Funny you would mention "technology" since the first half hour wouldn't play on Revolution Radio but it's here, in full. And you say Alan's mic was shut off? I wonder who could have done that?
Odd comments disconnected from the story. Riper & Sabrosky have the right idea. If you're too dependent on gee whiz tech, you set yourself up for disaster.
Oh, and by the way, there is no still news in the US of the Yankee-Ziobeast attack on Russian bases in Syria.
I believe that Alan is being a little paranoid regarding his microphone.
I am a senior software engineer and I can say that device conflicts are fairly common no matter which operating system you use.
If Alan did any updates recently, they could have adjusted his settings without him realizing it.
As to the War Game Exercise he relates, this occurred around 2005. The US Forces were summarily defeated and the result was that the Pentagon refused to hire the OpFor Commander fir any other such exercises in the future.
The biggest problem with software is that it is extremely fragile. As a result, any minor glitch can cause major issues. And as software becomes more complex, the more fragile it becomes.
The result of this is that low-tech will always be able to defeat hi-tech. This is basically an axiom in the profession.
This was well demonstrated in the first few episodes of the last "Battlestar Galactica". In this respect, Commander Adama redeployed the older Viper fighters after finding that the latest versions were susceptible to Cylon jamming techniques. The older Viper fighters which were more analog than digital were then completely unaffected by Cylon ECW...
Kevin: I'm trying to find the second hour of Dr. Sabrosky's interview and its no where to be found. Any way.. where I've thought to look. Can you email it out? Thanks!
Right, the US, Israel, etc., all think they're pretty smart with all their technology....until someone pulls the plug. That's what war is about today....pulling the plug.
btw, why does China have a four-million man army? What's all that for?....
