Try to understand "the Fog of War."
Why did our "intelligence" agencies fail the nation (again)?
I think you are being kind....
The deep state has rendered the entire federal bungle incompetent.
Remember the early years of Afghanistan and Iraq our troops were having to buy their own body armor while the DLA (Defense logistics agency, had warehouses full of the real body armor?
FEMA/DHS/Intelligence/State/etc are ALL chartered with disaster prevention and remediation and they have all failed miserably on all counts. We have been paying trillions for National Security to include borders, internet, and medical and this event has highlighted just how unprepared we are.
I am not scared, I am angry as hell and I hope once this settles down there is hell to pay by every senior executive at every agency for dereliction of duty.
