Moving the Girls Out - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 It’s always easy to tell when an organization finally gets serious about something, because the first thing they do is eject the women in charge:

....This is interesting to me because it indicates that more than a year after the little drone-and-pony show at the White House, the US military has finally grasped the reality that 5GW > 3GW and that no amount of posturing can substitute for the combination of drones and the ability to manufacture large numbers of them.

The US military was so far behind the state of the military art that it still thought of Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Robotic and Autonomous Systems as being the perfect sort of makework job to park a diversity executive. But now that Iran has demonstrated that an effective drone force can negate the combined power of the USAF and the USN, everyone understands that this might be one of the most important responsibilities in the Navy.

I doubt it will make much difference, to be honest, because having a more decisive male decision-maker in the position isn’t much of a substitute for an effective mass-productive industrial sector. But the replacement of Ms Gassler is an indication that someone in authority now understands the strategic importance of robotic and autonomous systems.
