In the far future a commander could be connected to a military without knowing what country or it belongs to or where it operates. This could be done through digital anonhmized communication. The battlefield could have a virtual representation. This is all well and good. The commander does not know where the troops are and other details, need to know and all that. Commander could be rented out to allied countries. But through a series of bizarre events the commander could end up commanding the opponents military. Without even knowing it, because of virtual battlefield and anonymized information. This would not be a serious problem as long as both opponents don't end up in war with each other. A commander who discovers himself in this situation would want to get fired from one or both responsibilities. Problem would be if both opponents already knew about this situation and still refuses to fire "their" commander. Only way out of this is if commander try to prevent the two...

It is irritating for a dude to get the job to infiltrate a hostile intelligence network only to find out they got no teeth, no capacity to commit violence at scale. That infiltration was more or less unnecessary. Most intelligence networks are feared because people are afraid of their violence potential, but most if not all are completely weak. They don't even act if you threaten to kill their own children and grandchildren. All they do is run to the police and demand protection when they get afraid. And they always become afraid if you push them. Before when intelligence agencies wanted revenge for someone not doing as they wanted the intelligence agency used to poison kid girls so that their face got destroyed, but this practice has largely stopped since the perpetrators have been killed.

Most of the bullying of children that occurs in a country is organized by hostile intelligence networks consisting of relatives of the children who bully. Often several families form an intelligence network. Bullying is used as a means of forcibly recruiting a child at an early age, while another child from the same intelligence network pretends to be friends with the vulnerable child to recruit it in the long term. This has been going on for generations in all countries in the west and the government is too cowardly to even talk about it. Some problems should be kept secret, but this is not one of those cases. Why is this still allowed and why is the security services such cowards and does not act and does what is required. Government put vast sums of money to combat bullying of children. Instead the adults in hostile intelligence networks should be killed by covert units and the children be taken care of by the government. And by the way, the people killing for the government should ...

Many networks are based on families networked together working toward their own goals for generations. These are the real power structures in society. Families preventing democracy by threatening to hurt politicians kids and by bribing people. Intelligence and security agencies tolerate this because they cooperate with these networks. A common method by networks is to find a kid with talent and influence it during it's life so that they can use that kid for power and influence during it's life. One favorite usual method is threatening the mother that they will torture and kill her son if she does not abuse her own son sexually. Later on that son  will focus his anger against his own family and can be easier controlled by the network. When he later in life learns the truth he can not kill his own mother as revenge since she was forced to torment him. The networks make sure that the boy's family and others harrass him by placing their own network as neighbours and aquaintance...
