But, you know, actually my bigger concern is, is not just the personnel, it's whether intelligence is being incorporated into decision making for national security in general. You know, for example, There is 20 years worth of intelligence that indicates that Iran's response to kinetic attacks against it would be to close the Strait of Hormuz. There is more recent intelligence about Iran's drone and counter drone capabilities in that strait and its use of its Mosquito fleet. None of that was incorporated into, into planning for this war at the highest levels. (05:16–05:25)
