Phi Beta Iota:  Only  the Mexicans could out-do the US Air Force in Gorgon Stare foolishness.  This is a classic example of doing the wrong thing righter.  While C4I4 is clever (command, control, communications computing, intelligence, integration, information, invetigation) is also industrial-era thinking.  M4IS2 and the eight tribes, open source everything, are the new new thing, and since Western governments are not going to give up their delusion that they are governing, they will be the last to enjoy the benefits of hybrid governance that routes around governments and harmonizes outcomes on the basis of shared information.
