What you’re suggesting is that we need data to improve. But we’ve had data. We knew long ago that many of the decisions around the war on terror were bad ones and/or justified with bad information. Even many veterans who served will tell you we had no business deploying people to some of those areas. Actionable data isn’t worth very much if you don’t act on it. What we need is accountability. I don’t know how you hold the decision makers behind the war accountable though.
