So this is what wishing on a monkey paw is like irl.

I hate everything about this except for probably the dogs.

It’s really gives it away that this is all for posting when the best they can do is 10 seconds of actual footage and the rest is pop culture clips.

She's right. Kind of dismayed to see people still doing this after we just did the whole "Afghan women" thing a few years ago which of course was another lie. We were never there for that. But lies are like music and fashion, the lies repeat because if someone bought it once they'll buy it again.

I dunno, man, seems like our melding of GWOT "kill all the leaders, every last one, as soon as they poke their heads up" tactics with demanding the absolute capitulation from a nation-state, which would have to be offered by a leader who can speak on behalf of said state, are incompatible.

I suspect they saw an opportunity to skip JRTC and took it. Other options: GRF deployment for a theater reserve force or physical security, prepping for an Aviation BDE deployment, or classic 82nd Division HQ-Starting MDMP because we think they might let us do a combat jump.

Hood, i’ve at least met people who were stationed at Polk who had good experiences as OPFOR and OCs.

I’ve never heard anything good about Hood other than its proximity to Austin and the LRS unit that no longer exists.

Doing OSINT(checking Hots and Cots for a sudden increase in DFAC food quality at Fort Bragg)

Ain’t that the truth.

RTX stopped selling their pride merch in the company store so it’s just a combat operation now.

I've been around the block. I've got enough KIA bracelets to go halfway up my arm. I've stood in a JOC and listened to a report come in, relaying that a good friend was killed in a green-on-blue. I've seen seen what an EFP does to an MRAP. I've lost soldiers.

I've never seen anything like this.

"you best start believing in catastrophic energy shocks - you're in one"

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Apropos of nothing, but this is why my Makers of Postmodern Strategy idea needs to happen.

Officers in 82nd Airborne Division HQ want one thing and it’s disgusting.

Division HQ saw an opportunity get out of JRTC and took it lmao

More lethality driven word salad from the...White House Press Secretary.

I’m so fucking tired.

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Its become pretty clear that troop accountability somewhere along the chain got completely fucked and there’s been multiple DUSTWUNs. I’m not sure if it’s on the ground or someone at DoD not wanting to report out WIA/KIA properly, but what the fuck.

He might be an ok person but my immediate reaction is that the guest on the Ezra Klein Show talking about DoD and Anthropic needs to be given a swirly.

they call him degrowth don

Shrinking the economy and encouraging less oil consumption? Most environmentalist President of my lifetime!

Crab Rave 10 Hours YouTube video by 10HoursMovies

Anyway, putting on the crab rave video and locking in until the weekend.

Demanding unconditional surrender, sinking ships in international waters and running an indiscriminate bombing campaign all seems a lot like a war.

The U.S. gov and its functionaries have been consistently spitting in the eyes of the gods through pure hubris, churlishness and, inhospitality.

I do not think this ends well.

Still holds up.

The CIA Psyops guys have really lost their edge since the weirdos got into management and stopped letting them microdose at work.
