Does “US gov funded” immediately make me suspicious of it happening? Yes.

As it should. Frankly NO Government should have sway over the CVE program, they are all shady AF and every one them would absolutely do what you are describing if they felt it was in their interest.

Good. Despite the fact that my Government is currently being run by baboons the US Government shouldn't have been the sole carrier of such a globally important program. The CVE program is central to how security companies, Qualys being an example, make absolute shedloads of money. These companies shouldn't be getting a free ride; it's only right that they contribute to maintaining the resource.

There's also the argument that no single Government should have control over something like this.

It was impressive but it happened in 1999. The Dutch Captain said that he doubted he could do it again and indeed a different Dutch Submarine failed at it the next year.

Carriers are considerable faster (30 Knots) than Diesel Subs (20 Knots) too, something the Dutch Captain touches on in that article.

Millennium Challenge 2002. That was a boondoggle. Yes the opposing force won and they had to reset the game but the OPFOR was up to some ridiculous shenanigans. For instance instead of using radios, which could be intercepted and tracked, they used motorcycles to convey messages...motorcycles that could travel at the speed of light.

Another piece of silliness is that there were commercial vessels (non-combatants) on the virtual water but OPFOR sometimes used them in ways that were impossible. As an example radar would return a 12 foot fishing boat and then that boat would launch four 20 foot long anti-ship missiles.

Then there's whole idea of a CBG just hanging around shore for days on end staying inside a pre-determined box so that OPFOR always knew their location, something that almost certainly not happen in an IRL conflict.

The Commander of the Opposing Force was extremely clever but they needed a long list of nearly impossible to achieve advantages to make it work.

I hard doubt the US doesn’t have classified hypersonic missile tech....

The HACM (Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile) is already out there.

These people are all fucking idiots. No business can plan anything when costs are whipsawing and our trading partners are already tired of reacting to these near daily changes.

I just don't have language strong enough to convey my utter exasperation and the depth of my contempt for these people.

Saw this attack in the wild this week. Huntress MDR detected and shut it down.

You’re not the person the meme is targeting. Way to ignore the first 3 panels.

You are correct, this wasn't targeted at me and I didn't fully absorb the content before replying to it. I'm going through a rough patch and it clouded me for a bit.

Should we also show “empathy” to Klansmen who joined up because they claim to feel disenfranchised by society?

There's a chasm of difference between empathizing with a Klansman and empathizing with people who followed a normal, and I use that word loosely, cultural track. The two are so distinctly different that comparing them is absurd.

Your idea of empathy is why the Andrew Tates of this world can thrive.

That guy and the way he lives his life are disgusting, do not associate me with them.

Every lonely man who doesn't fit the played out internet stereotype of an incel. You likely see several of them a day.
