It is obvious you can take the boy out of West Point, but you can't take West Point out of the boy.

The Vietnam references speak to this.

"The problem, however, is that the whole thing – from the 4,500 satellites to every single station on the ground – is at the mercy of one man, Elon Musk." When Starlink first appeared, it occurred to me that a civilian should not be allowed to own and control this kind of technology. And now we learn that in addition to being nuts, he's taking a drug that amps up grandiosity. Swell. Crazy appears to be in ascendance. Buckle up. (Though if Musk and Starlink become too much of a problem, I have little doubt that the CIA will solve it, if you receive my drift.)
