I really don't understand this. What does the Army gain by commissioning tech execs as reserve officers? Wouldn't it be far more effective to just hire their companies as contractors? Or commission high-level engineers as officers. A tech exec's skillet is running a company. Sure, offer commissions to their most skilled employees, but to the execs themselves, why?
Oh, this is just an effort of cementing further the Oligarchy, nothing else.
