National Security NeverTrumpers are either the stupidest people on Earth, or so deeply invested in an outdated model of of pursuing “national security” that they are willing to ignore or lie about obvious facts.

A charitable interpretation, which I suppose applies to some subset, is that they are set in their ways and can’t see how the landscape has changed. An uncharitable one is that they make a lot of money promoting one vision, so adapting to reality is too costly to allow.
