The wild thing to consider is how entirely fucked we are if we're actually attacked in our current state. It's clear the DoD is rudderless. So is our IC. Our military-industrial complex hasn't gotten the ketamine treatment yet, but that seems to be imminent.

The ketamine treatment?

Ketamine implies Musk which implies DOGE.

It’s a play on the rumours that Musk abuses his ketamine prescription. Note that I’m not advocating for the rumours. Merely explaining.

The person driving the destruction of the government services in the USA is apparently self identified as a heavy ketamine user.

I think they mean vastly reduced in size and scope by DOGE, since Mr Musk is apparently doing all of his government work in a state of ketamine induced mania.

There were some other guys that famously got a lot done on stimulants.

Yes, many people have and do take various drugs, though ketamine is a dissociatieve rather than a stimulant.

Musk takes so much ketamine that his mental abilities are clearly impaired, let alone his physical health(long term k use has a bunch of serious health issues).

Elon's ketamine abuse is well documented. He's also boasted about taking it.

I suspect they want that one to work while they do not want others to work. Military already got less qualified loyalists placed on leadership positions and experienced skilled people were let go.

But they won't do the mass firings designed to incapacitate it.

Pilots are among our most highly-trained warfighters. They have ample opportunity in industry. And they're smart. If SecDef is guiding counterfire to your takeoffs (and then finding himself unable to apologise for it) you will reconsider whether what you're doing is the best use of your life.

The explicit aim of DOGE was demotivation. That's exactly what this debacle has done.
