News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

β€œPolicy 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.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

I’m 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?

In D.C. and seeing a few buddy teams of Army MPs. They look bored as hell just wandering around.

What. A. Waste.

I’ve been affectionately referred to as a doctrine nazi a lot because I care about what words mean…especially in the military context. I find etymology fascinating and prefer doctrine β€˜nerd’ to nazi. Shocking, I know.

When you have a rigorous selection process for specific skills, you can build muscle memory for things like critical thinking, adaptability, etc.

Right. The β€˜lesson’ the Army took is that it wasn’t 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.

Context:
BC’s (AIT BN CDR) office was called the β€œbunker” 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.

In this phase of life, I’m a brick-oven/wood fired pizza guy. Thin…slightly charred crust. All toppings are good toppings if the crust is done right. Can’t do the greasy, soggy pies anymore.

At an AIT BN β€˜05-06, 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:
- Soldier’s Creed / Ethos
- 40+9 WT&BD
- Combatives
- Convoy Live Fire

What did that accomplish?
