AAVs and ACVs at Camp Schwab Beach...Video by Cpl. Michael Taggart


U.S. Marines pilot Assault Amphibious Vehicles and Amphibious Combat Vehicles aboard Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 16, 2024. Amphibious operations, including the use of ship-to-shore connectors, is a foundational aspect of Marine Corps operations and is critical to remaining the Nation’s premier expeditionary force in readiness. The Marines are with 4th Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Michael Taggart)

IDF going back into Jabaliya

Finding the terror chief in that town has probably led to the conclusion that more of the leadership is located there. Possibly some hostages too but I'm beyond convinced that Netanyahu gives NO fucks about their safe return. I've read that part of IDF doctrine is to "mow the grass" periodically. From some accounts there are those in their leadership that feel that the "yard" got out of control and that it was time to bush hog the entire thing. Wild doctrine (if true). Imagine in an alternative universe where the IDF actually sought to capture at least a few of the terrorist how this would have played out. Imagine if they had captured the Hamas chief instead of killing him. An opportunity to turn this off was missed.

Political funny but still funny

Crazy way to find out what plane you're gonna fly...

Feel sorry for the guy flying the A-10. He'll only be appreciated by the troops on the ground but in the O-club he'll be considered mud. Poor bastard.

75th Ranger Regiment puts 100 round lifetime limit on firing the Carl Gustaf

Wonder what they found that made them do this. I never fired one. Is it "rough"?

The Sydney Wilson bodycam footage is disturbing...

I wonder what was wrong with her. The whole thing makes no sense. Drugs? Mental? Suicidal? Regardless the cop had no choice. Justifiable in every state in the union.

The Russian Game Called - WEREWOLF

Crashed out over stolen I-phone...

And yeah. They got him 30 min later....

Space flight seems to have come out of its slumber!

 

The advances have finally begun to accelerate again. For the longest time we rested on the work of those that came before. FINALLY we're seeing movement forward.

I know the source is questionable but if this is how Ukraine is getting its troops then Zelensky & the rest of the leadership is dead when this is over...

 

Yes. I know many consider the source questionable.

BUT we have seen enough of these type vids to know that they real.

If Ukraine is getting troops like this then Zelensky & the rest of the leadership is gonna get dead unless they flee the country after this is over.

That is a terrible look.  The war has been led badly.

For those that want to empty the West of every weapon and to give permission to Ukraine to strike any target in Russia all I have to ask is what is your end game.

Have you accounted for enemy response to those actions.  Have you considered the global implications of focusing solely on Ukraine?

We keep getting told that Russia will rampage thru Europe if Ukraine falls.  What is that based on?

I get the feeling that this whole thing is like the disinformation campaign we keep getting shoved down our throats.

If its opinion then its not disinformation.  If its facts and they're wrong then show your work.  Simply stating shit is NOT good enough.

Space X is doing more work than NASA. Is Musk the real life Tony Stark?

I'm thrilled by what I'm seeing from Space X.

Can't lie.  I'm a little worried too.

What happens when you have an advanced tech organization that isn't under the thumb of the federal govt.  Yeah I know.  We've seen the bad that comes even from that arrangement but what if that corporation goes REALLY rogue.

What if one of these high tech firms branches off into other "govt" areas.  What if they build a high tech PMC?  Establish their own mega city with a corporate run public works, law enforcement, services etc...

But most troubling.

What if this corporation actually made such a setup so attractive and so exclusive that only a very high profile (not only money but education) could live there?

With great power comes great responsibility.   

I'm cheering my ass off for Musk and Space X and the rest of his endeavors.

But I'm watching too for bad signs whatever the hell that means.

Germany halts delivery of major weapons to Ukraine...

Zelensky is grasping at straws. Instead of touring the West he should instead be fortifying his country's infrastructure for the winter.
