    As with financial innovations always in search of new ways to fleece their customers, the executive innovation corps will spearhead new ways of screwing over veterans, enlisted, and the people of the USA.

      Probably help more "efficiently" surveil and bomb more Gazans and Iranians. Genocide is big business and now they get medals and free healthcare for it.

          No, now it's an official department, not a backroom side gig.

            you'd think they would know this before they start minting FUCKING LT COL's OUT OF TECHBROS.

            What in the actual fuck.

              Most likely it was a move primarily about getting senior level execs at those companies into the military machine -- and into the chain of command of that machine. It makes those companies 'disclosing' data to the military much more likely, as well as tweaking apps to aid in military operations.

              Like havin the CTO of meta "in the circle", likely gives them complete access to meta's tracking data for any target they want, in a more efficient way than previous.

                One thing that makes Western militaries so deadly is their usage of merit vs social position to gain leadership. Oops. I mean "was."

                  Probably to grant contracts as rewards to trump donor companies?

                    About 18 months ago, the defense secretary’s office floated the idea to the services

                    Presumably Hegseth had some idea, since it's his office that pushed the idea. Also, since he personally has been an Army reservist, I kind of imagine that this is a personal Pete Hegseth idea.

                    18 months ago Hegseth wouldn't have been allowed inside the DoD.

                        Joining the army as an officer means they can catch the death penalty for disobeying an order.

                        They joined because they're greedy, stupid and short-sighted.

                          It literally just sounds like a department for nepo hires and fake promotions.

                                We have a term here in Brazil, for appointed "job" positions that seem to have no responsibilities and are basically a way for rich people to place their relatives and such in places close to power:

                                  In argentina we call them ñoquis. Which is a food that we traditionally ate on the 29th of each month. The joke being that these people show up once per month at the end for their paycheck and do nothing the rest of the days

                                        I’m an executive husband in my household. As a matter of fact, I’m the CEO of husbands at home. There isn’t a higher ranking husband than me in my place of residence.
