The Mars Rover's last words were so "human"

 

That's so human to me. I can imagine me saying something similar when its my time. I'm tired and it's getting dark(vision fading). Almost poetic. 

Note I'm ok. Really am. Just musing out loud. Don't trip and call for a welfare check.

More fuckery in the church

 

I wonder if he's tired of playing in the face of the congregation when it comes to winning followers for Jesus. Gotta be one of the biggest legal hustles in the black community.

US Army's got a new grenade...photos by Christopher Arthur

PICATINNY ARSENAL, NJ – The U.S. Army has cleared the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade (OHG) for Full Material Release (FMR). Developed by the Capabilities Program Executive Ammunition and Energetics (CPE A&E), in conjunction with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Center at Picatinny Arsenal, the M111 OHG will replace the obsolete body and fuze of the Mk3A2 hand grenade series, marking the first new lethal hand grenade to achieve FMR since 1968 when the Mk3A2 entered service. The Mk3A2 is restricted for use due to its asbestos body unlike the M111 which utilizes a plastic body that is fully consumed during detonation. U.S. Army photo by Christopher Arthur

I don't remember a Marine Corps unit being born and then put down this fast....

U.S. Marines with  Long Range Missile Battery A, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, stand in formation during a deactivation ceremony on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 30, 2026. The battery’s deactivation is a part of broader structural changes directed by Force Design to align the Marine Corps with future warfighting requirements. 

This ladies and gentlemen is exhibit A for pathetic planning.  For a unit to be established and then deactivated in less than 3 years is brand new to me (not counting experimental).

Force Design isn't a campaign of learning.  Its devolved into desperate ploy by leadership to make a flawed concept somehow work.  The Army has long range fires covered in spades.  Eyes and ears of the joint force?  Sense and make sense? We have drones, sats and other assets for that work.

Berger fucked up and Smith is trying to back his play instead of cutting his losses and giving our nation the 911/Amphibious Assault Force it needs.

3rd combat company of the 1st RI at CETIA (French Army)

Note. I'm kinda interested in the French Army's use of its wheeled vehicles. I get the SERVAL. Its kinda a different type of JLTV. The Griffon is a different story though. I might be wrong but its an in-betweener. Not as big as a 5 ton but definitely bigger than the Serval and its payload reflects that. While it seems like a low grade APC/IFV, the French already have vehicles in that category (VBCI I'm looking at you).

At least two Marine Corps outfits are getting action in the war against Iran. Our fighters assigned to carriers and our Marine Security Guards

We keep this shit up and oil is gonna be north of 200 dollars a barrel

 

Ok. Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, the offshore of LA & TX, I guess Alaska and few northern states are gonna boom off the rise in oil prices. But the rest of the US...especially California...they're gonna get punched in the nuts. If war is politics then why would Trump do this so close to the mid terms? I support his tariffs but they've been a drag and now you add this? No way he'll get grocery prices down (especially beef since its coming from Argentina now) if the cost of transporting them goes up.

I admit.

I don't know enough about the rationale for this war to definitively be against but I can say it still feels "off".

I can say that I'm happy that it appears to be going well.

But I can also say that we need an off switch AND we need someone other than a warhawk whispering in the president's ear.

I've seen a US Army Armored Division doing rail exercises and now this?

This is pure speculation but I saw on DIVIDS a US Army Armored Division conducting rail exercises, don't recall which one. Now I'm seeing this? Again. Speculation. Oh and it will take alot more than just one AD to control a country as big as Iran....but a couple of Armored Divisions along with say the 82nd and maybe (take your pick) the 10th Mountain or even the 101st and perhaps you could control a couple of cities. Plus it would give some fantastic cover for SOCOM to run around scooping up every ounce of locatable nuclear producing products....so yeah....maybe huh?

Just a few thoughts on the Iran war so far...

 

Just a quick thought exercise on the Iran war so far...

*  With regard to the above tweet?  That's to be expected.  I would think both Russia and China are providing as much intel as possible.

*  Didn't post about it but supposedly the Chinese have already rushed war material by air to Iran.

*  Been getting reports that the 82nd called off an exercise and many are speculating that they're about to go boots on the ground.

*  I have yet to hear an end state or even goal of the war announced.  So far its kinetic operations for kinetic operations sake.  That ain't good.

*  Reports are that Israel is threatening Lebanon with further attacks if they don't Hezbollah to heel.  That govt is to weak to do so.  Additionally I've seen some Israeli "thought leaders"/defense experts claiming that Turkey is next.  THAT WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE!  Israel don't want that smoke.  Not sure they want the smoke from Hezbollah at this time.

Let me repeat.

Things appear to be going well and I'm happy about that.

I AM CONCERNED that no one has stated an end goal for this fight.  I don't hear anyone talking about an off ramp.

Additionally (and it could be censorship) but that expected popular uprising doesn't appear to be materializing.

Are we headed toward another nation building exercise?

Some of you remember the Haliburton idiocy in what now seems a different age.  I wonder if that is what the real end state could be.  Massive reconstruction contracts, tons of vets picking up security contracts (Triple Canopy must be licking their chops) and tons of regular people rushing to the new gold rush of making tax free money in a hazardous location with free flights to the sex tourist country of your choice.

Apparently I'm not alone in my dislike of Lindsey Graham

Graham is a 1000% neo-con/globalist. How he keeps getting re-elected is beyond me. I thought the time of Republicans like him was over.
