Looking forward to his next announcement of Liberty being the premier destination for O-4s to complete their ILE time.

I'm waiting for the NRA's strenuous objection to an American being executed by the federal government for exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

Trump and the Special Operations Panacea - Foreign Policy Research Institute Donald Trump has shown that he is no exception to the history of US presidents looking to special operations to solve their national security problems. Within

The use of special operations forces requires coherent strategy from civilian decision makers. My latest for @fpri.bsky.social

Provided my quick thoughts on the Venezuela raid to @fpri.bsky.social

Should’ve let CAG run the Afghanistan withdrawal. With some B-2s overhead of course.

People should watch Altuve when he's on base or holding someone on 2nd. Opposing players always smiling and joking with him - he's adored by everyone who actually plays the game, other than the Yankees and Dodgers, entitled franchises known to be amongst the worst of the sign stealers in the 2010s

It’s like clock work. We’ll pay him most of that money to go away after they go 6-6 next year

Great timing for this to happen after throwing another gazillion dollars at a head football coach

McAfee has no business providing any type of analysis next to any of the other guys. Saban has been a pleasant surprise. Clearly happy in his retirement gig.

Feels like we need a support group. I’m probably going to learn another language or some random shit like that.

The major will be lecturing the generals on:
- why company command is overrated
- actually you don't need to try Ranger School as an infantry officer
- Half a pushup is just as good as a full pushup

Just remember, it took having 90% of the team spending extensive time on the IL at some point during the season and multiple breakings of Yordan to keep us from winning the West. No one has it worse than us when it comes to boo boos and ouchies.

HBO bought the rights to make a series out of it. Unfortunately, he is indeed cashing in.

He has published stuff that I know 100% is false. I’m not sure what delta did to him, but he’s got an obvious vendetta against the unit and opts for sensationalism vs fact. Now he’s cashing it in and riding the hype.

Should’ve traded him like they did Tucker.

Can we revisit the β€œshould they trade Framber at the deadline” conversation on the next pod? (Only half joking).

GWOT rotted the brains of not only a large number of people who participated in it, but also quite a few who didn't.

Everyone knew they were going play action there to ice the game. Except the Texans defense apparently.

The real problem is that Manfred is a dumb enough sunuvabitch that he would think it’s a good idea.

Reddick’s wearing a normal jacket too. Definitely gone corporate.
