Crazy that Youtube's new way of counting views (counting the moment the video starts playing) has resulted in a 3 times view count inflation over the original method (now displayed as "Engaged Views" in the back-end). This has turned a normally 10 of 10 video into a 1 of 10

By using lethal means to stop narco vessels in SOUTHCOM, the U.S. has completely ruined its ability to hold the high ground when Iran does the same in Hormuz. We view these artificial theaters as separate when they’re not. There’s no plan, let alone a strategy.

Idea for Kaiserreich (fiction): New York National Guardsman (New England). It uses pre-1917 division designations & assumes state regimental designations are maintained as the US didn't enter in WW1. Anglo-Canadians prop up New England, so he has pouches for Lewis gun pans

First in awhile, but the USMC Airdrome Battalion was a shortlived unit based on the Marine Defense Battalion but without the Coast Artillery Group. Their ultimate mission would be to protect airfields inland and in particular those in the China-Burma Theater before the airfields were overran.

If they want to abandon our allies they should just say it instead of using LinkedIn speak like "rightsize", a corpo euphemism for "layoff 5,000 employees for no real reason other than short-term greed"

From US European Command's Twitter: @DeptofWar
officials notified Allies the U.S. would rightsize its contributions to the @NATO Force Model, consistent with the burden sharing direction in the 2026 National Defense Strategy and the Department’s vision for a “NATO 3.0.”
