Didn't, but sure as hell gonna do so now
This is your friendly reminder to revisit Thomas Barnett's 2005 TED Talk about Leviathan Force and Sysadmin Force. It's 2025, and the US military is more Leviathan than ever while Sysadmin is still TBD.

All you need to know about why the US Military is generally the *worst* possible law enforcement option, foreign or domestic, is in this tidy TED Talk by Thomas Barnett in 2005.

Not answering your question, but wondering if I ever saw an 8" floppy used anywhere. Feels like that format was dominant for about two weeks in 1977 or something

Nah. The fight begins here. Capt. Spiers: "the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function—without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it"
