Did ya'll notice who was missing in this?

I watched it twice and still might be wrong but the USAF isn't represented.  Heavy on Marine and Army Infantry.  Army Aviation and Naval Aviation (Navy & Marines) got shoutouts.  A few Navy ships.

No Armor.  No Air Force Fighters, One Navy Fighter, No Coast Guard and No Mechanized Forces of any kind.

Is this messaging for a future fight in S. America and the forces that will participate?

Man! Country girls! Don't know if this is batshit crazy or undercover sexy....I'm leaning toward crazy

Veterans Day 2025

Happy Veterans Day to all that served.

Big fuck you to all that have monetized this holiday in the form of "discounts" or so called free shit that is actually a loss leader so they get Vets into stores to buy other shit.

Happy Birthday Marines!

Jonathan Karl, ABC News reports that the end of the shutdown is near

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely…

My theory on why the shutdown is about to end? Flights were being canceled. It was about the traveling public (not the vacationers but the business) that was outrage cause the FAA was starting to slow down flights and began cancelling them outright. The business community was getting pissed. One other factor is that videos and images of people on SNAP loading up buggies of food (some states stepped in, I know for a fact Louisiana did not sure the others) that most of us couldn't afford even with second jobs is not sitting well with the working class so that excuse went out the window.

Post your "bleed out" spot...

 

A lot of women don't know this, but men have mental bleed out spots. It's where we mentally escape the mundane of everyday life. Grocery shopping, paying bills, and fixing garbage disposals and things around the house. We just picture ourselves slowly bleeding out somewhere… pic.twitter.com/L5Xr4tM8K6

This is a good one.

Chinese astronauts stranded in space? Spacecraft possibly damaged by debris? NASA/Space X to the rescue?

Yeah China is the big bad. Yeah space is the next frontier in combat. Yeah they might not help us if we were in their position.

Don't care.

This is a time to shine.  I'm pretty sure they're crunching the numbers and probably will get something in the air with a quickness BUT we should be prepared if they're not.

Helping China in this situation (assuming the Russians don't beat us to it) will be a tremendous PR victory.

I hate to insult the dead but what terrible airmanship & decision making skills.

Can any pilot, especially a helo pilot, explain why ya'll always seem to want to problem solve in the air instead of just putting it on the ground? I see this constantly with the helicopter guys. Even when in a benign enivornment they want to solve it in the air instead of landing quickly.

This is how America sees us but it ain't how leadership wants us to be.

The American people see the Marine Corps as fearless warriors that take the fight to the enemy.

Force Design 2030 has us setup as a defense force across an imaginary line that no longer applies.

Two Marine Corps Regiments are used to justify changing entire Marine Corps.  That is unsat.

It ain't supposed to go this way but it does sometimes. RIP Deputy Devin Jaramillo. End of Watch 8Nov25

Update on the murder of Officer Devin Jaramillo in Kendall. Apparently the video many of us have seen is real. It's very disturbing but I will post it under a warning banner in the next reply for anyone that wants to see it. #BackTheBlue https://t.co/UTZDVdAt2t pic.twitter.com/owMWllB1C6

I guess I'm in my mad lad season cause the Strawberry Burger fascinates me....

I must be losing my mind but I'm fascinated by the strawberry burger. The horrible thing? Its not just this but other so called "specialty" burgers have caught my eye and I'm in the Pokemon gotta try them all phase. Has anyone actually tried this thing and if so how does it taste?

I despise the USMC's Stand In Force Concept but Lockheed Martin just solved the resupply problem

 

U-Hawk

🇺🇸 Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (@LockheedMartin) unveiled S-70UAS™ U-Hawk™ at #AUSA2025.

Has anyone else noticed that all the changes the USMC is making to its force structure to become more "littoral" reside on the ground side when its the air side that could most easily flex into the gap to actually make it work? Regardless, the U-Hawk will get the job done faster with smaller risk to interception (perhaps not outright destruction) than unmanned resupply boats.

This is what kills me about the current crop of Marine Corps officers. Containing China within the first island chain IS PAST THINKING! China had broken out of the first island chain at LEAST a decade ago. The USMC needs to be ready to conduct land operations, forcible entry operations and needs to gear up to fight the PLA Marines & PLA Airborne Corps around the world while our Navy fights their Navy.

Berger and now Smith are fighting a war that won't come at best and at worst will see losses on our side (talking about defending Taiwan) that will be so severe that everyone involved, especially our so called Stand In Forces will wonder WHO THE FUCK CAME UP WITH THAT SHIT!

Armored vehicle development is stalling out. Well except in S. Korea, Poland and Turkey that is. Why aren't we seeing remote weapon stations as standard worldwide in the West and Middle East? It irks the hell outta me to see someone up top manning a weapon station. Yeah I get that "air watch" is back in style but that should be automated by now.

50 year mortgage coming? Man I just don't know. You spend 20 years paying the interest?

 

Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage - a complete game changer. https://t.co/HZDPzO0qJG

Lower monthly payments but a MUCH BIGGER payment over the life of the thing? Plus the temptation to buy much more house than you need or can realistically afford? Is this just renting by another name?
