I've seen people "stalled out" on Fen and Mojo but this is beyond the pale.

How is law enforcement supposed to deal with this?

Bigger question.

How do we compete with China when we have this kinda thing going on?

Time for a back to basics movement govt wide.  We've tried drug treatment.  Didn't work.  It's time to smash this shit.  

I know.  Destroyed lives over a personal choice argument.

Looking at that and tell me that isn't having a wider economic (business destroyed in that part of town or transformed to service the needs of the bums and druggies), and health implications (probably greater than Covid...have you been to an emergency room on a Fri, Sat nite....that's why urgent cares are so popular ... at least in my area).

Past time to look after VITAL national interests only...but taking care of the mess at home should come first.

Israelis abandon the Tavor. Will issue the Western world's standard pattern rifle...the M4.

 

Another bullpup user bites the dust, apparently.

Trouble with the ACV...

via USNI

The Marine Corps ordered an immediate stop to any waterborne operation of its fleet of amphibious combat vehicles until it resolves an issue with a troubled towing mechanism, the service announced Friday afternoon.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Marine Corps has suspended waterborne operations of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) after identifying an issue with the towing mechanism. The Marine Corps is working on identifying and fixing the root cause of the problem,” Maj. Jim Stenger, a spokesman at Marine Corps headquarters, said in a statement. “Realistic training is a vital component of readiness, and the Marine Corps is committed to ensuring Marines train under the safest conditions possible; this includes ensuring the functionality of vehicles and equipment.”

From capsizing a Zodiac, swimming downstream with a rucksack, to setting up then traversing a body of water on a rope bridge… #Jungle students are continually honing their skillsets.

See the game-changing, cross-domain, cross-service concepts the Strategic Capabilities Office and @USNavy are rapidly developing: an SM-6 launched from a modular launcher off of USV Ranger. Such innovation drives the future of joint capabilities. #DoDInnovates pic.twitter.com/yCG57lFcNW
