This is what I got 5:5

Many of us thought that Shock and Awe would be how the movie played out. Although that may have well been the plan in the beginning the fact of the matter is that this evil has had centuries to entrench. To think that it could be routed and removed in a few short years is indeed shortsighted even with high tolerances for collateral damage.

It is a siege, starve it out. With enough time and pressure even the most hefty bulwark will succumb. If you choke off the lifeblood and the leadership dies off naturally it is an effective means. Still the education system, social engineering, and the media are churning out new drones by the thousands. Those drones are still infiltrating social positions and the fight goes on. I really like what JW has tried to do by promoting good people to replace the corrupt politicians. Disarm the Deep State!

What is being done at the operational layer on that?

Seems that not recruiting and or expanding at a physical level is is great security posture but it's not sustainable long term. Definitely not in line with the long term doctrine, having an army of digital soldiers is great but if we cannot replace the corrupt pipeline it's not going to do it. Maybe that's the plan just cut the head of the snek and ensure these corrupt organizations cannot continue to pull the strings. That the mid and lower tiers will sort themselves out.

I don't know but not sure if we will see that process complete in our lifetime.

>(although security is the essential prerequisite for success)

This is worthy of high marks. We all know, it should be acknowledged.

I just keep Trump's song in the back of my head: You cant always get what…

We wanted to do something to change the world for the better, found that here.
