I deleted my tweets that speculated they used HC-130Js to fly in MH-6 Little Birds because I felt I was putting myself out there a little too much. That said, that busted up rotor assembly in the lower right photo…I am pretty sure that belongs to a MH-6.

Cambodia unveils a statue of famous landmine-sniffing rat Magawa

Tactical brilliance keeps covering for strategic ineptitude. Until one of these days it doesn’t.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... Everyone knows you can’t trust these people to tell the truth, so why take these “it was an open secret” claims seriously? They think it would reflect poorly on them if they didn’t know, so of course they’re saying they knew all along.

Two points about the downed F-15 crew in Iran: 1. Hegseth threatened “no quarter” against Iran, making the situation worse for those downed fliers. 2. Media speculation that the fliers could be used as “hostages” is sloppy language. They'd be prisoners of war taken during combat. Not "hostages."

He's not wrong here. 😂

The problem isn’t that two aircraft were shot down. The problem is that we aren’t psychologically or politically prepared to suffer any losses, because this entire war has been sold as a video game set on “easy” and not as a cause worth sacrifice.

The missing aircrew must be pretty far inland if they’re tanking over hostile territory, to give the Jolly Greens as much range as possible. 🤞

I ordered this cage for them, set it up in my office and everything…and two of them just walked through the bars. Guess they won’t be moving in for another week or two.

This is what being "against DEI" has always meant.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Quick reminder that the Chief of Staff of the Army is not in the chain of command.

This could be a mistake. It’s possible Hegseth hasn’t met Gen. George and is unaware he is not black or a woman.

After a F35 crash in 2018, the Marine Corps warned bystanders they could suffer “flu-like symptoms” from coming into contact with smoke from the burning plane. I haven’t seen a warning like that since.

When the astronauts get to the moon they should just keep going. Don't turn back. You're free.

This is what bailing out the rich gets you.

The years of goodwill America has built up is deteriorating at a pace unparreleled

Note: the Fandom article states that Montalban was “horribly miscast” as a Japanese. I am willing to cut the casting a lot of slack, though: I have on more than one occasion been mistaken for a Mexican by actual Mexicans. Also I am pretty sure it is impossible to miscast Ricardo Montalban.

We could have had *both* Ricardo Montalban playing a Japanese and Toshiro Mifune playing a Mexican??? 😭 hawaiifiveo.fandom.com/wiki/Samurai

I mean, that was my cousin and French conscription in the 1990s.

CENTCOM is contradicting BBC and NYT reporting that PrSM missiles hit Lamerd, Iran, killing 21 people. CENTCOM is claiming the video shows a Hoveyzeh missile, and is too long to be a PrSM. The shape, and dimensions aren't consistent with CENTCOM's claim.

It's like trying to deal with children. Again and again this administration makes hypocrisy-drenched arguments an eleven year old boy would make and tries to present them with a straight face.

We are bad at family photos. Penny moved her head. Day 20 of my captivity to these cats. I estimate they are between 21 and 22 days old. They have all tripled their weight. The striped one is 441 grams. This week: litter box training, more deworming, a bit of wet food.

Buddy have you even met an American

Every time I think the idea of elite overproduction is kind of dumb and how could that even be a bad thing, I spend two minutes on Bluesky and that ends the debate.

🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 It is 58 years since the US Army adopted a new offensive grenade, the new M111 Offensive Hand Grenade is intended to provide enhanced capability in confined spaces and augment the M67 frag grenade. Full vid & article linked below 👇

I mean, it’s all lies and nothing means anything anymore, but this might be necessary if the US is able to save some sort of face taking a deal. Also lol element of surprise.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

For more on Hegseth's holy war, see this excellent overview of the dangerous rise of white Christian nationalism by @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social:

The Iranians are playing this very smart. They aren’t bothering to go after $100 million stealth fighters but the tankers that refuel them and the command and control aircraft that allow us to manage the air battle. Without them the fighters are much less capable. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

At the end of the new Netflix movie, War Machine, the hero returns to his Colorado based training regiment with the secret for defeating the Global problem, and the CC says "get this intel to CENTCOM!" And at first I was like, that doesn't make sense, but I get it now.

Day 1: 138 grams Day 16: 374 grams This guy knows how to relax.

Last night my 9 year old discovered there are hidden messages in her favorite show, Gravity Falls fans can decode with different ciphers. So she’s spent all morning (Spring Break) finding and cracking them. I mean…on principle I like it but not as wholesome as it used to be. Maybe it never was.

He fired a Black man who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He fired a woman who was the CNO. I could go on. How much more evidence do we need.

This is weird. Why would an adversary telegraph their capabilities without staging an attack? You don’t necessarily need to scout Barksdale, just look at Google. USAF will be ready for the next incursion. abcnews.com/Internationa...

These guys are like hermit crabs. Just constant scraping and scratching noises coming from my office.

I'm going to get brain damage holding my breath every time Pete Hegseth says or does something stupid. But at least he and I will finally have something in common.

Imagine if a company put that they were backed by Hunter Biden in the very first sentence of their press release. “Hell no.”

Missiles expended to strike tactical, operational, and strategic rear areas (US only): ▪️912 JASSMs; ▪️535 Tomahawks; ▪️320 ATACMS + PrSMs. Total: 1,767 This doesn't include aerial bombs and specialized anti-radar missiles like the AGM-88 HARM Iran launched 1,300 ballistic missiles and 3,555 drones

Ears are out and wiggling. Stripe is going to be a big boy. Might be a longhair.

Really curious how she interacts with wait staff at restaurants.

Live view from the White House:

VIDEO: Indonesians fire wooden cannons as part of post-Eid celebrations in Bogor, West Java province. Two villages separated by a river compete to create the loudest battle fire by packing the cannons made from kapok trees with carbide stones.

The damage done to our investment account by this war is equivalent to Trump buying a 2026 Tacoma TRD Off Road pickup truck our money and driving away with it. So far.

Please don’t use “cargo cult” as a verb.

"The current Type 093B Shang-class, of which at least four are in service, is just the latest iterative development of the -093 family." I suspect this may not be quite accurate. In fact I believe 09IIIB is a near total revision, risk reducing tech for 09V. www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...
