It mostly doesn't matter if the military wants specialist systems, in the long run generalist systems tend to win in power and adaptability.

Some of this may be a misunderstanding of what modern militaries do, if they are shooting guns there's already been some level of failure. Massive amounts of war gaming, sentiment analysis, and propagandizing occur, see the RAND Corporation for more details on the military development of algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Yeah this makes sense. Maybe RAND publications will indeed give me some insight into my question.

But I also buy that there is a lot of overlap between military work and any other kind of white collar work, which LLMs are definitely useful (but not revolutionary) for.
