I never realized it but Michael Jordan just learned to shoot at the bottom of his arc (going down) instead of at the apex of it. Hang time was a lie

Most of ya'll already knew this but after watching these highlights of MJ shooting he just did it different. He learned how to shoot at the bottom of his arc (going down) instead of at the apex of his shot. Something small I know but it made him millions. What I can't figure out is why hasn't anyone duplicated this? Is it because 3 point shooting became such a thing? I really don't know, not much of a basketball thing but this just dawned on me.

Almost every conspiracy theory is coming true....the witnesses are coming forward with regard to Diddy's "parties"

 

Is anyone paying attention to the claims against Diddy or is it just me? That dude was the walking, talking DEVIL! His fall from grace has been fast as hell (pun intended). The crazy thing is that Beyonce is getting called out on this shit. The entire rap industry is about to die...I will shed no tears but I never thought it would end because of all things child rape. Drugs, guns? Yeah. Child rape with all the grouppies hanging around basically begging to be used? AMAZING!

Zelensky is ass hurt....gonna talk to Biden and not Trump about joining NATO

I saw this coked out freak in France with Macron. He is a pathetic little man and he has led his country badly. I pray to GOD that Ukraine isn't admitted to NATO. Assad had to flee his country? So should Zelensky. Will he ever learn that dressing in military garb doesn't make you a military leader???

WTF did Saudi Arabia do? Are we really back to the Shia vs Sunni mess?

Want to see us back in the middle east with a vengeance? Let the head choppers go after Saudi Arabia! Everyone focuses on Israel but unless extreme circumstances arise we aren't sending our boys there. The same can't be said for Saudi Arabia. Let them face a hybrid insurgency type force and you'll see Army Divisions, the entire SOCOM and probably a couple of Fleets and Air Expeditionary Wings sent to protect the Kingdom. As always money talks.

We have an advantage over the Chinese because our last combat experience was captured on someone's IPhone

 

Ok. So you turn the Marine Corps into a sensing platform for the sea battle and we have recent combat experience with that? Oh and that's assuming that aircraft, UAVs, sats or subs couldn't do a better job? These guys are still tripping over each other trying to sell the unsellable. Future warfare will be nothing like what we've seen if two peer nations engage in the fight...especially if its China vs USA.

Thoughts on the fall of the Assad regime?

 Just wondering what people are thinking about the fall of the Assad regime.

What I found interesting is that ...

1.  Netanyahu is linking this to Iran and taking credit for helping the fall by interdicting the supply lines.

2.  Incoming talking heads that are linked to the Trump administration (yeah the usual suspects) are already on the war talk and saying that now is the time to strike (can't believe that shit but there you have it).

What says you guys?

Our failure in Syria is complete...Damascus has fallen and terrorist now control a vast swath of territory...

 

Was informed by Noble and S300v4 that Damascus had fallen. Amazing how battlefield failures turn into complete routs in the Middle East isn't it. I don't know who to blame for our Syria policy but their failure is complete and since they SUPPOSEDLY were acting on behalf of the US then that means OUR failure is complete.

Israel, Turkey and Iraq better watch out.  Shit is about to get real spicy for them.  Those base camps we have in country better be dialing up some extraction under fire plans too.

I guess the 82nd is getting dialed up for some action.  SOCOM is already playing there...an MEU is basically useless now so options are few.

I guess the guys on the ground (I include those in Iraq too) better hold on and hope Navy and Air Force power can keep the bad guys at bay.

Trump basically says it ain't our business

 

I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE WAR IN SYRIA. NEVER UNDERSTOOD OUR ROLE. NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WE WERE THERE.

Murder of Logan Melgar

 via Wikipedia

...investigation of SEAL Team Six, which named the two members who were persons of interest in the homicide and initially focused on analyzing their conflicting statements regarding Melgar's death. While they had stated that Melgar had been intoxicated on the evening of his death, he was determined to have no drugs or alcohol in his system when he died. Melgar was further determined to have had his throat and upper body mutilated in an apparent attempt at a tracheotomy. The two Navy SEALs stated that they found Melgar unconscious and not breathing and that they tried to perform an emergency tracheotomy on him. Upon investigation, one of the men involved subsequently stated that Melgar was choked during a "hazing" attempt gone wrong, in which Melgar was to be strangled to unconsciousness, tied up, and sexually assaulted on video.[5]

A continued focus of the investigation was allegations that Melgar had discovered that the two SEALs had stolen cash earmarked for paying local informants and that he had told the two that he would report that. The two SEALs denied this allegation.[6]

Here

Ya know what the worst thing is about all these small wars that SOCOM is involved in worldwide (I include CIA Direct Action Teams in this shit too)?

So much cash floating around that it corrupts everyone involved.

The craziest thing about this? They went with the excuse that it was a botched sexual assault and thought that would see them thru!  Oh and there are a couple of sexual assaults from this outfit that would curl the hair on your bald head and DEMAND that none of your female relatives or friends even think about joining the military (hint...one case of a rape involving the victim's face being punched into goo).

Do you know how much weird shit SEAL TEAM 6 got drawn into during the war on terror?   

I know when things went south for the SEAL TEAMs.  I forgot his name but way back when fitness videos were the hotness.  A Navy SEAL made one, went to work with Black Water and ended up hung from a bridge.

That suddenly made SEALs famous (but wait...more was to come).  Then you had dudes writing all kinds of books.  Book writing isn't isolated to the SEALs but they flooded the zone.

Then the last thing that caused the SEALs to go sideways was the freaking "head bullfrog" (something like that) being appointed SOCOM Chief and they got Bin Laden.

The building and then exploding fame almost wrecked those guys.

They bounced back nicely but they definitely had a rough patch.

Every outfit has rough patches.  The good ones learn from the mistakes (they damn sure don't forget them), figure out what went wrong and move forward smartly.

I think the SEALs are doing that...but Africa is a motherfucker.  Corruption is everywhere and SEALs are in the middle of that hookin' and jabbin' with the Wagner remnants.

Let's hope another group of them don't go native and sully the name again.

DOGE Advisor Ron Paul is seeking to shake up international money laundering!

 

Let's speak the truth. Everyone cries for the Palastinians but no one EVER questions where the millions of dollars go. Palestinian leadership live in luxury while the people live in squalor. Why say all that? To put a little firepower behind my idea that foreign aid is just high level money laundering. The rich get richer with the scheme and the poor get poorer. Name one country that has received lavish amounts of foreign aid from the US, EU...anyone that was poor and moved toward being a developed country.

Robots are beginning to disrupt some high paying civilian jobs. When is it the military's turn?

Forgive me for saying this, but for the life of me I don't understand why we build manned bombers anymore. I don't understand why we still build manned CARGO (as in NOT carrying humans) planes. Port workers are feeling the pain of robotics. Soon that will spread all across the manufacturing base. Baby steps are even being made into long distance trucking (a couple more decades to get that right though) and even medicine.

Men will always be on the field of battle fighting, but the number of men will surely or SHOULD surely decrease in the future.

I mean it just makes sense.

More combat engineers, mechanized infantry: IDF Ground Forces lays out future plans

via The Times Of Israel (story here)

In addition to the new combat engineering battalion and expanding Yahalom, the Ground Forces said it would also begin to train infantry forces to carry out simple explosive-related engineering tasks, to free up the combat engineers.

The Ground Forces also seeks to train all of the IDF’s infantry forces to use armored vehicles and become mechanized infantry brigades. Currently, only the Givati and Golani brigades are considered mechanized infantry, while the Nahal Brigade is in the process of adopting more advanced armored personnel carriers.

Geez.

The Israelis still don't get it.  


 Until peace comes they're gonna be operating in a highly urbanized environment.  Bulldozers are nice and a D9 can level damn near anything (given time) but you need heavy firepower up close that can put pain on the enemy instead of poking holes in concrete.

They need to develop a big gun for "engineering" purposes.


Did you know you can buy a robot dog off of E-Bay TODAY!!!!!

Tunnels.  Hamas likes tunnels.  Why send your forces down tunnels when you can send a robot.  Don't like dogs then a small quad rotor.  Send something other than people.

Oh and by flooding the zone with robot dogs you can probably fill the gaps in that weird, tragic and probably preventable idiocy that occured on Oct 7 (assuming you believe that Israeli leadership wasn't properly warned).

Back on task.

One part of the article is puzzling.

Making everyone mech?  I wonder if that has something to do with how they plan to stage their forces.  One of the big chest thumping things the IDF was pushing was how the Eitan was able to quickly respond to the crisis and engage the enemy.

More vehicles for everyone?  Don't get that but oh well.  Why have Namers and Eitans if you're gonna make everyone motorized as well?
