Idk the is what Navy pilots say all the time
There’s probably a YouTube video
Also it’s like one ISD doing most of it
Showing an upside and downside scenario alongside your baseline is fine!
But talking out of both sides of your mouth when you’re actually using the plans is wrong
It’s painful but strategy is planning what *not* to do
It’s what the Corps did in FD2030 while the Navy didn’t
We lost YEARS because the navy kept saying that they can do a 347 ship navy, stabilize the SSN fleet count, recap SSBNs, fix our maintenance problems and a half dozen other things
On a flat budget (because we know you will plus us up whenever we “forget” a DDG to pay for cost overrruns)
My biggest problem with a lot of the navalists was that they always chased 1,000 different tactical problems vs making a strategy with painful decisions
We wasted years because their force structure planning turned into scenario planning congressional wish lists rather than making decisions
Like 20 days of Gulf gap filler
Rename them the Generals
Probably somewhere about the same
It’s a race between just going through every team or remembering he was the only true center on the Olympic team
The modern Mauser 98
REMEMBER THE WING
Arguably, there is one
And it was truly horrifying in scale, with two truly unique peaks that still echo in memory
And it still took MONTHS
It’s read all of Twitter and all of Tumblr
Of course it has anxiety
DAMMIT THIS IS THE ACTUAL JOKE

Don’t look bad on CNN
Can we triple it and pay off 1% of the national debt every year?
There’s an ad on CNN saying that AI is the future of Sweet Tea Manufacturing in Mobile Alabama
Throw in a couple of measures of The Sun of All Fears for good measure too
We are in a full reverse Debt of Honor/Executive Orders scenario now
I’m tired of this Tom Clancy fanfic
To be fair - 10,000 guys with muskets are REALLY REALLY good at holding ground once they have it
It’s just really really expensive in time, money, blood, and political capital
Meanwhile, the new stuff is really “cheap” and “easy” by comparison
Most VC bros are just Good at PowerPoint (Talkin)
Every cleric is a a wizard who realized it was easier to just have a god do the magic for you
So this is one of the differences between old canon and new canon
Old canon, particularly via the various video games, had much more of an established rebel fleet pre-Yavin
Meanwhile, current canon via comic books doesn’t have the same substantial fleet till post-Yavin Mutiny on Mon Cala
There’s a scene where a space elevator collapses in Gundam 00
Absolutely terrifying scale of disaster
I’ve done 10 milers with no training before
It sucks, you’re gonna put up a horrible time, and feel it for days
The thing I’m most afraid of is falling asleep during the 1.25 beers and 1.25 tacos per hour slog
We have failed a great many times and we have unquestionably backslid. But go tell the people who marched in Montgomery or Selma this shit wasn’t worth fighting for. Go tell the men of the 20th Maine at Gettysburg it wasn’t worth it. The kids who landed on those beaches at Normandy
Give me a break
Okay? And it’s my home. It’s where my people are, it’s where I grew up, and it’s my fucking home too. So I stay here and I make it better. You wanna go be an Airbnb influencer in the south of France, be my guest. I’m gonna stay here and fight for my home

We can just call it the Conservative News Network now
