Before I took battalion command I re-read Army Reg 600-20, Army Command Policy, which touted wOkE values such as not discriminating based upon gender, race, religion…and other anti-American concepts such as training and preparing the organization.

Dear Politico, Fuck off. Cheers, Brad

if you were wondering what conservative MilTwitter is up to, they're currently calling Lt General Jonathan P. Braga (USASOC) woke

Guy who didn’t visit an American cemetery to honor our WWII heroes because it was raining: I really think women should just tough it out and not take Tylenol during pregnancy. 🤡

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

One aspect not covered in the Tylenol causes autism absurdity is that when children are Dx, it’s common for parents to be courted by many touting pseudoscientific treatments. 20 yrs ago, we had some attempt to convince us to try chelation therapy and others anti-fungals. This will harm families.

century of national humiliation

Let me input this astute analysis into TIGRnet

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

I should add for those who don’t know me that I hate this for my family and those like us. I’m 100% sure my wife will receive numerous texts + calls from MAGA family touting this BS. It’s hurtful and harmful to people I love, especially the young man w/me in my pfp.

I hate everything about this

Yeah, We’ll spend a massive amount of money and tie up half of all of our airlift capabilities to keep an air bridge open to support a brigade minus that is struggling to maintain security at an single airfield to create some content for Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War” X page.

Sustainment is going to be a monumental challenge too

A modern reboot of "Once an Eagle," where Courtney Massengale is a terminally online edge-lord:

Anyone who says this is good for strategic balance against the PRC shouldn't be listened to on any issue related to military affairs. It's absurd. Logical endpoint of the ridiculous cultural panic over the end of the war.

Pretty sure the Soviets built airbases such as Bagram and Shindand. Hell, in Shindand I lived in a room that was: Soviet officer quarters ➡️ Taliban ➡️ US ➡️ Taliban 2.0

Who does InfantryDork™️ think he is? Thanos?

Honestly don’t think Abrams or Petraeus should be on this list. Recommended substitutes: ✅ William Westmoreland ✅ Tommy Franks

Today’s run and soundtrack.

This is congruent with the GWOT version of the stabbed in the back myth. Dort likely relishes in “the gloves being off.” To sum it up for my fellow Gen-Xers, “This is your brain. This is your brain on Lethality!”

These peoples brains are cooked and they need to be relieved from duty and many need to go to jail. Nothing else will stop the spread of "the sea is not a courtroom" ideology in armed forces. Was the bombing of USS Cole totally cool because it was at sea? This is not how lawful militaries operate.

The public’s capacity to hold the military & its civilian ldrs accountable is a core principle of democratic control of the military. If Pentagon reporters can’t do their jobs, citizens won‘t have info they need to do their part Which may be the point here. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The US Army CGSC Common Core has a single block on “The Profession.” There was a push to have uniformed faculty instruct it but I bucked that simply because I was much better read on Civ-mil scholarship.

among the issues with people not having any knowledge of hybrid regimes in the global South is the fact that everyone assumes contemporary authoritarian governance looks like 20th century totalitarianism

First they came for Jimmy Kimmel. And I said nothing because although I called myself an Originalist, I had never read the Constitution.

You can brand yourself w/ whatever slogan you want, but you can’t be “The party of national security” while historically performing poorer on the economy; underinvesting in human capital; and willfully destroying the constellation of allies and institutions that made America a global power.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

The FOB Mayor, you ask? Bagram Babe

Green Beans will be there in a couple of weeks! We are so back!

My Catholic Parish is so wOkE we pray for the poor and the sick! 😂

This is an extremely basic point, but one that bears repeating: in a law-governed society, the state cannot simply murder people it has identified as potential criminals. It does not matter if those alleged criminals are foreigners. If you illegally kill people, you have committed murder.

Lots of reactions to the blatant and accelerating unconstitutional and anti-democratic actions by the administration. You can get mad. You can get sad. You can get scared. I’m getting a law degree. And then I’m getting started.

It’s getting harder and harder to mine all this clean, beautiful coal when the mine is stuffed to the rafters with all these dead canaries.

I’ve lost a fair amount of weight this year. When I stepped out of the shower the other day my wife said, “Wow, you’ve got a white girl ass!” Honestly, can’t recall a better compliment. 😂

We interrupt your doom scrolling to bring you this beautiful rose. It smells amazing too.

They are now coming for milspouses. Have known of several families that had to move off the installation due to the conduct of a family member. The BIG difference was that conduct was always criminal, not protected speech.

The thing that's astounding is they don't seem to understand how what they're exactly playing at, their cowardice actually increases their personal risk! Their entire being is predicted on the stability and order that they are choosing to compromise!

This could be about anything in American politics, multiple times per day.

I know we’ve all lost our capacity to be shocked, but this statement is incredibly fucked— just casually joking about how we might “accidentally” murder innocent fisherman in the process of doing the OTHER war crimes we *intend to do*

Famously lacking in Warrior ethos™️

Need to pick up more paint this morning. My supervisor (wife) has graciously offered to accompany me so that I don’t buy anything else. Lol

InfantryDork continues his audition to be the next CSA.

This is a lot like when Afghans would magically appear with lists. Me: “So. Muktar. Is this guy actually harboring UBL, WMDs, and a poster of The Dixie Chicks…or do you just want him dead because you want his stuff?” Muktar:

The only thing my wife watches on TV is French news. Yo no hablo but rest assured, from observing the news clips and guests alone their coverage of the US, Gaza, Ukraine…is vastly different than our cable news.

there goes Roy Hobbs, the best there ever was in this game.

RIP, Roy Hobbs.

The president is intentionally killing non-combatants who pose no direct threat in violation of domestic, international and military law and his VP and chief policy adviser are promising an authoritarian crackdown on his political opponents. Just today. Democracy and the rule of law are on the line
