What you see is not a bowl of spaghetti, but is a PowerPoint slide US army used to explicate the Afghan military stragetegy in last summer. General Stanley McChrystal, the leader of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan, remarked on this," When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war."
The joke emerged a serious fact that the US army have unduly relied on using PowerPoint. Some generals said simplicity of the software produced a illusion of understanding and control, and sometimes underestimate the complexity of problems. They said it was unlikely for the software to elaborate the reality circumstance, and they tried to ban the use of PowerPoint in reporting. However, insiders said scrapping of PowerPoint was impossible in short term due to long-time reliance.
