

Thoughts from “Masters of the Air,” now onto Episode 4: First, my opinion is that this series is brilliant. Exceptionally well-made. From my US Air Force perspective, as a been-deployed vet, I have an ever deeper appreciation for it. The series makes the levels of risk taken on by the 100th Bomb Group out of England in 1943 exceptionally, transparently clear. It is vividly depicted. Also, the series makes it very understandable how an Air Force base functions and all the moving parts it requires to get the aircraft up and to put hot steel on targets. And, how in WWII and up to relatively recently, the US military did not have air superiority. Not in the ETO or the Pacific Theater. I write this because, while the US Air Force (at least between 2004-9 and particularly in 2007 when I was sent to Airman Leadership School), actively teaches USAF history and legacy, this series does a fantastic job of showing the Airman ethos. I once gave a lecture when I was a 3E9 training instructor about the historical risks faced by Airmen when a young Airman made comments about how the Air Force is ‘easy’ and ‘just like a regular job.’ Also, In this modern age where joint and combined operations are common, it is easy to get the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps missions interlocked, more times than others depending on the MOS/AFSC/Rate. For example, in USAF EM/CBRN ops, the Tactics/Techniques/Procedures have a Vinn Diagram type relationship but, ultimately, the Air Force’s unique mission is to operate, secure, and respond to incidents/attacks in and around an Airbase. This series is obviously set during WWII, but, just the same in the modern age, we would be running CBRNE recon following each barrage to clear the base for those bombers to get airborne. It’s awesome to see the big picture on the screen and the actual air missions in vivid depictions. And finally, with my Grandpa having been an Army Air Forces Master Sergeant during WWII loading ammunition onto P51’s, it gives unique insight into his life during those years. Looking forward to Episodes 5 and on!

I have an essay in this issue of Consequence Forum where, as I write a letter to my once and future self, I layer an episode of Star Trek onto my own struggle with feelings of culpability and guilt around my wartime service. There's a ton of good writing and serious thought in this issue, and you should check it out. https://lnkd.in/eMS6W_rs

On 9/15/50 one of the most profound examples of maneuver warfare in history was conducted retaking the Korean peninsula from the June incursion of that year. One’s mind races considering how this could happen today from all the perspectives, military, political, logistical, media cycle. Given the evolving pan-Pacific threat how would we even plan let alone conduct such an operation. We wonder how the US Navy could construct the fleet that participated in the landing and then place the number of assault troops on land. One of the biggest asks is who would be responsible for understanding & planning the operations at the critical surf zone level? The Navy? The Army? This aspect will become a key pilar of the Army’s push to become relevant in any Littoral operations going forward. If these and other mission sets aren’t worked out, then instructions like this will be frequent and we are short of MacArthur type leaders. https://lnkd.in/gu4pp55z #flyingisntflightest #IFF #criticalops

If your goal is TV coverage then you have to think about the pictures journalists will use to tell your story. We love that Heston Russell and the team behind Veteran Games came into this year's #PR campaign with a library of high-quality footage filmed at last year's inaugural event on the Gold Coast. It's meant we've been able to generate news stories, like this one on 7 News Sunshine Coast, and show exactly what the Games are about. It takes planning, but investing in quality video when you stage an event can make all the difference when you are trying to reach as big an audience as possible. (This year's Veteran Games are on August 17-18) #publicrelations #marketing #veterans #defence #supportingourtroops

Another episode on what it's like to go to war! In this one, I dive into the role of technology in warfare and why, from Cain and Abel to today, it's ultimately the human factor that determines victory.

No spoilers, I promise! Finished the Apple+ series "Masters of the Air" last night, the 9-part story of the 100th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force, and the European air campaign.... essentially, a "Band of Brothers" for the Air Force. If you're a current, past, or prospective American Airman, do yourself a favor, get a free trial of Apple+, binge watch the series immediately, and then, go read the Airman's Creed...it's going to hit differently. (you may want to have some Kleenex handy) If you're not an Airman or even affiliated with the military, I'd still recommend the series. The leadership/followership examples and values demonstrated by the protagonists of the series are critical and highly relevant, regardless of your industry. https://lnkd.in/gVeR7KgZ
