Just planning what to do will paralyze the French for at least the 5 years Macron mentioned. Having done business with the French, I can say they are great at planning to the N-th degree, but relatively poor at execution. Americans tend to be the opposite, shooting from the hip and moving on without ever having a genuine plan. There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it again. There are plusses and minuses both ways and either approach can be annoying. No way this thing gets rebuilt in 5 years.

The N.S.A. connection to the attacks on American cities has not been previously reported, in part because the agency has refused to discuss or even acknowledge the loss of its cyberweapon, dumped online in April 2017 by a still-unidentified group calling itself the Shadow Brokers. Years later, the agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation still do not know whether the Shadow Brokers are foreign spies or disgruntled insiders.

Thomas Rid, a cybersecurity expert at Johns Hopkins University, called the Shadow Brokers episode “the most destructive and costly N.S.A. breach in history,” more damaging than the better-known leak in 2013 from Edward Snowden, the former N.S.A. contractor.
...
Since that leak, foreign intelligence agencies and rogue actors have used EternalBlue to spread malware that has paralyzed hospitals, airports, rail and shipping operators, A.T.M.s and factories that produce critical vaccines. Now the tool is hitting the United States where it is most vulnerable, in local governments with aging digital infrastructure and fewer resources to defend themselves.

EternalBlue was so valuable, former N.S.A. employees said, that the agency never seriously considered alerting Microsoft about the vulnerabilities, and held on to it for more than five years before the breach forced its hand.

That's insane and stupid. Most captains take the ships official car as they are never off official duty during a normal weekend. I wonder what's the back story to this.

I, too, am curious about the back story -- I'm guessing there's quite a bit more to it. Bit the fact that the miles on the vehicle did not match the logs implies that whatever was done, it might well have been done knowingly and with intent. That may have been the primary factor in the punishment.

Most top-tier militaries are strongly of the opinion that a senior officer that won't obey the rules laid down for them has no right to expect his subordinates to obey the rules laid down by them and is therefore unworthy of command.

Every individual has the right to make their own decisions in life ... and who knows, maybe this couple will one day want to have kids ... but it makes me sad seeing people pour their potential for love on things that cannot possibly return it.

I think it is simply a couple of wackos looking for attention.

But it's cheaper than kids. Congrats to them!
