This is the pro move tbh. Tried and true.

Hegseth:

Rubio:

JD Vance:

The shift in balance of power presented as shot and chaser.

Waltz somewhere feeling validated and shaking his head, as the U.S. no longer meets his second requirement.

MI Vort only poasting in PPT

Same! Been feeling this increasingly as of late and this one was the glass shattering moment for me. So disappointing, too, as I have held them in such high regard.

There he is. I hadn't seen the Main Character of Milsky in my feed in a bit and feared he had run out of idiotic, reprehensible things to say.

Just Olympic gold medal ball gargling

See, all these people use the internet at home. Daily. Without even thinking about risk. They unknowingly expose themselves to risk every day.

They do not conduct air strikes from their couch so everything they know about it is properly trained and the risk awareness is baked in.

Soldiers (and commanders) understand where the risk lies in kinetic action and maneuvering in the physical domain. They generally DO NOT in the cyber domain.

While I agree with some of the sentiments in this article, I feel it fundamentally misunderstands the operational environment it is advocating for and the baseline cyber awareness (lol) of the typical servicemember.

*screams internally*

Exactly this. And also - do people not realize the compounding nature of this issue? They think it works so well (it doesn't) when the source knowledge is majority human generated but there will rapidly come a time when that ratio flips.

Ummm why did my whole feed suddenly switch to nothing more recent than 2 days ago? Milsky, come back to me. I'm missing all the takes.

Especially since in order to solve those distinct problems, they often resort to modifying capabilities developed by the branches into a Super Specific SOCOM Variant™

Thinking about all the SOPs and templates I'm going to have to update

You probably already tried this but this happened to me a few weeks back after an update and I got it working again by hard reset (hold power button for 20 secs), but had to do it like 3 or 4 times before it would work.

I thought I had become completely desensitized to takes and then there was this

Love it when a book you pre-ordered arrives on a long weekend. Looking forward to digging in, @warmatters.bsky.social!

I think you could single-handedly revive it at this point though. Keep it up.

Been intending to start Patriot since @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social recommending at the old place, finally got around to it.

Upside: Probably most apt time of my life to watch it. A perfect show.

Downside: I finished it and now I'm forever mad at one of my favorite posters.

I am on day five of this and it is ruining my life. You are not alone.

Not a movie, and maybe not what you are looking for, but first thing that jumps to mind is Malarkey's encounter with the German soldier from his home town in Band of Brothers.

If your looking for general, Rigby offer a good evaluation of different approaches in After the Violence. Though the subject has rarely provided me anything other than depressing futility so I wish you well in your pursuit.

Ahhh, yes. My people.

Every time they feign concern for low stockpiles and claim prioritizing readiness while taking zero steps to improve production capacity I take another step in my decline toward rampancy. Or alcoholism.
