House Democrats will introduce five articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of war crimes in connection with the Iran war, abuse of power and mishandling of the Department of Defense (DOD).

It's hard to top Korea as an example of a just war, so, if we're being charitable, WTF are these guys talking about? I'm guessing three things (for the few who aren't just tankies who hate the US or guys who think anti-militarism is like boycotting the concept of war).

PSA: If you’re interested in teaching #PME at the Army Command and General Staff College, reliable source informed me eleven T10 faculty openings will be announced via USAjobs in the coming days. That’s all I know.

“General Lee…I have no tax subsidies now”

JD Vance shits in woods for first time, has advice for bears

anyway I'll probably address it more later, but the foundational issue is the people who "do defense" on the left (and are thus your primary USD/ASD/DASD pool) are mostly dipshits, there's very few in academia who a) know what they're talking about and b) want to take the gig (I can think of 2)...

Opposition to war, like war itself, is serious business for serious people. Right now it's like the left's equivalent of the right's cult of the operator, a bunch of fantasist cranks. A serious US anti-war movement will have FSOs at its core.

I've written before about how USAID was the first government agency killed by conspiracy theory. This confirms it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Okay, I had absolutely no idea just how old Beretta was.

Hello Bluesky! My new book, THE FIREARM REVOLUTION, is out on 14 April. It’s about how a new technology changed society, and how hard it was to control. Here’s a little thread of what’s inside:

From @elleewatson.bsky.social of @cbsnews.com (current as of Apr. 14, 2026) - 399 U.S. service members have been wounded in action during Operation Epic Fury. 354 have returned to duty and three are currently considered seriously wounded. Increase in WIA due to "delayed symptoms" / TBIs.

Congratulations to LTGEN Susan Coyle and our Australian Army allies for breaking new ground. 🇦🇺

Obviously I read this headline as, “Paddington 4: Escape From New York’ Reboot in the Works and it’s fair to say I’m slightly disappointed now

I see no problems (multi-decade ground quagmires) here. H/T r/noncredibledefense

“I wanted the Pope to be the emperor of mankind, blessing holy war against the unclean for all time, but instead it turns out he’s got the politics of a social worker!”

Here are my top 10 dog and news reporter interactions!

Hungarians have been swarming the comment section of the Return of the Jedi soundtrack on YouTube. One day... www.youtube.com/watch?v=II04...

President Zelenskyy: ❗️For the first time in the history of this war an enemy position was taken using only unmanned platforms - ground robotic complexes and drones. Russian soldiers in the position surrendered into captivity.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

If you're Pakistan, now it's just a question of when Saudi Arabia tries to call you into the war. They should have done the negotiations on Ibiza so both delegations' drinks would have been spiked with MDMA.

I am looking for a postdoc to join my team at the University of Bremen. 5-year-contract, top-up to 100% possible for most of the contract period. Apply by 04 May 2026. If you have questions about the position, send me an email! www.uni-bremen.de/en/universit...

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

Viktor Orbán has been ousted—and efforts by Washington and Moscow to prop the autocratic leader up give his defeat implications that extend far beyond Hungary, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports from Budapest. Read more: theatln.tc/KdGVkPGT

Viktor Orbán won't see your posts cheering his loss but U.S. right-wing authoritarians will.

If Uday and Qusay replaced Saddam, trying to imagine what the papers would say if the Bush Administration kept saying they had succeeded at regime change

Anyone smart on LOGFAS or whatever other log C2 systems our European allies use? Because this idea will live or die by common logistics command and control, not just common ammunition.

The good news is the US government has gained a bathrobe and an entire towel set that Vance stole from the Islamabad Serena Hotel.

I think Trump just sent Vance to Pakistan so he wouldn’t have to sit with him at the UFC fight.

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.

Large demonstrations against PM Orbán's government are taking place in large cities of Hungary. This is impressive.

I know the running joke is that Rubio supposedly has multiple jobs but maybe he could try doing Secretary of State stuff once in a while.

I am perpetually amused looking at Artemis recovery pictures and seeing the twenty-something aircrew with their dumb dirty staches. Never change, military.

Sure seems like your money is going to buying compromised accounts at this point

it's sad that prejudice blinds people to how bad driving isn't a matter of ethnicity, but of being from Maryland.

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air: 1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span, 2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black, 3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic. 4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

Great, we can send destroyers through during a ceasefire to see if they hit a mine so we can send an amphib through during a ceasefire. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/str...

The IG algorithm finally showed me some positive content — turns out the chefs of some European embassies have been participating in, what seems to be, a cooking challenge in DC 🧑‍🍳 Norway ⬇️

When somebody asks why R2 didn't recognize Yoda or use his rockets on Dagobah, a mean thing to say is the rebel technicians weren't actually able to fix him after the Death Star battle and replaced the droid without Luke ever noticing.

Everything is 30 Rock.

Now they have to file their travel voucher!

A COP tailored to the Coast Guard's operational requirements only needs to show a few things: AIS/S-AIS, VMS, weather, and an overlay that tells you which vessels are helmed by complete dipshits.
