True. Security seems relatively easy to handle. But the system itself becomes a “black box” that the military does not manage and does not understand. That’s part of the charm. They don’t need to understand it. It “just works”. I have a problem with that. In part, because it provides an excuse for the military to become even more incompetent with basic technology. Why should they understand their system? Their job is just to blow things up. This all makes me nervous.
Especially so if the Mil Cloud will be short-lived and replaced (perhaps) by blockchain technology which is a different paradigm. Will the military understand that one? Probably not.
