What a joke - they couldn't 'serve' their advisory roles without playing dress-up and commissioning directly as Lt Cols?

There is a long history of direct commission oficers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_commission_officer> in the military.

If you'd bothered to actually read the link I cited, you'd have seen that direct commissions occur during and outside of wartime.

The U.S. ruling class is at war with the citizenry and Silicon Valley is its vanguard.

It seems likely that the reason they've accepted these titles is because they believe that they will be given roles in which they have direct command authority, not just the role of advisor.

However, it also places them in Trump's direct chain of command as CinC. They might not have thought enough about that.

How exactly is the ruling class at war with the citizenry? If you're alluding to the LA deployments that seems to not be the citizenry since it's illegal immigrants.

It's right up there with the repeated mantra that Latino Trump voters who are now seeing themselves being deported en masse are regretting their vote. Such prattlers might study what they've said for hours without noticing the fallacy.
