In 1921, Army Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell proved airplanes could sink battleships. Three years later, he predicted Japan would launch a surprise air attack on Pearl Harbor at dawn. Navy and Army brass dismissed him. They court-martialed him, forced him out, then spent the next two decades building more battleships.
On Dec. 7, 1941, Mitchell's predictions were proven right, but it was too late.

Lt Col Charlie Brown truth tellers get crucified. Then when chaos arrives, there are no truth tellers to consult.

LTC Matthew Schlosser that was the word I was searching for, visionary. When a person is light years ahead of their time, fear tricks the masses.

And As Many Of Us Have Seen And Have Known From Our Experiences,
Many People Fear Knowing The Truth. They'd Rather Not Know, As It Interferes
With What They Perceive As A Peaceful Life.

Way to late but, he received a Medal of Honor for his contributions to military aviation and they named the Mitchell Bomber after him... Denial of intelligence continues to hound the military. We still encounter similar push back to viable intelligence reports. It is hard for some people to change their minds or admit they may have been wrong in their thinking...

It's Far From ONLY in The Military, But Throughout Every Walk Of life.
For Reasons Unknown To Me, If They Don't Want To Believe It, It Isn't True.

What sets Omm Sety’s case apart isn’t just her detailed knowledge of ancient Egyptian customs and hieroglyphics but her ability to locate previously undiscovered archaeological sites through what she claimed were memories from her past life
