I've kept this side of my life off the internet intentionally for 15 years. It's been strange being a dual UA-camr/Missile Tester, because obviously this side of my life feels very important and the main driver for many of my life decisions. I'm more than just a person who makes videos and puts them on UA-cam, and I feel like I'm kind of introducing you to the other side of me with this video. I thought long and hard about putting this online after I was asked if I wanted to film my last mission. I ultimately decided to post this video to let you know that Multi-Domain Operations are real.... and you're in the cyber domain. I didn't understand the full extent of what the implications of this were until I dug into it more. Over the course of the next several videos we're going to explore these cyber issues in a very real way. I hope you'll explore this with me.
SmarterEveryDay, this is pretty fascinating to me. I’m studying for my Six Sigma Green Belt, and I recognize little things in quality control such as FMEA that you’re working on. Pretty neat to see BIG real life implementations of what I’m studying.
It's always good to strive for an easier, safer, and better option, but deep down every one of us know there has got to be one last wall to break before falling. And each of us want that. With great power, comes great responsibility. And you've been very responsible about it. And we're getting smarter about it too. And I hope every single one of us strive for a smarter and more responsible way for it. (by us, I mean, humans.)
I envy your brain and your life. Thanks for sharing this side of your life. It must be a complicated job. We're you close enough to hear those explosions? What's the heaviest missile have you ever saw exploding? (Moab? Foab?)
This video was both fascinating and ...honestly pretty unnerving too. I'll do my best to try to preserve unity! Thanks for opening up this side of your life for us.
This video is 3 years old at the time I'm watching it, and so much has happened in the last few years, but thank you for making this video Destin! I'm a soldier stationed in Kuwait right now and it makes me super happy knowing this channel exists and you have the influence to talk to high ranking people like that. Thanks Destin!
@@Gunbudder When you say his, as in one person, makes your assessment at claim of 99.999% highly unlikely, or rather closer to impossible. Your position wherein sharing with "checks and balances" that make for sources being more protected by numbers knowing ...would be insane to have such an asset in one person or even place of, let's say, storage on a disk...etc. "Hi, how are you?" and "Here is how I look so come kidnap me" concept should also be easily dismissed by understanding the "two key" concept in a sub. ...the football holder in regards to nuclear warfare intelligence...things like this. Knowing broad subject is this video and explanation of M.D.O. ...but there are specially trained people that can be part of the connectivity spoken about in case large battlefields or theaters with specialty find the need for emergency training or handling...but if those theaters or systems are rendered useless...you get the picture...it's even why we see not yet tested technologies, like new jets and the like, immediately before used on large theater operations.
@@misterwonderful8628 Bro, it seems like you understand the video pretty well, but you really need to work on getting the thoughts out of your head. Because what you wrote is largely incomprehensible.
"The art of disgreeing well." Well said sir. I agree completely that we, as a society, would greatly benefit from focusing on our agreements with each other rather than our disagreements.
That is unless what they agree on is erroneous and would lead to great destruction down the line. I think it's wiser to say ,"Disagree without taking things too personally to a point where discussion becomes impossible." Disagreement is a way for mankind to check their logic with others it's an ability to run counter ideas against initial ones so that the rate of failure is keep low in critical circumstances. All great leader have that skill in their tool box. People who cannot disagree in a peaceful manner are just not mature, and cannot lead.
@@kaesebrot649 Just curious, has the US ever dropped a warhead on Pakistan? I think you missed the point of the video, the objective is to not drop warheads on the wrong people...

@Bear Arms Don't think that matters. Just because Mr. Browning is no longer involved with the Browning company in any way invalidates the effectiveness and badassery of the BMG 50 cal.
It's amazing to revisit this interview with General Brown, and hear him talk about "Phase 0" with everything going on in the Ukraine this week. He called it play by play a year before it even happened.
By this time Russia had already done a trial run. They annexed Crimea in 2014 and it worked. Gen. Brown is talking about getting ahead of the curve though, we're behind but we'll be ahead.
That is what I thought why did this 4 star general offer all of this content to be made public? Prior to him saying it was a weapon, within itself. My first thought was recruitment. However I think there might be a different aspect to it that maybe we don't know or understand fully. Yet.....
@@richellepina1 A large problem the US Military has is they are largely divorced from your average American. Go back 50 years and everyone was related to or knew someone in the services. It's doing a lot of harm to recruitment numbers, manpower--so few people know there's more to the services than people carrying rifles, driving tanks, flying aircraft, or sailing boats.
The end of this video is a good reminder that being connected isn't the same thing as being unified. Technology can connect us but it takes concerted effort to be unified. Don't let social entropy get ya! -Dan
This is very true. We are dividing ourselves in this country and don't think for a minute our enemies aren't playing the card we have given them. We have the right as Americans to disagree but we must not divide.
Which almost makes you wonder if it would make sense for the military to provide social ettiquete / unification training as defense measure... I suppose that's generally what propaganda is, but I'm imagining this at an even more abstract level, i.e. rather than building unification on a single issue like "how scary communism is", more general "here's how to work with your neighbor even if you disagree" - though if it's too abstract I suppose it could be used by other nations against us...
Putin said he didn't do it, the CIA says he did. Lets side with Putin. That's division and no one can say they support America AND trump one or the other.
"If we extend patience and political grace not just to those people we like, but also to those with whom we disagree, these maneuvers in the cyber domain, meant to divide us, simply will not work." I love it. That's a great quote

@@597das I like that sentiment it reminds me of the saying, "at the end of the game the pawn and the king go in the same box" while that is all well and good, my concern is that as Americans we are deeply divided due to politics and I think we need to unify again.
@@anomasajeewani4754 That's exactly what I mean, the fact that they made it available to anybody generally means that those means are obsolete by now. In general the military is at least 10 years ahead of civilian technology.
It appears to be an overhead projector; you can see his arm block it when he's enumerating the domains. Granted, it's a pretty good overhead projector, to be displaying in very well-lit conditions. Even with enterprise-level small projectors you'll get a washed out image if the room is lit brightly enough to let a camera operate properly.
@@workman88 this is a common belief but also commonly dead wrong. Private sector companies develop military tech. But military tech is at least 10-20 years behind what’s available to the private sector. Military tech has to be battle hardened and excessively reliable. This alone means testing has to ensue for over a decade just to make it field ready. Virginia class submarines, the pinnacle of advanced submarine tech, are built with obsolete tech on board, like 30 year old obsolete tech. Then immediately after being commissioned are pulled into shipyard and “updated” with the “modern” tech, which is 10-20 years obsolete already. It’s a joke and a half to be honest. Just because it’s dressed up and looks pretty doesn’t mean it’s very advanced.
I've said for several years that what we are lacking today is the ability to disagree with one another...now we have a name for it..."Political Grace, the art of disagreeing well." THAT is gold! And I love the choice of the word grace (not getting what you do deserve). So often we are willing to write off someone's opinion because we judge it to be incorrect, and lately, we've started extending the write off to the individual as well. Maybe instead of asking "what's wrong with that person?" we could ask, "how can I disagree well with that person?" Thanks for an obviously very personal message, Destin. I enjoy all your videos and appreciate the work you put into them...but this may be my new favorite! (FWIW, my prior fav was lessons learned from interviewing the president...hhmmm...that one was also about disagreeing well...)
Yes! The video about interviewing the president introduced me the idea of how humans act very similarly to mathematical control systems and how important a negative feedback loop is to promote personal growth. I have subsequently mentioned this theory in all my interviews when questioned about how I respond to feedback (I also happen to work in the aerospace engineering field) and the interviewers have been blown away every time. Pretty sure it's the reason I get the jobs! So thanks Destin!
Hey @@richardstrum6606, awesome point! I'm familiar with Aumann's argument and at least as far as I understand it, it applies to single variable interpretations. Destin's point at the outset was that each of our worldviews is influenced by our perspective, kind of like the three blind men describing the elephant. Each of them was correct considering the limited perspective they had, yet all of them were incorrect when considering the full picture. So if we can agree that, given the full picture we should both come to the same conclusion, then maybe our take away should be that when we are in disagreement I should carefully consider both sides of the argument to ensure I'm seeing the full picture. A great way to practice that is to argue for something you disagree with, thus forcing you into more fully examining why someone would see things from a perspective different than your own.
@@EdwinWiles No disagreement here! My reply was tongue in cheek because the theorem's assumptions don't apply very well to real life, and it has become a tad cliche to bring it up. Besides, it only applies to factual disputes, not disputes over values, which are subjective and the substance of a lot of political arguments.
I mean Russia has an army of trolls on social media messing things up. I’d rather see America (and the world at large) have some defenses up, and greater awareness of the forces steering current events. So making a video such as this is hardly hypocritical... I mean, if someone’s trying to meddle in your affairs, you fight back.
He also has to follow laws that you and me never have to worry about on par with Holy See Laws. Military and national security laws are as strictly enforced as Holy See Law. Indeed, he is a bishop.
Your description of the cyber domain barely scratches the surface of how the domain is fully weaponized. But the psyops portion of what the cyber domain is being used for is spot on. Great video.
"Saruman believes that only great power can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - Gandalf
Says the powerful man with the tools and knowledge. Haha, I'll never overlook the impact that small acts of good can have in this world. But, it's even more foolish to think that even those things are not heavily influenced by power and force.
My favorite part of Lord of the Rings was the battle of Helm's Deep when Aragorn looked to the East at sunlight and saw that Gandalf had come back with small acts of kindness and love to save the day
Putting the "Torpedo/Missiles vs Ship" in the title made me think I was going to get a very different video than I did. This was a lot more about being thoughtful, about working together, about prevention than it was about "BIG THING GO BOOM!". ;-) thanks for the challenging ideas, Destin!
The FBI does have a 'Meme Warfare' division. They don't take this as a joke. They raided people's homes from the app 'Ifunny' back in the day. They bait people into agreeing to radicalize then a swat team kicks down their door and they are charged with terrorism. This happens all the time now. Which is where the meme, "fbi wants to know your location" came from.
The craziest part is there is anything, or even so much is ask a poignant question to somebody online, you're automatically accused of either being a troll or a Russian bot etc. Yet the same people somehow simultaneously acknowledge that there truly are people that are trying to create division, yet then they just yell at you. How can I be aware of a problem and then specifically actively carry out that directive?
@@harleyspeedthrust4013 Lol that is exactly what USA's enemies want, for Americans to be pointing at Americans as our enemies, and ignoring what China and Russia and Iran are doing.
19:33 is the best moment I’ve seen on the internet regarding leadership. Ever. The true measure of a leader is not how they can accomplish a task laid out before them with instructions, but instead that they can make a desired outcome happen, given the tools and training they have.
Thank you, Destin and General Brown. I just found this video now -- a video before its time in more ways than the title, and never more relevant than the past year, which is a year after you posted it. This changes everything!
"This type of conflict [i.e. in cyber domain] is based on deception, and the most important deception is to convince you that you're not at conflict." [25:58] --This quote is thought-provoking, and it's especially poignant given its sources.
very true and real. Our internet is constantly under attack from constantly growing new sources. It works well even under attack, so most people don't even consider we're under attack.
How many people noticed when the law making it illegal for a US government agency to produce propaganda intended to be directed at American citizens was repealed? Spend a little time thinking about that in context.
Wake up America, the MIC "DEEP STATE" has been using IIA deception on Americans ever since Obama took office? Do some research and you will find this all started way back during the Regan administration when the military decided it would be an awesome idea to create a massive surveillance system of American citizens. There was the usual Congressional hearings decrying this blatant attempt against American privacy so they held fake hearings and pretended the projects were dismantled. Instead they simply moved the projects to civilian control managed by retired military personnel thus spawning Google & Facebook and a host of other "Social Apps" we now depend on for as our PUBLIC FORUM. Do not for a minute think that the current capabilities of NSA and other massive covert and overt surveillance systems are under control by Congress. We are at a major crossroad in our Republic? On one side we have the DEEP STATE which has completely corrupted every government agency you can think of. On the other side are the OUTSIDERS like POTUS who is trying to at least slow it down until he can make the necessary changes to undo some of the damage. However I think eventually it will all end when the brainwashed current K12 generation with Marxist Communist ideology takes the reins of power. At that point we can assume the complete destruction of our Republic will be irreversable...
I didnt know my father was an aerospace engineer with a Top Secret Clearance with Lockheed Martin (Now Retired) until I was 17 years old. Now I have since learned about his projects.
Of all of your videos that I've watched - and I''m a relatively new subscriber (and Patreon supporter), but I am catching up quickly - this is by far my most favorite video. I will be sharing this one with many, many people, and I hope they become subscribers and supporters, too!
Before 21:27 I was thinking to myself that the only reason the General would even consider sharing this sort of information, is purely to display the power of our military. Just the way he speaks you can tell how he's always ahead of the curve and reaching out to Destin just proves that fact. Bravo.
@Data Lol the US has won literally dozens of wars, I think maybe almost a hundred (most of them the US defending themselves in it's infancy) despite being so young. The USA and it's people naturally are easily the most powerful nation in history.
Dude. Our military surpasses most if not all, and thats being very pessimistic. To have the knowledge that these domains exist does not matter when opposing countries dont have the money and/or ability to fight wars in other domains. The few countries that are knowledgeable and rich enough are probably intelligent enough to rely on diplomacy.
It's an unusual situation. It takes a very vigorous winnowing process. And yes- it's a very satisfying experience to work at a problem with dedicated and motivated team of individuals of complamery talents. The results and the speed of such collaboration can be amazing !!!!
Destin, you are one of the most intellectual persons I have come across on the vast expanse of the internet. As a non-American, I find it hard to believe that people like you are not more in charge of the actual decisions that your country makes. You have made me smarter with each of your videos that I consume. You make me want to be a better person, and use my brain, knowledge, experience and passion to improve the existence of the human race. Keep it going brother!!!
As a 2nd LT in the Army NG, I just want to say thanks for a very educational video. Helped me understand how my platoon fits in the broader scheme of the us military.
You do understand the purpose of the National Guard right? We go and help with natural disasters, keep shelters safe, assist FEMA, help control looting and riots. I guess we should just leave those people to die since we're all "the big bad military." Not like Army scientists invented GPS, cellular communications, or even the first version of the internet.
I'm beyond my ability to express how cool and educational this piece of "video weaponry" has turned out to be! Total respect to the wisdom of the seasoned army general and thanks a bunch to Destin for the unique opportunity to peek into a part of the "Big Boys" game! Keep fighting the good fight! Peace and much respect from Kazan, Russia!
This is one of the most important video that I’ve ever seen. It will be exhilarating to see how you show the world how to be smarter every day. I need think about this a lot more. That you shared what has been important and with literally different perspectives -well it is an honor to learn and a blessing to laugh.
i don't know, I've seen a lot of comments about it. It seems weird to me that the audience of a science channel such as this one wouldn't know about that technology, it's been around for years ! I've seen other science channels on youtube covering it, and explaining how it works.
26:00 "Proactive, intentional unity" [...] "extend patience and political grace" [...] "... the art of disagreeing well." Well said... no matter what side of the aisle you're on.
If only the slaves had debated their masters into freeing them, we could have avoided the Civil War. Right? When two opposing interests want opposite things, debate is a distraction. Go respectfully debate your boss when it's easier for him to replace you than give you a raise. We don't all want what's best for each other. Sometimes the game is zero-sum, and one side is good, and one side is bad, and the matter is solved not by debate but by raw power and leverage. We have militaries for this very reason, but when the working class at home wants something suddenly all we hear is "unity," "dialog," "civility."
@@kevinmathewson4272 debate is infective ig at least one side is not open to the other sides perspective and information, that is a social issue that is typically best resolved through social means
I myself am in the military and watching this helps just a little bit better to connect and create the big picture of everything. Amazing video and greatly appreciate what you have done both as DOD employee and as a UA-camr. Keep up the good work and expect to see many more amazing and impactful videos from you in the future!
I didn’t think that I would absolutely admire this general! He is a really respectable guy. He explained everything in a meticulous way that I had to pay more attention to it and understand it. It also helps that it’s fascinating stuff to me.
27 minutes mark and a year later we couldn’t have guessed how important a video like this would be. Division is being pushed but we need the unity and we can fight back
October '20 and the politicians brag about "working across the aisle". Then they will vote along party lines. How can you tell when they're lying? They say something.
4 Star Generals are the highest meaningful generals there are. A 5 star General is technically a rank, but it's more like a job than an actual change in authority. Like the "difference" between a First Sergeant and an E-7/8/9. I mean, I guess there IS some change in authority, maybe the comparison to a (AF) Chief Master Sergeant and a Command Chief Master Sergeant is more appropriate. @ckatm397 10/10, that is a perfect response. Michelin star quality snark right there.
Worthy of note: That General with "merely" 4 stars has his own wikipedia article. I don't think I ever heard of, or met a 4 Star that didn't, and the metric I used while I was active to discern the level of impressiveness of Colonels and 1 stars and 2 stars, is whether or not that particular officer had a wiki article. If they do, then they've had a large enough impact to merit one.
iwantitpaintedblack the rank of 5 star general was only created for World War II and the tank was officially retired in 1981. There are no 5 stars left

Destin, I've been a faithful subscriber for many years but I've never commented on a video before. I believe you make a very good point about the potential and real threat of disunity through the internet domain. Therefore I want to reach out in agreement that grace and unity as Americans should transcend our disagreements! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and hope we all do our part to extend grace to others. Keep fighting the good fight brother!
thanks Jaegarharper, I am hoping for a day where we can post an honest opinion online without kneejerk hatred being spewed our way. For instance, pertinent to this video, IMO, the US overspends on military and could divert some of the more ridiculous spending towards fossil fuel independence. This would defuse some conflicts as well.
@@kenpevahouse2154 I once sat on a flight next to a retired nuclear researcher with Lawrence Livermore Labs. I was headed to San Francisco for a training course. At the time, 90 billion had just been approved for Iraq military expenditure for one year, roughly a year after the invasion. When I mentioned this idea of spending on research such as fusion being a better choice than Iraq, her response was "you're going to like it in California", and we never spoke any further.
Perhaps--no, without a doubt--the most important video I have watched in a very long time. Particularly the last few minutes. Political grace, yes, we all need to get Smarter Every Day. Thank you.
@Bobby Fisher The lack of "Political Grace", as described so eloquently by Destin in this video, is precisely the most important issue facing Americans today. If we go on as we have been, attacking each other simply for stating a point of view, without reasoned discourse and at least a minimum of mutual respect--which, sadly, you have demonstrated so vividly--then the social contract will be broken and civil strife, if not civil war, will be the outcome. This is just my opinion. I have others, but political grace prevents me from airing them here.
This was a really interesting time for this video be recommended to me by youtube. Always love your videos, and always look forward to being smarter everyday
The stability and accuracy of that mini gun is amazing! And did anyone see that bullet from the Bradley doing a loop after ricocheting off the ground??!
That's not the actual bullet, but the phosphorus tail of a tracer round breaking off. Tracers tend to light everything around on fire too with all the bits of burning phosphorus flying around.
truth be told, nothing against this 4 star general as i know nothing of him personally, but a lot of the prominent generals and leaders in the military are not the best leaders, they simply LOOK like the best leaders.. but they themselves dont do the thinking, they just relay it.. there just figureheads.. but that is needed as well, because face it.. with the human psyche, would a strong, youthful soldier follow the order of a strong looking, battle scarred leader as well as a physically weak, squirly looking guy? sadly, no, even if that squirly looking guy is a military genius. (im not saying the soldier wouldnt follow the order from the squirly guy, im saying he wouldnt follow it with the same level of confidence, and that would alter the effectiveness of the soldier)
He has the same persona of every general I have ever encountered. I have met a bunch of colonels who had different personalities, but, it seems, there is a filter going up to the general ranks that selects for these characters.
@@Snuschips I'm inclined to agree. Arrogance is the last thing you'd want in your military generals, it would only lead to overconfidence and underestimation of potential threats.
This video is impressive. I saw it the day when it was released and I found it illuminating. The cyber and human domains (Social Networking Services, fake news, polarization, social tensions, the social, political and economic destabilization...) is becoming more and more obvious. Year and a half after it's clear that the topics in this video are more important than ever. The whole world is under an invisible war in the cyber and human domains.
Less people are dying? Maybe compared to world wars. But we still invade countries all the time to murder hundreds of thousands at minimum and ruin countless lives. If we kill less it is only so more of the workforce survives to be exploited by an imperialist, capitalist society. The idea of "cyberwarfare" and, as you said, machine casualties, only distracts from the very real human cost of war. Not to say that you aren't right, but it also leaves a false impression of human casualties not being as much of an issue.
@Akin Khoo He means he just intended it as an amusing joke. I don't think he was looking for anyone shift the lighthearted joke into serious discussion. There's plenty of it in other comments.
Political Grace, so we'll stated! This video is more important today than when you created it. Our greatest threat is probably the division that is increasing our nation ideologically. Thank you for the reminder that our strength stands in unity. Let us all live the golden rule.
that explanation by General Brown just blew my mind, the potential to apply these principles into everyday life is immense. the video isn't a weapon - it shows that people can work together regardless of their differences.
I love this quote, it makes so much sense looking back over 2020, "Political Grace, the art of disagreeing well." Thank you Destin for your wonderful insight! My 11 year old granddaughter was listening to this and I joined in near the end. How interesting that you caught even an 11 year olds mind to think about these things.
@@snoden9907 nowhere in this video did Destin exhibit *bias,* denigrating the capabilities of Russia and China. He successfully demonstrate that US capabilities are awesome, but that doesn't mean bias.
The olden day equivalent are those that thought of dropping propaganda pamphlets on the enemy by plane. Basically trolls employed to push the buttons of the enemy.
@Jimmy Rustle No need to enlist, it wouldn't be any different practically anyway. Just pick a cause you're passionate about and shitpost away in a manner that furthers said cause.
Finally, a normal person on the net. We need more people like you. You're vocabulary alone has teeth. Keep doing what you're doing. You're supposed to be there.
As a prior service Marine and now a civ in the military, still serving the United States, I feel like this kind of stuff needs to be put out more. I know alot of the individuals i work with that would be more motivated if it actually felt like they were all apart of the fight and defense of this great country, regardless if you put cammies or a collared shirt on in the morning. Being in the office and checking emails is a far cry from where i was before, but for 80% of the ppl i work with, there is always this separation. I remember when the SgtMaj came in earlier this year and said we are all apart of the defense of this county and of this world. It doesn't matter your rank, branch, or job. We're all apart of the bigger picture and we're all making a difference. I love this video, definitely my favorite so far.
You said it perfectly Destin, "The biggest threat right now is division." How much more relevant does this video seem now. I truly believe that if America does not get its sense of unity back, the spirit of unity and american pride we had back in WW1 and WW2, then we will crumble from within. Thank you Destin and General Brown for drawing our attention to the new domains of battle. This video is like a a security alarm, it lets us know the enemy is in our house, but we have to get out of bed and handle it ourselves.
@@PatrickBenoit10 Yep, and when over 90% of the media outlets in our country are owned by just 6 companies. You can imagine how easy it is to decide what the country will and won't hear in their news. I'm sure foreign attacks like this don't just come through internet videos, it also comes through media. Absolutely.
@@PatrickBenoit10 The real problem is people aren't taught how to vet sources. Small, independant and hyperpartisan tabloids/blogs are just as terrible as the big cancers like CNN and Fox. The most boring sources are usually the most credible, like Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, but people don't want to read anything that doesn't consistently support their "side".
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy A large part is unwillingness to compromise or trying to understand one another. People are pulling further and further apart. Politics has been becoming more and more authoritarian right for decades and decades. Now, it's become you're either extreme authoritarian right, or you're against it. There can't be compromise when even the middle ground is at such an absolute extreme. There's no wiggle room for compromise. It got there from compromise after compromise not being fair between the two sides, but rather slightly favoring one side over the other. Time and time again over a very long time. I honestly don't know how to resolve that. Theoretically I do, but practically I don't. People want to compromise, but there's no room to do that anymore. Even most of the people in the comments section here are claiming that it's this issue or that, all while actually showing that they see other Americans as the problem, treating others almost as if they're the ones who should be stamped out, instead of the misinformation and misunderstanding. It's an "us vs them" mentality between fellow Americans, as Destin mentioned in his own video. The comments section are immediately turning to that, even if they don't say it directly.
scatterfull They are actually quite boring. It‘s just measuring what level the sand is in a certain spot and then project a certain color onto that spot. It‘s nice, but doesn‘t really have any military application in that state.
You actually have to shape the battlefield in the sand- the sand is scanned - then the projector is outlining the battlefield with tactical markers, no magic involved :/
Needs more powerpoint. How you managed to have a meeting with an army general without a powerpoint presentation being involved I'll never know. ...I guess their projector was busy making that cool sandpit thing.
@@Meyour67120 cheaper to shoot something you have and don't need any more, than it is to make a new target when you need it. Also clears out storage space, and storing things costs money. Now, they could also recycle the ship. That's a good chunk of metal plus other resources than just sank into the pacific. I can't answer why they chose to sink it rather than recycle it.
@@tadferd4340 Must be cheaper I guess. Also it helps the environment when you sink boats, because it provides a shelter for sea animals. There's sometimes partnership between small coastal cities and the Navy for having a boat sunk so the sea wildlife improve and therefore the revenue for the city (through fishing, tourism)...
I had no idea. The first video I watched of yours was about pulleys. I thought you were some country bumkin with a little bit of smarts. Goofy and good natured. Maybe a science teacher at a local school. I've since come to realize from watching all of your videos that you were way more than that. This video was a total game changer for me. I've subscribed and liked every video you've made. Because of this particular video, I don't want to hit the "like" button, but rather smash the "love" button. You are an amazing human being. Thank you for all you do.

looking back at this video you nailed the outro of this video. as a canadian i will say to you im glad you were in the service you were doing what you did saved lives. but the cyber division and social media creating division is so real and its incredible that the difference from 2019 to 2022 is insane.
@INERT Eh, from what I can gather, there are plenty of memes in Chinese Internet communities as well. It's just that said communities are fairly insular, thus not many people outside China knows about it. Me? I am not in those communities, so I don't know much about it. There are plenty of researchers that knows more.

@@Obbliteration Don't keep us hanging! Link? I wondered if it was just a prop that was supposed to look awesome on camera, for disinformation purposes.
First off I’d like to say I really enjoy your channel, and so I saw this video last night and during the middle of it you interviewed General Brown. That was pretty cool for multiple reasons one being the access you were allowed but secondly was he was my Brigade commander at Fort Lewis at the 1st Stryker brigade and during our deployment. Pretty cool.
I'm over 60 years old and I was in the Army and the Navy a long time ago . At the beginning of the video > The minute you said you were suddenly allowed to film / interview / publish - I knew it was done for the purpose of being a warning / deterent to adversaries .
@@RiggingDoctor General Brown retired on the 1st November, after spending over 38 years in the military. He's an exceptional man, hopefully his wisdom has been imparted in the proper areas.
So, what you're saying is that you've got a carpenter, a plumber and an electrician - and you need to build a house. Previously, the plumper could only provide solutions that involves pipes, the carpeter could only solve issues with wood and the electrician could only wire things up, but now, you're adding a layer of abstraction to any problem so that all of them step back, identify the issue and decide which mix of skills can most appropriately resolve it; the carpenter can use the electrician and plumber to provide an optimised, multi-skilled solution that's more effective.
@@oicangidos Yes but when everyone has the ability to lead and the competence to follow when there is already a leader, that is when you have an unstoppable force
Nice concept except it won't work. The codes inspector will fubar everything and then the carpenter will blame the electrician and the plumber will get pissed and take 3 months to finish the job. Yep, just like the military and government, never their fault.
@@mumbles005 If its used correctly you can probably mitigate the issues like we do when we use a normal projector for presenting: have a laser to point and have animations/computer control to do everything else. To your point though, its clear it wouldn't be used outside of an "office" i.e not in a tent in a warzone.
Sand Tables have a LOOOONG history in the military, but that was completely cool the way that worked. I'm betting they could put military units on that and put them in motion as part of their battle planning. When I was in the Army back in the 80s we used little plastic miniatures.

As someone who spent 23 years in the Infantry to include a tour in Iraq. The majority of my career in a BFV. Never been able to meet any of you guys but thank you. It's nice to know that people extensively and continually test systems needed to keep us alive and help us complete the mission. You ever end up in my neck of the woods I'll buy ya a beer.
Thank you for doing hard and dangerous things on behalf of those who could not. I would rather live in a world where conflict is never necessary, but since we don't I'm grateful for the men and women like you who carry the big stick.
There's only one solution... Better education. The main problem with bad influence of people is not necessarily what domain it happens in, but the intelligence and knowledge of the people involved. It's never going to be perfect. Mental illness, corruption, religious conflict and other such imperfections of the human civilization will always be a problem. But to minimize it, the world simply has to get smarter. And it should start with a serious improvement to the education system.
I would say its not exactly education per say, but society and culture its the way we influence and tell our children etc about the world, about other people, etc because education is mainly just academics and academics dont breed common sense, How often have we seen people far smarter than us fall for the same silly traps that would make them dumb or foolish to you? I bet its far too many times. So this problem is much bigger than education
Well, we have to vote for Sanders. He's the only candidate who wants to educate the working class. The rest want dumb under paid slaves so they can destroy democracy once and for all.
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA I understand what you mean and do agree. But certainly in the UK, school education is not just academia. We are taught about society and culture and British values and learn how to debate and construct arguments. We are also taught about equality and diversity of people along with thought experiments and other methods to encourage young minds to develop a good sense of themselves, common sense abilities, and a clearer view of the world they live in. I'm not for one second saying the system is perfect but the younger generation will be much better off. But still there's always more to be improved. Older generations were taught differently and have outdated values.
Education is a product of that cyber domain. By planting ideas into whole generations through control of education, you can cause widespread social damage and cause countries to collapse without firing a missile. The only countermeasure would be to completely strip politics out from the schools and universities, to boil out rabble and leave behind a clearer basis on fact and reason. Education is very clearly under a firm grip by the left, and it's causing massive social damage.
Wow Dustin, I had no idea you had such an impressive and important job. Thank you for serving your country and all of us ! And thank you to all the servicemen and women in this video !

I've kept this side of my life off the internet intentionally for 15 years. It's been strange being a dual UA-camr/Missile Tester, because obviously this side of my life feels very important and the main driver for many of my life decisions. I'm more than just a person who makes videos and puts them on UA-cam, and I feel like I'm kind of introducing you to the other side of me with this video. I thought long and hard about putting this online after I was asked if I wanted to film my last mission. I ultimately decided to post this video to let you know that Multi-Domain Operations are real.... and you're in the cyber domain. I didn't understand the full extent of what the implications of this were until I dug into it more. Over the course of the next several videos we're going to explore these cyber issues in a very real way. I hope you'll explore this with me.

"The art of disgreeing well." Well said sir. I agree completely that we, as a society, would greatly benefit from focusing on our agreements with each other rather than our disagreements.
As Lord Nelson was supposed to have said to two squabbling junior officers while pointing to some distant forest of masts "the enemy is over there."
That is unless what they agree on is erroneous and would lead to great destruction down the line. I think it's wiser to say ,"Disagree without taking things too personally to a point where discussion becomes impossible." Disagreement is a way for mankind to check their logic with others it's an ability to run counter ideas against initial ones so that the rate of failure is keep low in critical circumstances. All great leader have that skill in their tool box. People who cannot disagree in a peaceful manner are just not mature, and cannot lead.

This video aged well
Operation Fulcrum. I love it and I love my country for sharing this information with us.
And the part about divisiveness was on the money
By this time Russia had already done a trial run. They annexed Crimea in 2014 and it worked. Gen. Brown is talking about getting ahead of the curve though, we're behind but we'll be ahead.
There’s a reason the USA is a military powerhouse….
I appreciate the honesty, I really do. "Is this video a weapon?" "Yes"
That is what I thought why did this 4 star general offer all of this content to be made public? Prior to him saying it was a weapon, within itself.
My first thought was recruitment. However I think there might be a different aspect to it that maybe we don't know or understand fully. Yet.....
@@richellepina1 A large problem the US Military has is they are largely divorced from your average American. Go back 50 years and everyone was related to or knew someone in the services. It's doing a lot of harm to recruitment numbers, manpower--so few people know there's more to the services than people carrying rifles, driving tanks, flying aircraft, or sailing boats.
Well, watching this video kind of makes you less likely to attack USA. So it would represent a defensive cyber weapon.

The end of this video is a good reminder that being connected isn't the same thing as being unified. Technology can connect us but it takes concerted effort to be unified. Don't let social entropy get ya! -Dan
This is very true. We are dividing ourselves in this country and don't think for a minute our enemies aren't playing the card we have given them. We have the right as Americans to disagree but we must not divide.
Which almost makes you wonder if it would make sense for the military to provide social ettiquete / unification training as defense measure... I suppose that's generally what propaganda is, but I'm imagining this at an even more abstract level, i.e. rather than building unification on a single issue like "how scary communism is", more general "here's how to work with your neighbor even if you disagree" - though if it's too abstract I suppose it could be used by other nations against us...
Empower the public. Sheep no more.
Putin said he didn't do it, the CIA says he did. Lets side with Putin. That's division and no one can say they support America AND trump one or the other.
"If we extend patience and political grace not just to those people we like, but also to those with whom we disagree, these maneuvers in the cyber domain, meant to divide us, simply will not work." I love it. That's a great quote

@@romxxii I think the cool bit is that the OHT can sense what depth the sand is at and change the image that it's projecting to show the hypsography.
@@workman88 this is a common belief but also commonly dead wrong. Private sector companies develop military tech. But military tech is at least 10-20 years behind what’s available to the private sector. Military tech has to be battle hardened and excessively reliable. This alone means testing has to ensue for over a decade just to make it field ready.
Virginia class submarines, the pinnacle of advanced submarine tech, are built with obsolete tech on board, like 30 year old obsolete tech. Then immediately after being commissioned are pulled into shipyard and “updated” with the “modern” tech, which is 10-20 years obsolete already.
It’s a joke and a half to be honest. Just because it’s dressed up and looks pretty doesn’t mean it’s very advanced.
I've said for several years that what we are lacking today is the ability to disagree with one another...now we have a name for it..."Political Grace, the art of disagreeing well." THAT is gold! And I love the choice of the word grace (not getting what you do deserve). So often we are willing to write off someone's opinion because we judge it to be incorrect, and lately, we've started extending the write off to the individual as well. Maybe instead of asking "what's wrong with that person?" we could ask, "how can I disagree well with that person?"
Thanks for an obviously very personal message, Destin. I enjoy all your videos and appreciate the work you put into them...but this may be my new favorite! (FWIW, my prior fav was lessons learned from interviewing the president...hhmmm...that one was also about disagreeing well...)
But Aumann's agreement theorem says that we can't be rational and agree to disagree!
Yes! The video about interviewing the president introduced me the idea of how humans act very similarly to mathematical control systems and how important a negative feedback loop is to promote personal growth.
I have subsequently mentioned this theory in all my interviews when questioned about how I respond to feedback (I also happen to work in the aerospace engineering field) and the interviewers have been blown away every time. Pretty sure it's the reason I get the jobs!
So thanks Destin!
Hey @@richardstrum6606, awesome point! I'm familiar with Aumann's argument and at least as far as I understand it, it applies to single variable interpretations. Destin's point at the outset was that each of our worldviews is influenced by our perspective, kind of like the three blind men describing the elephant. Each of them was correct considering the limited perspective they had, yet all of them were incorrect when considering the full picture.
So if we can agree that, given the full picture we should both come to the same conclusion, then maybe our take away should be that when we are in disagreement I should carefully consider both sides of the argument to ensure I'm seeing the full picture. A great way to practice that is to argue for something you disagree with, thus forcing you into more fully examining why someone would see things from a perspective different than your own.
Hey @@MohammadTaher, yep, I quote and link to that video a lot! It's been my fav since it first came out!
@@EdwinWiles No disagreement here! My reply was tongue in cheek because the theorem's assumptions don't apply very well to real life, and it has become a tad cliche to bring it up. Besides, it only applies to factual disputes, not disputes over values, which are subjective and the substance of a lot of political arguments.

Matthew Wolfgang Excellent point! Thanks for suggesting it as food for thought. It's worth hearing again.
very true and real. Our internet is constantly under attack from constantly growing new sources. It works well even under attack, so most people don't even consider we're under attack.
weve been at conflict for at least 4 years now and sadly a lot of americans are choosing the wrong side
How many people noticed when the law making it illegal for a US government agency to produce propaganda intended to be directed at American citizens was repealed? Spend a little time thinking about that in context.
Wake up America, the MIC "DEEP STATE" has been using IIA deception on Americans ever since Obama took office? Do some research and you will find this all started way back during the Regan administration when the military decided it would be an awesome idea to create a massive surveillance system of American citizens. There was the usual Congressional hearings decrying this blatant attempt against American privacy so they held fake hearings and pretended the projects were dismantled. Instead they simply moved the projects to civilian control managed by retired military personnel thus spawning Google & Facebook and a host of other "Social Apps" we now depend on for as our PUBLIC FORUM. Do not for a minute think that the current capabilities of NSA and other massive covert and overt surveillance systems are under control by Congress. We are at a major crossroad in our Republic? On one side we have the DEEP STATE which has completely corrupted every government agency you can think of. On the other side are the OUTSIDERS like POTUS who is trying to at least slow it down until he can make the necessary changes to undo some of the damage. However I think eventually it will all end when the brainwashed current K12 generation with Marxist Communist ideology takes the reins of power. At that point we can assume the complete destruction of our Republic will be irreversable...

This is one of the most important video that I’ve ever seen. It will be exhilarating to see how you show the world how to be smarter every day. I need think about this a lot more. That you shared what has been important and with literally different perspectives -well it is an honor to learn and a blessing to laugh.

i don't know, I've seen a lot of comments about it. It seems weird to me that the audience of a science channel such as this one wouldn't know about that technology, it's been around for years ! I've seen other science channels on youtube covering it, and explaining how it works.

Unity the one concept no great nation in history managed to maintain.
Might be united for sometime, but in the end, they always end up divided.
If only the slaves had debated their masters into freeing them, we could have avoided the Civil War. Right? When two opposing interests want opposite things, debate is a distraction. Go respectfully debate your boss when it's easier for him to replace you than give you a raise. We don't all want what's best for each other. Sometimes the game is zero-sum, and one side is good, and one side is bad, and the matter is solved not by debate but by raw power and leverage. We have militaries for this very reason, but when the working class at home wants something suddenly all we hear is "unity," "dialog," "civility."
@@kevinmathewson4272 debate is infective ig at least one side is not open to the other sides perspective and information, that is a social issue that is typically best resolved through social means
I myself am in the military and watching this helps just a little bit better to connect and create the big picture of everything. Amazing video and greatly appreciate what you have done both as DOD employee and as a UA-camr. Keep up the good work and expect to see many more amazing and impactful videos from you in the future!
I didn’t think that I would absolutely admire this general! He is a really respectable guy. He explained everything in a meticulous way that I had to pay more attention to it and understand it. It also helps that it’s fascinating stuff to me.

There are only 41 full generals active and he’s one of 14 in the Army. Guy is kind of a big deal.
meh just a 4 star, gimme a 5 star general
@@iwantitpaintedblack Call me when he interviews a Michelin star general.
4 Star Generals are the highest meaningful generals there are. A 5 star General is technically a rank, but it's more like a job than an actual change in authority. Like the "difference" between a First Sergeant and an E-7/8/9. I mean, I guess there IS some change in authority, maybe the comparison to a (AF) Chief Master Sergeant and a Command Chief Master Sergeant is more appropriate.
@ckatm397 10/10, that is a perfect response. Michelin star quality snark right there.
Worthy of note: That General with "merely" 4 stars has his own wikipedia article. I don't think I ever heard of, or met a 4 Star that didn't, and the metric I used while I was active to discern the level of impressiveness of Colonels and 1 stars and 2 stars, is whether or not that particular officer had a wiki article. If they do, then they've had a large enough impact to merit one.
iwantitpaintedblack the rank of 5 star general was only created for World War II and the tank was officially retired in 1981. There are no 5 stars left

Destin, I've been a faithful subscriber for many years but I've never commented on a video before. I believe you make a very good point about the potential and real threat of disunity through the internet domain. Therefore I want to reach out in agreement that grace and unity as Americans should transcend our disagreements! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and hope we all do our part to extend grace to others. Keep fighting the good fight brother!
thanks Jaegarharper, I am hoping for a day where we can post an honest opinion online without kneejerk hatred being spewed our way. For instance, pertinent to this video, IMO, the US overspends on military and could divert some of the more ridiculous spending towards fossil fuel independence. This would defuse some conflicts as well.
@@kenpevahouse2154 I once sat on a flight next to a retired nuclear researcher with Lawrence Livermore Labs. I was headed to San Francisco for a training course. At the time, 90 billion had just been approved for Iraq military expenditure for one year, roughly a year after the invasion. When I mentioned this idea of spending on research such as fusion being a better choice than Iraq, her response was "you're going to like it in California", and we never spoke any further.

Perhaps--no, without a doubt--the most important video I have watched in a very long time. Particularly the last few minutes. Political grace, yes, we all need to get Smarter Every Day.
Thank you.
@Bobby Fisher The lack of "Political Grace", as described so eloquently by Destin in this video, is precisely the most important issue facing Americans today. If we go on as we have been, attacking each other simply for stating a point of view, without reasoned discourse and at least a minimum of mutual respect--which, sadly, you have demonstrated so vividly--then the social contract will be broken and civil strife, if not civil war, will be the outcome. This is just my opinion. I have others, but political grace prevents me from airing them here.
Robert Ruork don't listen to that negativity. He doesn't have a clue.
Amen brother!

He has the perfect US General look and voice.
That look and voice is a WeApPon! wink wink!
truth be told, nothing against this 4 star general as i know nothing of him personally, but a lot of the prominent generals and leaders in the military are not the best leaders, they simply LOOK like the best leaders.. but they themselves dont do the thinking, they just relay it.. there just figureheads.. but that is needed as well, because face it.. with the human psyche, would a strong, youthful soldier follow the order of a strong looking, battle scarred leader as well as a physically weak, squirly looking guy? sadly, no, even if that squirly looking guy is a military genius. (im not saying the soldier wouldnt follow the order from the squirly guy, im saying he wouldnt follow it with the same level of confidence, and that would alter the effectiveness of the soldier)
Arrogant,
that word came to my mind when I was listening to him.
He has the same persona of every general I have ever encountered. I have met a bunch of colonels who had different personalities, but, it seems, there is a filter going up to the general ranks that selects for these characters.
@@Snuschips I'm inclined to agree. Arrogance is the last thing you'd want in your military generals, it would only lead to overconfidence and underestimation of potential threats.

Less people are dying? Maybe compared to world wars. But we still invade countries all the time to murder hundreds of thousands at minimum and ruin countless lives.
If we kill less it is only so more of the workforce survives to be exploited by an imperialist, capitalist society.
The idea of "cyberwarfare" and, as you said, machine casualties, only distracts from the very real human cost of war. Not to say that you aren't right, but it also leaves a false impression of human casualties not being as much of an issue.

As a prior service Marine and now a civ in the military, still serving the United States, I feel like this kind of stuff needs to be put out more. I know alot of the individuals i work with that would be more motivated if it actually felt like they were all apart of the fight and defense of this great country, regardless if you put cammies or a collared shirt on in the morning. Being in the office and checking emails is a far cry from where i was before, but for 80% of the ppl i work with, there is always this separation. I remember when the SgtMaj came in earlier this year and said we are all apart of the defense of this county and of this world. It doesn't matter your rank, branch, or job. We're all apart of the bigger picture and we're all making a difference.
I love this video, definitely my favorite so far.
This was a lot more than a free youtube video. Thanks Destin. Salute to u.
You said it perfectly Destin, "The biggest threat right now is division." How much more relevant does this video seem now. I truly believe that if America does not get its sense of unity back, the spirit of unity and american pride we had back in WW1 and WW2, then we will crumble from within. Thank you Destin and General Brown for drawing our attention to the new domains of battle. This video is like a a security alarm, it lets us know the enemy is in our house, but we have to get out of bed and handle it ourselves.

The mainstream media is the real problem
@@PatrickBenoit10 Yep, and when over 90% of the media outlets in our country are owned by just 6 companies. You can imagine how easy it is to decide what the country will and won't hear in their news. I'm sure foreign attacks like this don't just come through internet videos, it also comes through media. Absolutely.
@@PatrickBenoit10 The real problem is people aren't taught how to vet sources. Small, independant and hyperpartisan tabloids/blogs are just as terrible as the big cancers like CNN and Fox. The most boring sources are usually the most credible, like Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, but people don't want to read anything that doesn't consistently support their "side".
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy A large part is unwillingness to compromise or trying to understand one another. People are pulling further and further apart. Politics has been becoming more and more authoritarian right for decades and decades. Now, it's become you're either extreme authoritarian right, or you're against it. There can't be compromise when even the middle ground is at such an absolute extreme. There's no wiggle room for compromise. It got there from compromise after compromise not being fair between the two sides, but rather slightly favoring one side over the other. Time and time again over a very long time.
I honestly don't know how to resolve that. Theoretically I do, but practically I don't. People want to compromise, but there's no room to do that anymore. Even most of the people in the comments section here are claiming that it's this issue or that, all while actually showing that they see other Americans as the problem, treating others almost as if they're the ones who should be stamped out, instead of the misinformation and misunderstanding. It's an "us vs them" mentality between fellow Americans, as Destin mentioned in his own video. The comments section are immediately turning to that, even if they don't say it directly.
I wanna see more of this magical projector sand pit!
scatterfull They are actually quite boring. It‘s just measuring what level the sand is in a certain spot and then project a certain color onto that spot. It‘s nice, but doesn‘t really have any military application in that state.
Go to any science fare for children, you can find them there quite often.
You actually have to shape the battlefield in the sand- the sand is scanned - then the projector is outlining the battlefield with tactical markers, no magic involved :/

@@Meyour67120 cheaper to shoot something you have and don't need any more, than it is to make a new target when you need it. Also clears out storage space, and storing things costs money.
Now, they could also recycle the ship. That's a good chunk of metal plus other resources than just sank into the pacific. I can't answer why they chose to sink it rather than recycle it.
@@tadferd4340 Must be cheaper I guess. Also it helps the environment when you sink boats, because it provides a shelter for sea animals. There's sometimes partnership between small coastal cities and the Navy for having a boat sunk so the sea wildlife improve and therefore the revenue for the city (through fishing, tourism)...

So, what you're saying is that you've got a carpenter, a plumber and an electrician - and you need to build a house. Previously, the plumper could only provide solutions that involves pipes, the carpeter could only solve issues with wood and the electrician could only wire things up, but now, you're adding a layer of abstraction to any problem so that all of them step back, identify the issue and decide which mix of skills can most appropriately resolve it; the carpenter can use the electrician and plumber to provide an optimised, multi-skilled solution that's more effective.

There's only one solution... Better education. The main problem with bad influence of people is not necessarily what domain it happens in, but the intelligence and knowledge of the people involved. It's never going to be perfect. Mental illness, corruption, religious conflict and other such imperfections of the human civilization will always be a problem. But to minimize it, the world simply has to get smarter. And it should start with a serious improvement to the education system.
I would say its not exactly education per say, but society and culture its the way we influence and tell our children etc about the world, about other people, etc because education is mainly just academics and academics dont breed common sense, How often have we seen people far smarter than us fall for the same silly traps that would make them dumb or foolish to you? I bet its far too many times. So this problem is much bigger than education
Education system is pumping out little fkn commies
Well, we have to vote for Sanders. He's the only candidate who wants to educate the working class. The rest want dumb under paid slaves so they can destroy democracy once and for all.
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA I understand what you mean and do agree. But certainly in the UK, school education is not just academia. We are taught about society and culture and British values and learn how to debate and construct arguments. We are also taught about equality and diversity of people along with thought experiments and other methods to encourage young minds to develop a good sense of themselves, common sense abilities, and a clearer view of the world they live in. I'm not for one second saying the system is perfect but the younger generation will be much better off. But still there's always more to be improved. Older generations were taught differently and have outdated values.
Education is a product of that cyber domain. By planting ideas into whole generations through control of education, you can cause widespread social damage and cause countries to collapse without firing a missile. The only countermeasure would be to completely strip politics out from the schools and universities, to boil out rabble and leave behind a clearer basis on fact and reason. Education is very clearly under a firm grip by the left, and it's causing massive social damage.
