If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

This is nuts, on like six different levels, but hey, this is still somehow the upper limit of intellectual rigor we get out of the current regime. A fucking stain on the legacy of democracy, these clowns.

Michael, why do you hate the future? Do you want China to win? If we don't subsidize the jenkem habits of ten thousand """entrepreneurs""" whose best day is reinventing the harop-2, then Taipei may as well be Beijing!

The military is a giant apparatus, and within it, SOCOM already has a checkered reputation. If you think everyone in a uniform is just cool with this stuff, you don't know enough people in uniform.

I disagree. Dudes sitting in ICBM launch control centers, MPs at the Fort Campbell gates, and ONI researchers in Suitland, Maryland, are not hearing "do the warcrimes or GTFO" which is the necessary preemptive event to be threatened with "keep GOP in control forever or face jail"

Dracones has been brain poisoning himself over the past few months about this stuff, it's why I stopped following him.

It feels like a large part of both culture and politics these days is people wondering “why don’t I feel the way I did when I was 12”

"We're saying RELAX, GUY again!"

The Netherlands has taken over defense of NATO’s key logistics hub in Rzeszow, eastern Poland, deploying 300 troops, 2 Patriot systems, NASAMS, and anti-drone gear. Part of the NSATU program, the mission runs through June 1, 2026, ensuring secure delivery of aid to Ukraine.

I'm not sure if I'm more irritated at the "Vault Tec it you dummy" or the inability to understand how a blockade of Taiwan would be maintained

The vanquishing of Military.com. Former staffers say a new owner dealt the respected publication a death blow when service members and veterans needed it most.

This has made zero rounds through my mil-community.

And your options for air are either heavily abstracted in Standard or just bad in Advanced.

Ukrainian soldiers call Trump‑backed peace plan a sheer capitulation. “It’s not a plan, it’s surrender,” one frontline sergeant said. Giving up Donetsk and other regions they still hold is unacceptable. Peace for them means defending their land, not trading it.

“Mr. Trump, I’m from Donbas — why should I give my home and my region to Russia? Donbas is Ukraine.”

A Ukrainian soldier from Donetsk wrote this on a ruined wall. This isn’t politics; it’s a life tied to a street, a graveyard, a school.👇

"It's not enough for me to be miserable, everyone must be and only through universal misery shall we achieve world peace and/or post-scarcity."

Anduril is nothing more than Silicon Valley hype in military cosplay. Smoke vendors, nothing more.

The revolution was a lie.

They've got the potential to develop and field nuclear weapons pretty rapidly. A USAF ICBM colonel I worked with estimated 6 months. If Japan decides the US is unreliable, nuclear proliferation seems inevitable.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

It's Bayou of Pigs but dumber and Bayou of Pigs wasn't exactly Ocean's Eleven to start

For example, the Gulf War got a lot more out of Iraq's fielded forces destroyed by applying AirLand Battle than it did deep strikes against infrastructure. The latter did happen, and did matter, but the main event was the defeat of Iraqi fielded forces, especially armor and air defense.

A lot of the weight here is the word "strategic." For air planners in the US, strategic = bomber force or nukes. It's a legacy from the Cold War. There's a reason the nuclear command is US Strategic Command. Fighters (off land or a carrier), are tac air. You can do a lot of coercion with tac air.

Most nations are not investing in strategic airpower. Only the US, Russia, and China field bomber forces. Not a coincidence these nations have bomber-based nuclear weapons. Ukraine is currently running a strat air campaign with UAS. It doesn't seem to be winning them the war. Tac air is more common.

Whoa whoa whoa

You can also buy drugs and get scammed with it

I saw the IAF roundel and I clapped!

IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
