The "New" Bronco is gonna be trash....
via Jalopnik
A few months back the Blue Oval brand let us know a small off-roader was on the way in addition to the new Ford Bronco, all to better contend with Jeep. The teaser image Ford released didn’t tell us much, but recent remarks from an investor presentation appear to point towards something that is more like the Jeep Renegade and less like the Wrangler.Read the rest here and weep for Ford.
How can some many so called smart people in so many areas be fucking it all up at the same time?
Do they not know their audience?
No one wants the new Bronco to be a Jeep Renegade clone! I was once jazzed about the Bronco's reintroduction but this is pure trash.
I'm done with the "new" way of doing things. I'm done with shit being "reimagined". This will end badly for Ford and many other institutions (some I cherish). Chest thump now. Tell me I'm wrong now, but when the bill comes for your idiocy I'll be waiting. There won't be any "I told ya so" but there will be quiet satisfaction in knowing that you can't do shit easy and expect it to be good.

Wow.
I don't know which way the Army is going with the Bradley but forget survivability upgrades (for the moment). This puppy needs a lethality upgrade!
25mm cannons are so last century. Not sure if a 30, 35 or 40 makes sense but as things stand we're not keeping up with the competition.
My guess?
Go with the 30mm. Quick and easy upgrade. Tons of munition choices. Should be affordable.
Will it provide overmatch?
Nope, but at least we'll be in the game.
Space Force. A Combatant Command or a New Service???
I personally don't get it.
I thought the US was all against weaponizing space (yeah I know its already being done by others AND us). But ignoring the "visuals" I don't understand if a Combatant Command (as in Northern, Southern or CENTCOM) is being created or a new service.
Anyone KNOW the real deal?
Sidenote. The Recruiting Trail is gonna become even more brutal if this new Space Force takes in enlistees from the street. The Marine Corps is losing its luster, the Navy is the Navy, the Air Force was geek heaven and will lose its claim to fame and the Army is just hurting. The Space Force will WRECK the rest of the services.
