Bar Ran Dun posted:I found a very small part of it, not McKinsey, Pugh-Robert’s. This is really interesting, thanks for posting. Project Management for ship repair/construct has definitely come a long way since then. If you're a giant nerd that likes reading extra textbooks for fun, here's a link to Nasa's EVM handbook: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_schedule_management_hand_book.pdf - a chunk of it is a bit day to day operational related, but it's an excellent, free resource. And here's the 50,000 foot overview: https://www.nasa.gov/evm/tutorial I agree with the core assessment of that image and saw it unfold too many times - bad Project Managers intentionally under schedule labor and it causes a lotta issues. I do think the image is overly complex; we utilized discrete examples though had the benefit of EVM's project manager reserve already in place.

At least we’ve got our concentration camp practice in for next time.

Palladium posted:i'm absolutely shocked that a military would go dysfunctional when it exists for private profit This is what all colonial militaries exist to do. Colonial projects are only truly abandoned when the expenditures of maintaining power grow too costly for the home country to tolerate. Colonialists either have to be defeated outright (a Herculean struggle almost nobody can achieve) or defeated materially by making them lose more wealth than their cost of lives can justify. Reactionaries can't understand how we could lose a war like Vietnam where the material conditions overwhelmingly favored American forces. Their ideology makes them too sentimental. Every life lost is to them an incalculable value, so if we kill more of the enemy that means we're winning. If we kill enough of them that means they have to give up. But for the wretched of the Earth, death and misery are already facts of life inflicted upon them by the colonizer. The tragedies and indignities of empire are for them already too much to bear, and they will accept any cost if it means escaping this wretched condition. The simple fact is that empire is waged on a balance sheet. If there's no profit to be gained then it's pointless. There's no ideology or faith that could make America believe we should break the bank on behalf of a puppet government on the other side of the planet. Calling the communists monsters and terrorists is such a fat load. If they were monsters it's because the French & Americans made them that way. It's also true that some monsters are worse than others. Everywhere the forces of reaction have won out they did so through the implementation of absolute terror. The kind of sadism that, if people saw it in a comic book they'd call it pornographic and demand it be banned. That's the only option we have for "winning."

Didn't a newly-reunified Vietnam then go into Cambodia and gently caress up the Khmer Rouge shortly after? And win a war against China a year later? Yet Americans remain baffled that the US Army was beaten by a bunch of "impoverished rice farmers"

Milo and POTUS posted:The vietnamese have a military history that almost defies belief in its success They really do. The really lovely thing is that the US could have made an ally of Ho Chi Minh when he naively came asking for America's support for Viet independence, America said no because France, so Ho Chi Minh shopped around until he found a power that would help. Just turned out to be the Soviets instead of the Americans. Imagine if the NVA and Viet Cong had been allies instead of enemies to the US LOL. That war would have been over in less than a month.

There wouldn't have been a war then. Hypothetically, if the Americans accepted Ho Chi Minh's proposal then Vietnam would've been independent of France after WW2. No French-Indochina War, no American entry into the Vietnam war. The only potential snag is that the Viet Minh would've still embraced socialism and that was going to be a problem.
