EOS Defense Systems USA ---- R600 Missile Carrier (R600MC) RWS
Good to see them back, BUT! EOS confuses the hell outta me. They have world beating products that should have other manufacturers on their backfeet but they don't. Leadership seems solid. Engineering seems solid. Could it be word of mouth? No one talks about them (outside of Australia)...maybe they need to up their PR game?The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) with EOS' R600-Missile-Carrier (R600MC) RWS. The R600MC adds four Javelin missiles, two in each pod, to a weapon station that includes a 30x113 mm M230LF cannon and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. pic.twitter.com/JivteQ4IrA

Could a CA law requiring all big rigs to be 2011 or newer be behind the port situation?
The NEWS says the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage.

Not so fast: It is in part caused by a California Truck Ban which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer and a law called AB 5 which prohibits Owner Operators. pic.twitter.com/yYIsTQsPIe

Funny but stupid...
They're lucky they didn't die a horrible death...never fuck around with deep holes you never know what lurks down there...
Must Read! Opinion: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin must resign via Task & Purpose
via Task & Purpose.
Austin’s appointment to the top of the Department of Defense stunned those of us who had personally observed his stumbling performance as commander of U.S. Central Command.
“This is not a decision brief,” a member of the Commander’s Action Group advised me in late 2015 as I waited to update Austin on preparations for a special operations task force to take on the Islamic State group in Iraq. “So don’t embarrass him by asking for one.”
This took me by surprise because the presentation was supposed to be exactly that: a thumbs up or down on whether to proceed with a particular course of action. Instead, my carefully delivered presentation concluded in awkward silence during which Gen. Austin nodded his thanks, then sniffed and tugged at his collar but offered no guidance. Eventually one of his long-suffering staff showed me the way to the door.
“I’m sorry, Andy, but it is what it is,” he said with genuine remorse, before adding: “Hey bro, make sure you kick ass out there.” That quietly delivered exhortation was more inspiring than anything I heard from Gen. Austin during his two years in command.
