The U.S. defense system is structured in a rigid way that prevents innovation.

We can't change tactics because we're limited by our technology and the way our force is structured. You see, this is the problem. Also, we have a over, we have a $1 trillion basically defense budget. But one of the reasons it's so ridiculously expensive and yet it doesn't get the results we need against an enemy that should be easy to deal with like Iran is because the entire system is structured in a very rigid way. And the people who run it are not innovative thinkers because the people who reach the top of these bureaucracies in the Pentagon and in the intelligence community, these are political people. They are people who know how to play the DC game. So they're not going to be listening to people like me. And if they hear people like me, they're going to run me out of town, which is exactly what happened in my career in DC. They ran me out because I was considered too much of a red team or I was too much of a doomer. And so they don't want to hear it. So our system is very rigid and it is calcified.
