Thrilled to see this out! I was fortunate to work w/a tremendous @rand research team on a sUAS project sponsored by 18th Airborne Corps. My focus was on maximizing the army's sUAS training ecosystem from the unit-level to institutional army. 1/

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

10 months ago I was in the worst shape of my life. Today, I’m visiting family and snuck in a Turkey Trot. 🦃🍗

What the “Department of War” posted today is not normal. Publicizing an internal referral memo on social media before any review has occurred undercuts the neutrality expected in military justice and risks unlawful command influence. That should alarm anyone who cares about due process. #holdfast

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Found my Grandfather’s Army-Issued field watch from WWII. He wore it across Europe to Germany, then in the Philippines.

Gonna see if I can get it running again.

If you know a good watch shop in the DC/NOVA area send me a note.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

Pour one out for the investigating officer (IO) who I am sure {sarcasm dot gif} will face no pressure to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion. If this goes to CM, I’d pay good $ to see the Article 32 hearing via PPV.
The Department of Defense announces it's considering "court-martial proceedings or administrative measures" against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship.
The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

Similar experiences in Afghanistan. Rumors BN XO abusing a boy (boy’s dad was a cook); young chai boys; my Afghan counterpart frequenting brothels in Herat. I still think of the young girl outside the ANA hospital w/a closed compound fracture of her arm. Her dad, who 100% abused her, asking for $.
These schmucks are approaching what I like to call a "reverse Afghanistan" sexuality here:

The FBI requesting fiber-optic drones is incredibly dumb and also very funny

Yall think your threat model is “jamming with electronic warfare weapons” and not “your barely-trained pilot wraps your way over-priced American made fiber optic drone cable around a Chick-Fil-A drive through sign??”
FBI Wants To Add Fiber Optic Drones To Its Arsenal
Fiber-optic-controlled drones, ubiquitous on the battlefield in Ukraine, could be headed to the FBI's armory.

Day 3 of the dysfunctional shit show, our Russia-Ukraine follies. Rubio reportedly calling everyone and essentially saying the Witcoff/Vance plan is a piece of Russian shit…well, that’s very good at least. Entire episode is ludicrous, and almost amusing, if stakes were not so high.
