Well, now that it has happened we can all know, based on actual concrete proof, that not a single person in the US military hierarchy obeys the law that requires the refusal of unlawful/unconstitutional orders.

We have transitioned from a military under Constitutional and statutory limitations to a military that is a Republican Guard, or in older terms, a Praetorian Guard.

If we ever do, if ever, return to a nation of laws then every person in the entire military hierarchy is going to have to be charged and disciplined - because no one, not a one, even questioned, much less refused, the unlawful/unconstitutional orders to go to war with Iran.

Huh? Cars in the 1960s and 1970s had zero software. People wanted to use them, and while they could have had better safety features, this wasn't a question of software.

And I think you vastly underestimate the amount of cars still out there on the road with little or no software other than very basic firmware. I drive a 2013 Yaris, and the only controls that wouldn't be familiar to a 1980s driver would be cruise control. (And that isn't really driven by software.)
