- HarryHirsch 4y agoNo, it's actually like in any tech giant - staff officers want postings that make them look good to earn a promotion. War over Taiwan will no one make look good and will not lead to promotions.
- throwanem 4y agoYeah, no kidding. One thing that could easily happen in a real fight between the US and China over Taiwan is the first combat loss of an American aircraft carrier since the Second World War. Which admiral do you think wants to risk ending up with the responsibility for that?
- HarryHirsch 4y agoThat fellow who suggested going to war is in military logistics, he is an Etappenschwein, not a Frontschwein, as Ernst Jünger would have said. If anyone won't see combat, that's him!
- LarryMullins 4y agoLook up how much American generals get paid, then tell me why any general would want to rock the boat with something so uncertain and dangerous to the status quo as a war.
