They say I'm disabled, only 80% combat effective. Rabid fan of decentralization, human rights, and republics over authoritarian regimes.
dependa creds aside read what I wrote, one guy wrote a book but there are hundreds who served there during this same time frame.

His State Police think differently, and he did nothing about it.

we are already retaliating that's why we are there. Killing them "deader" somehow wont bring back these American's kids. Merry Xmas.

it's a never ending excuse to world police. It's been 929 years since the first crusade, we can easily dump blood and treasure for another 900 years to get the same results. Sign your kids up.

declaring retaliation? Killing them even deader then we do now? I can't believe this answer seems satisfactory to anyone.
December 14, 2025 at 11:56 PM
so doing what we are already doing, we going to kill them deader? Somehow that dumb answer satisfies people.

let's not get too carried away eh? The military is full of diverse cross section of America with lower crime stats within the ranks. People in the mil have agency and do stupid stuff, it's not a conspiracy from a military command.

retaliation (kill them harder) is not even a remotely acceptable response. It doesn't bring back the dead, it doesn't hold anyone accountable. In cases like these, it doesn't even make sense we are already retaliating thats why they are there. MAGA dipshits.

PT starts at 0730 and that's company or battalion, platoon was closer to 9.

I think you nailed with the quantity statement. Modern airframe and missiles basically 100X even the best drones for effects so using those as potato chips is too expensive. The effects from the smaller FPV ones are too limited. Leves us with what can we get for cheap still has a pretty big boom.

The "attention" economy mostly "formers" who aged or skilled out looking for residuals with their sudden free time. For every rock star what, 5K failures? Between the number of people at it, bots, AI, dumb but hot women, I can't imagine it for the losers grinding. Save and invest your money kids.

They will all be between Dubai and the most valuable parts of real estate in the US behind locked gates with their puppets in DC for next 200 years of generational wealth. New World order of the worst people.

This implies they would feel like they did something wrong.
December 11, 2025 at 8:48 PM
I don't think this is true, looking at the past run away power happened a lot. Yes there have also been pushbacks and more settled periods. Look at current "crises" in Venezuela, "bannana wars" ring a bell? Era of "yellow journalism" leading to WW1, territorial expansion, Gilded Age monopolies....

when you think about it, kind of works out for everyone.

1. The fire where Sheroes emerge
2. Trump and Company (own the fake news)
3. Sycophants (maybe no one notices me doing nothing / happy)
4. America (fire this bum)

cool map, D3?
December 10, 2025 at 9:07 PM
there is a strong community wiring this stuff up right now but yea, missing some puzzle pieces for sure. These are positive augmentations I mean, I can still navigate with compass and map too.
December 10, 2025 at 8:48 PM
that's golden! I'd love to have these pop up every morning for the team. Do you have a SAAS offering or RSS feed I can susbscribe to?
December 10, 2025 at 7:29 PM
I'm seeing a big push from vendors right now that are making their way into integrations and networks, it IS happening and it's very GOOD.

What's less clear is the funding! There seems to be almost no acquistions happening, are people working off old money or what I can't tell.

as ISR platforms drones are making big changes in how and when information is shared. It's decentralizing and democratizing data, huge wins are around the corner in the next gen systems.

It's anti-intellecutalism. I know they claim "lefitst" or whatever but even that fails to compute.
December 10, 2025 at 5:30 PM
I really needed some laughs today.
December 10, 2025 at 5:27 PM
If you want to survive your next encounter with them, you had better be.
December 10, 2025 at 5:25 PM
well, it's going great for him and the fam.
December 10, 2025 at 5:11 PM
someone send them some gas masks
