Saber Junction 26 Observation Day ...by Pfc. Jose Maria Martinez Magallanes
I personally believe that the Polaris MRZR as a robotic vehicle to serve with the manned variant would be ideal. For the Marine Corps that is.
Sidenote. The Combat Camera Soldier has one helluva names. FOUR names? Just wild.

So you still think that arming CURRENT teachers against school shooting is a good idea?
When I was in school arming teachers would have worked. But I come from a time when dudes had shotguns in the back window of their trucks and the schools would empty out for deer season. My point? Teachers have changed. If you've looked at the posts they put up then you know that arming the current group of teachers is a foolish idea.All the talks I have had with arming teachers - here is why I disagree. pic.twitter.com/uiP3xKHcAI

If a school district doesn't have SRO's then I really need would prefer that they hired...yeah...Veterans or retired Law Enforcement.
Carefully screened of course. Have a physical standard they maintain. And a solid background check.
That is the answer. Not arming the current crop of school teachers.

Attempted Coup in Niger was supported by France, Belgium, Chad and the UAE. Colonialism continues in Africa
What I find amazing is that the biggest "colonial power" in modern Africa isn't European countries, even the Arab and other African countries. China is the leader of the pack in this regard and no one is talking about it.Breaking News| Niger

The Navy is rebuilding its air fleet with drones.
It just dawned on me. The Navy once had on its carriers Scout/Anti-Sub planes, dedicated Attack planes (A-6), dedicated electronic attack (still does with the EA-18), dedicated fighters and dedicated fleet air defense. Its rebuilding that capability but using drones instead of manned aircraft. I just wonder when we get to the point of using a 737, or C-130 or another medium sized transport/lifter to command all the drones and your pilots are just around to transport the drone operators forward to do their thing. Stack the drones tight below decks and suddenly your airwing has 200 aircraft. 100 to fight with 100 replacements when the originals are lost to battle, lost signal, enemy jamming ... whatever.The U.S. Navy awarded Boeing a $12.7 million sole-source modification to upgrade electronic systems on the MQ-25 refueling drone.

Ground Combat Element 2040 Teaser
Ya know what the crazy thing is? In this teaser at least the GCE is still looking out to sea instead of handling the ground fight. I've looked. There was only one time in the history of the Marine Corps where the Marine Corps looked to the sea instead of winning the ground fight. When? During WW2 with the Marine Defense Battalions. Wanna know what's crazier still? The organization was remarkably similar to what is being built today and attempting to be taken Marine Corps wide.
This could have been so much easier. Aviation was the perfect tool to conduct the sea battle. Take on a couple of squadrons of EA-18Gs for the electronic fight, add an extra squadron or two to the carrier mission and assign the drone mission to the Regiment to equip a dedicated company or two when necessary and be done with it.
But they thought they were being revolutionary, weren't SMART enough to get buy in from all stakeholders and basically shit the bed.
History. an unstable world and a fickle US foreign policy all get a call and the Marine Corps didn't answer the bell with this plan.
Unofficial new Chinese turboprop tactical airlifter.
Note. I know its easier to stretch an airplane than it is to widen it, but since we've been doing new builds of the C-130 why didn't anyone bite on widening the airplane? All the STOL airplanes that I've seen are "wider" rather than being long. Just puts the European civilian passenger jets to mind. They're always tail bumping....
College Football is back (FCS)!
A massive upset on the first night of college football is so fitting.
