>"only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost"
Ok, so MIC companies do not get to make profit during a war, all relatives of government officials and C-level execs sit in trenches - I am all for it. Wake me up Mr. POS when that happens
Part of me wonders if Karp might just be mocking recent rants by the Trump & Tech Bro's gang.
Part of me wonders if the UK government could get its sh*t sufficiently together to dump Palantir if he'd actually gone Full Bond Villain, and (say) vowed to forever erase Britain from the face of the earth.

You haven't been following Palantir in the news in Trump's second term I would wager. This is definitely not the case. If it is, Karp is engaging in a multi-year performance art gimmick.
Palantir and other Big Tech execs were given the rank of Lt. Colonel in the army last year:
