The news of technology executives being sworn into the US Army Reserve raises concerns about the increasing entanglement of private corporations with military operations. While innovation and talent are valuable assets, there is a risk that the priorities of profit-driven companies could influence strategic decisions intended to protect national security interests and human lives. We must carefully scrutinize this initiative to ensure proper boundaries are maintained between industry and defense. The privatization of military affairs sets a troubling precedent that could further undermine democratic oversight and accountability. I urge you to exercise rigorous oversight of this program and consider potential conflicts of interest or undue corporate influence on matters of war and peace.
