Every time I read what is happening in the Caribbean I think: "In what material way is smuggling drugs into the country any different than Prohibition bootlegging in terms of the rules around law enforcement. This is like saying because whiskey was made in Canda or Scotland, then the governments of<
"The opinion also states that drug cartels are selling drugs to finance a campaign of violence and extortion, according to four people." That would be remarkable, since it's not how drug cartels work. They use violence to protect their business--selling drugs. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ha, and still blames it on Shumer. Love that the journalist followed it up with questions about Thune.

Shocking, but yes. This is why I'm begging the Marine Corps to reestablish SPMAGTF-X under the command of MCWL. Trying to experiment w/ active units during exercises is decelerating not accelerating. Worse a generation doesn't understand the difference between an exercise and an experiment.

Awesome. Especially because I'm trying to figure out what funds units get to customize their kit. Can't be O&M and I can't imagine how they can trade that for readiness reporting on T/E in DRRS.

It's amazing how many times someone thinks they are super clever saying the words "we just need bottom up refinement". In material solutions land that's the basic equivalent of confusing Ux/Ui feedback with "Okay, why don't I have an ultraquiet nuclear powered hovercar yet for deeply buried tgts?"

It's probably becuase they show up in uncontrolled mass delivery at some exesrcise/tech demo with no clear requirements, no training, no sustainment, hours to set up, no developed integration with the mission, and tech guys trying to be SOF cool.
