News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing
The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Departmentβs restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.
βPolicy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.β
Absolute fucking abomination.

Iβm sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.
Right?

Iβve been affectionately referred to as a doctrine nazi a lot because I care about what words meanβ¦especially in the military context. I find etymology fascinating and prefer doctrine βnerdβ to nazi. Shocking, I know.

Right. The βlessonβ the Army took is that it wasnβt soldiering hard enough. While there was/is some truth to that (based on how compos 2&3 are resourced), a bigger lesson is in how we integrate OPCON units and then practice C2 of diverse formations.

BCβs (AIT BN CDR) office was called the βbunkerβ as it was adorned with sandbags, camo netting, and an ole gunmetal desk. As a 2LT, he was an OV-1 Mohawk pilot in Vietnam. He wore his 2LT uniform at his retirement.

At an AIT BN β05-06, my BC felt Jessica Lynch was the most influential soldier in generations. Reasoning was her capture forced the Army to rethink how it trained all compos for combat:
- Soldierβs Creed / Ethos
- 40+9 WT&BD
- Combatives
- Convoy Live Fire
What did that accomplish?
