I find it an odd idea that the military (at least the US military) is the paradigm of efficiency or organization. It's true they do have ways to get people do do what is directed but they aren't very efficient and organization at the micro level might be good but not at the macro. There is a reason the military is so absurdly costly and apparently has trouble decisively ending conflicts. Because all the parts are in place doesn't necessarily mean organization at a higher level. I also offer as evidence the growth of the use of contractors. Because we apparently can't put three guys in a rowboat for less than a million bucks. That's not organization, even if all uniforms are pressed to specification. The successes the military does enjoy are more a matter of literal brute force and a big budget rather than organized long term planning IMOP.
