This is such a great look at how real learning happens in the profession of arms. The story makes the point clearly: it is not the tool, or the simulator, or the technology that builds better leaders. It is the ability to think, adapt, doubt, question, and make decisions under pressure. The human brain is still the decisive edge. Technology can support it, but it cannot replace it. And the officers who understand that will always outpace the ones who only trust the system.
Several interesting points here, and very well written. I could recognise elements from my discussions with cadets.
I think the form works really well to keep the reader interested in finding out what is going to happen and what are the issues. Really enjoyed reading it.

You would love the book Victoria by William Lind.
Excellent form.
In the novella frame if I may continue…
“Tell me what your war is Winston and I’ll tell you if you’re training for it.”
Winston remained silent.
He knew better.
“The truth is Winston is you were defeated when you said and worse thought; Doctrine.
-O’Brien, Chief Compliance Officer.
