Danger Room ran a piece today [LINK] describing the acquisition of a broadband wireless network for dismounted infantry as the U.S. Army’s “number one program going forward.” I understand the theoretical utility, but if there is one truism regarding digital data it is that the time saved thanks to ease of transmission are counterbalanced by time eaten up sifting through piles of transmissions.

Is anyone on the forum willing to argue that this is an unequivocally good idea?
