3% additional spending tips the scales in our favor? I find it hard to believe that such a little bit at the margin could have such a decisive impact.
I don’t buy it, I think someone just wants more money.
Not a chance. Hussein took care of all this.
Probably involves moving around existing money as well.
Does RAND have functions other than seeking perpetual war and perpetual military funding increases? In other words, does RAND have a conflict of interest, in seeking to show the that US would lose conflicts, so as to incentivize increased funding?
The only people who want America to be in chronic conflict with Russia and China are the globalists. Peace and cooperation with the world’s determined nations only reinforces nationalism and thwarts the dream of world government.
Based on what I've read over the years about these military simulations, they appear to be the same thing so I'm not surprised that 3% annual spending increase tips the scales back in our favor. It's all about finding the gaps and cracks that cause the loss and fixing them.
Seems to me the same principles in Disaster Recovery are applicable here. (Just my guess and opinion of course.)

Always follow the money.
As CiC, I believe that Trump could potentially win a war.
With anyone else from our “two parties” as CiC, no. Our politicians are worthless, and none of them are leaders.
An old proverb comes to mind: For want of a nail...
I’m sure you’ve heard it before.
Did the simulator take into account trannies and pregnant women in combat roles?
Interesting analogy. Thanks for posting your thoughts.
I would wager that 3% could be recouped by eliminating all the touchy-feely sensitivity training and GLBTQXYZ outreach and support programs.
“finding the gaps and cracks that cause the loss and fixing them.”
In my career, I heard countless times “work smarter, not harder.” I heard an equal number of times how the government is going to root out “fraud, waste and abuse.”
Rarely do those things happen and certainly not with the same leadership. Even with new leadership, you have people doing things the way they have for years or decades. Changing organizations, even with only a few hundred or maybe a thousand people is incredibly hard. People have vested interests in the power they have accumulated and keeping their little fiefdoms alive.
“Finding the cracks and fixing them” is usually a Herculean effort and, in my experience, usually delivers nothing.
[I am however very fluent in disaster recovery scenario’s for Enterprise I.T. The entire point of our exercises is to find where failures happen and remediate them prior to a disaster actually happening and re-test to make sure we can recover.]
Don’t tell that to the local idiots I worked for years ago. In my whole career I never met a group of people so incredibly ignorant. It was like finding a lost tribe on a remote island that hadn’t changed since the 1600’s.
But then, preparing for I.T. disaster was 25% of my job some days. Especially when I was working for a bank.
Nothing to worry about
Allowing companies to develop their own standards instead of government bureaucraps telling them all what to build and how to build it would go a long way toward reducing the extreme dependence upon technology for existence and it would cost less instead of more.
Far too much government direction, not enough common sense.
This is all about the motive, huge corporations designing the political system to promote their own welfare and elimination of smaller competitors.
That is a poison suicide pill.
[I heard countless times “work smarter, not harder.”]
How about “Think outside the box”?
There’s a great one.
