HEARTBEAT, which seems to be the source of their 1.5m number, was explicited authorized by two levels of my management. I built it.

Claim: I reported a critical problem (software updates taking field sites offline) to senior management, and was reprimanded. True!

Army held me for weeks in a special unit for convalescence before separation. I left on crutches. They don't do that for "shin splints."

The original audio, which includes the "Ya dumayu," is available at the same link as the source article.
