“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

    So an interesting thing about the Israeli military, they empower all levels of the command chain to make decisions to complete the mission.

    It leads to this interesting situations where top leader can claim complete ignorance and the mission was completed.

    Look up the big brain little brain stuff.

      I’m interested to know what country you come from where this isn’t standard? Do you find that that lack of flexibility is culturally just in the military there or present in your countries government and corporate cultures as well?

      That’s standard in Western militaries. It means units aren’t paralyzed by unexpected circumstances while they wait for communication to go up and down the chain of command, and it improves resilience if communications or senior officers are incapacitated.
