Heard this today from a smart European: Europe has subcontracted security to America. Its economy to China. Energy to Russia and its labor force to the Islamists. This model now has completely collapsed.

Got what I voted for.
Fox News: President Trump approves execution by Army firing squad for Nidal Hasan. Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in the 2009 Fort Hood attack.

I’ve been reading so many well thought out tweets about #digger and bringing me new understanding of all the things I didn’t pick up on. Looking forward to seeing it again this week

20 years ago today, Oct 4, 2006, I received my “involuntary” activation orders at Goldman (rightly suspicious about the adjective). With two boys determined to join, the mission to help proliferate unmanned systems across the Services has a personal element. @SecWar speech: “Golden Rule.  My sons…are no more important than yours.  All precious souls, made in the image and likeness of God.  Every parent in this country deserves to know that their child that joins our ranks is entering exactly the kind of unit that the Secretary of War would want his son to join.”

Today, at Secretary Hegseth's direction, the Department of War is starting the creation of the Autonomous Warfare Command. This will be a new 4-star combatant command—with service-like authorities—built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the Joint Force in the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history.

It really is. I had the luxury of seeing him with the beautiful @LaurenA27259164 and I’m still thinking about the show a week later.
You know when you come across a new song and realize it'll be there the rest of your life?

According to failed General Mark Hertling, "it's not clear why" the Pentagon has decided to test senior officers. I could end this post there and have the internet tell it how it is. But I'm not. I actually read this rag of an article. My response to Hertling (who blocks me but he will see this) is that let's talk about YOU. Since you've dedicated oh so much time making it political about Hegseth and Scheller. Mark Hertling has: >publicly announced “I consider myself woke,” opposed rolling back DEI and transgender accession policy, and called Hegseth’s DEI critique “insulting” to the force >lectures that the military must stay apolitical while writing a steady stream of partisan attacks on the sitting Secretary and defending Mark Kelly’s political video as professional duty >tripled down on every failed policy of GWOT like mOnEy aS A wEaPoN sYsTeM >removed the bayonet from Army basic training as DCG for Initial Military Training, then acted shocked that old infantrymen objected >cut .50 cal familiarization and convoy live fire from BCT in the same “we teach too much stuff” overhaul >commanded MND North in 2007–08, sold a “historic turnaround,” and watched that same ground become the spine of the ISIS caliphate six years later >wrote in April 2021 that Biden “made the right call” on Afghanistan, then spent 2026 treating Stu Scheller as too stained to design a promotion screen >built his late career brand on Soldier Athlete and PT reform, then framed “fat generals” talk as crude culture war the moment someone else said it TLDR on his article but know this: he firmly states nothing is wrong with the old system. He said that. He literally said those words. Totally cool. Zero to refine in the promotion process. You know what problem we are trying to solve, General? You. You are the problem we are trying to solve. Because you can't fight yourself out of a wet paper bag yet somehow think you're the greatest gift to the military since Napoleon. If Napoleon thought men could get pregnant. Keep hammering away on your partisan rag. If anything, you've given America that much more of a glimpse into why testing future generals and admirals is necessary. So they don't become.... you. *picture posted for no useful reason whatsoever than illustrating this man is a joke*
"Before rushing to use this new assessment, the Pentagon should determine whether performance on the evaluation correlates with demonstrated performance in the real world....I can think of an intriguing way to conduct that proof of principle." lnk.thebulwark.com/3VPscuV

Democrats don’t even deny voter fraud anymore. They just look at you like this.
Kamala Harris says Republicans are cheating by removing ineligible voters from the rolls.

You don’t owe mercy to people openly praying for your destruction. You owe them a closed gate and defiance. If they celebrate your downfall, stop treating their opinion like friendly fire. It isn’t. Mercy is noble. Forgetting who tried to destroy you is negligence.

This is nothing like Iraq. It's a Naval Blockade. The tool that worked for centuries: maximum pressure without enemy soldiers hiding in hospitals and other critical infrastructure civilians need causing millions of refugees to flee. You know that highly effective took of warfare the USA forgot the day the Secretary of the Navy got booted from the Cabinet in 1947 and the Army and Air Force took over strategy. P.S. we didn’t forget it entirely. It’s what Nixon finally used to get North Vietnam to sign a peace deal. If LBJ had used it much earlier, rather than just letting Russian rearmament ships sail into Haiphong, that war would have ended very differently.
Given Will's insistence that Trump/Iran isn't anything like W/Iraq, it's amusing to see him paraphrasing statements made by Bush, Cheney, and Ari Fleischer circa 2003-6:

Open borders advocates want you to think their stance is compassionate and virtuous. All the while incentivizing cases like this and worse as it relates to human trafficking.

They wanted to look benevolent at their banquets, while you watched the factory your grandfather work in close. This can be part of the world. Markets move on, things change, and we adapt with them. But always there was a chance. A hope that was America.

This has been US foreign policy for the last several decades. Pre-Diluvian reprobates at USAID and beyond in need of rain. Sadly, if there was a biblical flood to clean this Augean Stable, the fools, while treading, would find a way to fund an NGO doing retarded shit there too.
Am sure that US taxpayers are happy that Yemen is the largest recipient of free US wheat, which even the furiously anti-American Houthis consent to eat . Narcotic qat requires 40% of the country's agricultural water supply, making free wheat essential
