My favorite description of CENTCOM: "GWOT ended years ago and no one bothered to tell them."

Get your bag, 형님

Spec Ops Bro takeover continues...because we know NSW would NEVER let this go the other way with a YN or LS as CMC or a SWO as a NSWG Commander.

Crimes by fruit farmers are tried before a jury of their pears

I came here to make a skeet about Trump watching The Rock and getting this idea, and holy shit, that may have (kind of) actually happened

Surefire way to create more wars for your warfighters is to discount half the population when trying to end wars

And liberals will still be hesitant if the training baselines remain “us versus them” and “all brown people are dangerous.”

Really telling on himself by calling the death of a war criminal and authoritarian enabler “close to home”

Yet another incredible self-own from the dipshits in charge. Can’t wait to see partners at a Naval Symposium in Shanghai because the admin thinks relationship building and thinking are woke

Environmental nonprofits, Americorps, USAID, Institute of Peace.

This is a war on the Good.

There is enough classified info in those Signal chats that one can walk from Scotland to Iceland to Greenland without getting his feet wet!

Trump Draft Order Would Drastically Overhaul U.S. State Department The draft executive order that could be signed by President Trump would eliminate Africa operations and shut down bureaus working on democracy, human rights and refugee issues.

The “tough on China” crowd really loves self-owns that cede space and territory to China with zero pressure

A dumpy fuck with a midlife crisis car blasting the 2000s' worst pop country and thinking its all cool? He fits in with the MAGA electorate just fine

When they said "senior advisor" that apparently meant senior in high school

What a snowflake

Big 2LT energy from our bro SECDEF

Female soldier becomes the first woman to compete in the grueling Army Ranger contest A female Army Ranger for the first time competed in the annual Best Ranger Competition, and her two-soldier team finished the grueling three-day event over the weekend and came in 14th overall.

I hope this throws Hegseth into a hissy fit. Not just a woman, but a woman of color - someone he wants to banish from the military - finished Best Ranger, something Hegseth could never do himself despite his alpha bro bluster

Also I love how she's flagging the shit out of the guy next to her. Too busy killing puppies to learn basic weapon safety I guess

Korean children breathing a little easier today

Yet another incredibly skilled flag officer forced out for the crime of not being a white man.

They won’t stop until DoD is stocked with incompetent, white yes men.

Strapping in for recession #3 of my adult life

Ok so what’s the solution then? Bc no offense but neither you or a lot of other people aren’t getting out from behind the keyboard to start a revolution, and even if you did, it would be slapped down pretty quick. So I really don’t see an alternative to constant pressure over time

The way this administration wants to rewrite history as if only straight white men fought and won our wars never stops making my blood boil

100%. We have a playbook going back generations that shows how these movements develop, and they can be tailored to current events and context. It’s not a “snap your fingers and everything’s better” kind of a solution

It’s almost like we have a historical example from the 50s/60s of protest taking years to produce some meaningful change

JFC we’re really trying to make ourselves a non-competitor in the Indo-Pacific huh? Using cutting edge tech to blow up militant camps when we have fleets of drones and Hellfires for exactly that

But they’re all to selfish and chickenshit to do anything but talk tough about war

If you want “warfighters” specializing in “lethality,” you have to face the potential consequences of constant warfare, which is KIA troops

I love how this dipshit thinks everyone in uniform is a Trump-fucking MAGA cultist like him, and like he won't get liberal types in uniform teaching Cadets and Mids

Hey Korea, pass some of that rule of law this way will ya
