You just triggered an old memory. Back when I was like 7 I remember watching some type of military debate on some type of public access thing, I think it was military historians and active duty guys talking about military communication over history interesting shit. Anyways something they say that's kinda stuck with me was the worry of degrading autonomy within the military due to ever increasing ever improving communication capabilities and how it may get to the point that units become effectively headless should communications be disrupted.

So what happens when leadership becomes reliant on AI tools and the data centers become inoperable? Because frankly that may be an actual worry sooner than later, or advantage depending on the longevity of the federal government.
