The US military engages in a lot of aid/relief work, this may help them better understand where that work will best be received and its benefit.

- rjf72 7y agoIs your comment meant to be sarcastic? If not, can you elaborate on why - of all possible options for the department who's primary purview in practice (in contemporary times) is the destabilization and/or destruction of other nations, you think this would be the most probable explanation for a mass scale analysis of 350 billion social media posts? If that message comes off abrasive it's only because I am genuinely confused, but would like to know where you're coming from. There's always a risk of us living in our little bubbles and so I make every effort to try to see things through the eyes of others, especially when I simply cannot otherwise empathize with their views on any level.
- itronitron 7y agoI wasn't being sarcastic, they care a lot about situational awareness so have an interest in 'checking the weather' local to their operations, whatever those may be.
- anthuman 7y ago"aid/relief work". Holy christ. That's the equivalent of someone saying the chinese communist party is putting ugyhurs in re-education camps as part of their universal education program. I'm guessing the US military is doing this for the same reason China, Russia, UK, etc militaries are doing it. To better manipulate and control domestic and foreign populations. To be better wage war against domestic and foreign populations.
