vastly overestimating the competence of the people
oh homey. tsk. you’ve mistaken ‘doing some planning’ for ‘competent planning’ and (critically) PREPARING for idaho to evaporate suddenly. Trust me, books of PLANS we have. Plans we have prepared for, prepositioning potato supplies, figuring out where we can outsource our hyperchristian conservative militia types - you know, idaho things - no, we haven’t done that. There’s planning, and there’s preparation. One requires a few flag grade officers to pontificate and argue, and some field grade officers to type for them.
The other requires logistical competence, funding, training, and careful analysis. We don’t do a lot of the other.
