The cold comfort amidst this rampant poo-flinging is the knowledge that none of this will even make it to the first stages of actual acquisition. This will die a prolonged, ugly death in budget legislation. Even if they hit the go button today, no results until at least 2032-33 (at best).
A real monkey paw moment for shithead Navalists on miltwitter - they wanted 1000 ships to defeat China, they're getting a ✨Golden Fleet✨ to implement the Monroe Doctrine with Trumpian Characteristics
They're gonna do it, they're actually gonna propose a new Battleship class (personal inference from SECNAV comment)
Golden Fleet would require huge budget increase for Navy, but some hints -- inclusing endorsement from OMB Vought -- suggest maybe they'll request that

The way work has been going, more and more of the old me has been leaking out in order to get through the day.
I have mixed feelings about this, but at least I have that bedrock of experience to fall back on.

The FYMM committed into essay form. The brutalism of “might makes right” inflicted on to a superpower with people standing around wringing their hands online, asking “what’s the legal remedy to this?”.
The legal remedy was last November and the nation fucked that up.

This thing needs to be returned to the sunken city of R’lyeh where its non-Euclidean freakiness came from.

Read the new National Security Strategy- a deeply isolationist/ nativist/ xenophobic piece of propaganda with little value for its intended use, but immensely useful to our adversaries by illuminating when and how America will cede global leadership.

"After my second tour, I realized it was not in the cards for me to die a quick and glorious death. I was going to live. So what was I going to do about that? I was going to live, and I wanted to live as a warrior. So I figured I better start planning to live a good life.”

As of this morning, been retired from the service for a full decade.
“Retired” as in, not wearing a uniform; but still in the same community, working many of the same problems. I just don’t get to do all the fun cool-guy stuff that made the drudgery worth sticking around for. /1
