Eat Like The Jacked Chef

I know you're all saying WTF!

Sorry gents. I know you're seeing everything but military stuff but news is sparse, and I just can't be bothered to chase the nuggets that are dropped across MilTwitter. Bear with it...it's got to pick up soon.

Smith & Wesson announced they are leaving Massachusetts....About damn time!

About damn time! Why a corporation would setup operations/remain in a state that is vehemently opposed to the product it sells is beyond me.

UK Crime. He used covid regulations for...“Deception, kidnap, rape, strangulation, fire.”

Read this entire thread. God bless.  That woman's last few hours on earth were probably living hell.  Its true.  Evil does walk among us and will use ANYTHING to deceive.  

Talking of evil check out what we're seeing out of Australia... Covid is bad. The cure is worse. The damage being done to the Western world is incalcuable. It will take a generation to bounce back from the decisions that are being made today. We WILL see new laws to prevent the overreach that we're seeing from the elite on this issue.

I get it.

This disease has killed many.

So does the flu.  Car accidents.  Accidents in general.  Obesity, etc..

But coercion over shots, lockdowns (house arrest) of free people and now big corporations stepping in will cause more distrust of the govt than ever.

Whoever prayed for interesting times needs to call back and ask for boredom again.

Sidenote.  It's obvious those guys haven't gone against real goons.  If they did they'd realize they don't have to go hard against little ones like that.

If this is true and/or becomes law then I'm gonna get hammered...

 

This tax would kill me. I drive more than 13.5 a year and you can bet that costs will rise if they hit the trucking companies with this tax. Good God. Gas has risen along with everything else and to top it off, I'm looking at some mighty skippy store shelves (at least in my area). It's almost like they're trying to make me a city dweller! That ain't gonna happen but this will be brutal. They're gonna force me to vote not out of ideology but simply to save what little money I have!

Anyone have good visibility on this?  I've seen that the fact checkers are saying that it won't be put into effect...YET!  Any other news on this????

USNS Brunswick @ Exercise Noble Jaguar 2021

Wow. If only these things could put gear across a beach! Shipping is the achilles heel of this EABO concept. The Navy is all onboard with the concept but needs to shore up its battle fleet before allocating more resources to the gator navy.

It all comes down to prioritizes and calculated risk.  My guess is that the Navy is calculating that it can wait a bit before buying the LAW.

The problem? 

The entire dynamic in the Pacific could change by 2030 rendering this concept obsolete.

Independence Class LCS as Hight Speed Transports?

 

via USNI News.
The idea comes as the Navy looks for ways to employ the Littoral Combat Ships – which are now entering the fleet in high numbers – and the Marine Corps pursues a Light Amphibious Warship to shuttle Marines around the island chains. The Navy has struggled with the LCS mission packages – envisioned as a way to swap three different types of mission sets within the ship. But the service has only deployed an LCS with a version of the surface warfare mission package, as developing and fielding the anti-submarine warfare and mine countermeasure packages has been delayed.

“The LCS – the mission is not completely clear. And so I think the Navy is looking at this as a way to provide an additional mission for the LCS to do,” Hudson Institute senior fellow Bryan Clark, a former submariner who previously worked on the chief of naval operations staff, told USNI News.

“It would help the Navy get more value out of the LCS and make those deployments more impactful,” Clark added. “And then it would help them on the financial side because it would give them a way to mitigate that the LAW may be slow in coming or may not ever come at all.”

Here 

I like this idea.  I once pushed for this idea (but not as part of the EABO concept...I pushed it as part of my Reinforced MEU concept).

But make no mistake about it.  It's suboptimal.  It could even be called less than a half measure.

Which leads back to this whole thing.

We still don't see how the LAW and LPD/LHA/LHD would co-exist. The Navy can't grow crews on trees.

Which leads to the real canary in the coal mine.

It's obvious that the Navy has bigger fish to fry than getting the Marines the LAW.  It's obviously more concerned with its surface, subsurface and air fleet than it is with pushing for a new ship for the Marines.

Now I ask you all.

If the LAW doesn't come online then how do you make the EABO a thing?  If the Independence Class LCS is the ride for Marines in the Littorals then how does it offload HIMARS/NEMISIS?

Kinda patting myself on the back.  If you recall I stated that the LAW would be the shatterpoint for this thing.  I doubted that the Navy would saddle up to pay for another ship that the Marines had "figure out how to use" and it looks like the time might be now.

The Marines moved before the Navy while at the same time trying to tie itself to its hip.

We've been burned by doing this before and it looks like it might be happening again.

Ain't interservice politics grand?
