Watching the Avalanche-Mammoth game Wondering if Maker, Toeves, or McKinnon are gonna kill anyone tonight

Everyone else in the group chat waking up to all the text messages me and the one other hockey fan have been sending in the last three hours

Me, internally after killing the 5-3 penalty: I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Mandate of Heaven baby

Connor Hellebuyck MVP

Ok but we really need to do something about the delay in showing the replays NBC

SECDEFROCK - wrong???? 🤔🧐🧐

Ok but can we get the replay of the goal already NBC? Damn

GOLD

Olympic hockey overtime is 3-3 sudden death for twenty minutes? Damn

I don’t want to be an asshole cause it takes a lot to admit you’re wrong and I hadn’t heard the argument that the cavalry’s battlefield dominance in the Middle Ages was the result of poor infantry, but like…it’s pretty obvious weapons alone don’t 🟰 success warontherocks.com/2026/02/is-t...

Watching the super bowel You may not be interested in attrition, but attrition is interested in you

the lion doesn't concern himself with the reality of being grotesquely over wordcount

Anyone remember in like 2019 or so some Australian General giving a speech and going the question is not tanks or armor but both?

It’s only a hot take because the ship is hot

Read Theory

If we’re giving more capability to units and forcing them to fight up an echelon in time/space management…does this portend a slow death of the “operational level” war as BCTs/DIVs (tactical units) increasingly do “operational level” stuff (think out 72 hrs/100k+) and it all just becomes tactical?

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.

I don’t know quite how to describe the feeling of seeing Bellingcat announce their starting an investigation into the shooting

RIP #shareyourPSOP twitter cause this would have been a massive discussion with this but I think the transparent battlefield has several larger C2 implications that might not all be beneficial IMO First among them - it makes us worse at reconnaissance 1/x

From the POV of NTC OPFOR - yes. A few key reasons 1) Transparency is not guaranteed. Normal limitations/frictions of weather and enemy counter measures to defeat, destroy, or mislead your sensors exist. There’s a reason the grey zone in Ukraine shifts in depth every few months 1/x

Trafalger Square Redesign or Naboo Galactic Assault from Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017)?

On X there’s been talk about Zaluzhnyi’s telegraph article ascribing Ukraine’s underfunding of the military in 2021 as a consequence of Zelensky seeking peace over war But would not the electorate who voted for him have been aware of and supported such a policy? Limiting his options in late ‘21?

This is why your tanks are all broke.

Of course the Navy guy bought a HMMWV

Recruiters really hoping for a recession now

RETVRN - to 2010s era iPhone games. Unmatched

In other news - I am 10 years old

During NTC rotations, 11th ACR is always augmented by additional “guest Blackhorse” units. Read on to see how one such augmenting Infantry Company participated in the rotation and their observations on the challenge and complexity of the modern battlefield mwi.westpoint.edu/winning-the-...

Dudes rock

LETS FUCKING GO Holy shit that was almost embarrassing. Still don’t feel great tbh

Babe wake up - new Jack Watling just dropped

This is hard to prove but my impression is when thinking about large-scale combat operations, the U.S. Army, and particularly its armor branch, has suffered from a decades long weakening in understanding of combined arms employment/battle that has also leaked into the civilian side

Do they surrender to the Imperial Remnant in this one? m.youtube.com/watch?v=_pa1...

Oh yeah. Fall is coming

DOWN GO THE IRISH!!!!!

Oh man - we haven’t had Once an Eagle discourse in a minute!!! (I kinda agree with the author)

Fuck I need hockey to be back

This is a great article that investigates Robotyne and how an ABCT might have to change its concept of operations (and probably its current DOTMLPF-P alignment) to compete in such an environment mwi.westpoint.edu/the-army-and...

LANDPOWERRRRR

Read on to hear how the 11th ACR Blackhorse, the Opposing Force for the Army’s National Training Center (NTC), has tried to merge global battlefield observations into a representative, yet realistic threat that challenges visiting Rotational Units mwi.westpoint.edu/reconnaissan...

Literally the source article describes how this is a myth and ignores that 1) the militia mostly sucked 2) Fredrich von Steuben

I love how every pair tanks and drones article for the Army is like just pair them and then manuever is back boys Uh have we considered that the enemy might not simply allow our drone battalions to massacre their conventional battalions before we commit armor? mwi.westpoint.edu/steel-and-si...

“Russia is not an imperialist power”

What did we want to use AI for in the military again?

Lol
