These qualities allow for a myriad of possibilities, and in the Department of Defense, there is a tendency toward inertia to mitigate risk. In Masks of War, Carl Builder extols the principle that technology created the USAF and the USAF tends to rely on technological solutions for its problems. However, even in an organization that embraces technology as a founding principle, the USAF…
