#2Why is the Pentagon not a giant honeypot / decoy? They paint a huge target on their back. You don't want to advertise your core infra somewhere obvious. You need your core infra in obscure locations where people don't look. Military strategy 101.

Destroying the entire Pentagon would have no meaningful effect on US military power unless it killed some important leadership.
As an attacker, you'd have some symbolic victory and maybe a few months of diminished function, but you'd also trigger a major military operation that would certainly destroy you. There's no upside.

#4If it's useful, here [1] is the interview with Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder. As per usual most of the questions the news ask him were explained at the start to be part of an active investigation but he does comment on some things being discussed I have seen in a few different threads here on HN.

Or you'll trigger a military operation against a completely unrelated party because the President and your family are golfing buddies.

They should convert it into condos, not tell the enemy, and move command and all operations to a small section of Apple Park. No one would dare assault Apple Park.

What "core infra" do you imagine is at the Pentagon?

Why not? Apple headquarters looks like it's equipped with unknown weapons and could take flight at any moment. Their plan to hide their saucer -style UFO isn't as secret as they think.
