Female Marines are getting carried away. Actions have consequences!
via Military.com
In order to make some extra money to pay bills and help her child, a single mom and Marine reservist said she created an account that sold sexual videos and photos of herself online.Story here.
The Marine said she now has to stop the account because a subscriber took the videos and pictures off her page and started distributing it to Marines in Twentynine Palms, California, during an large division exercise.
This is the latest complaint of Marines sharing intimate videos and pictures of female service members without their permission. The Marine Corps has taken a harsh stance against the sharing of intimate pictures or videos without the owner’s consent since the Marines United scandal broke in 2017.
Let's be actual and factual.
You want to be a sex worker and then don't want it to be known that you're a sex worker by your colleagues?
BULLSHIT!
I have absolutely NO SYMPATHY for this female Marine. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
Quite honestly she should be pleased. This is free advertising. Guys will probably seek out her video and her income stream will increase.
Crying and bitching about something that you've done is silly at best. DEAL WITH IT!
Rant over.
It will be interesting to see how the powers that be at HQMC react to this. IF ANY MARINE FACES SANCTIONS over her video being passed around should immediately hire a lawyer and bang back.
Ok. Now I'm done.
This lizard is a monster!

CH-47D with upgraded engines...

And just like that, sales of the CH-53K got throat stomped. I mean seriously! Why pay for a 100 million dollar a piece helicopter when you have one at a third of the price that begins to approach the same lift capabilities?
The Commandant said to challenge all previous assumptions right?
I challenge anyone to explain why we MUST have a 100 million dollar helicopter! I want to know how often we will carry outsized loads that actually require the extra capability that the CH-53K offers!
If you can't do it easily...if you have to "reach" then the whole thing needs to be rethought.
Want a real return to Marine Corps values?
Then we do more with less. That means that "gucci" anything needs to be properly assessed to determine its REAL value to our Corps and nation!

S-500 has been tested in Syria against the F-35?
via National Interest.
A defense industry source told Russian news outlet Izvestia last month that the S-500 recently underwent field testing in Syria, where the Russian Aerospace Forces continue to maintain a significant presence. The Russian Defense Ministry unequivocally denied that the S-500 was ever on Syrian soil in an October 2 statement, claiming that “there was no need” for further testing.Story here.
Despite the S-500’s imminent release, official specifications details remain as elusive as ever. Still, years of industry insider leaks, scattered developer commentary, and Russian reporting combine to give us a coherent picture of what to expect from the S-500. With a widely expected maximum operating range of 600 km and a system response time of 3 to 4 seconds, the S-500 reaches a whopping 200km farther and is around 6 seconds faster to respond than its S-400 predecessor. Underlining its strategic role, the S-500’s 77N6 and 77N6-N1 missiles can intercept hypersonic cruise missiles and ICBMs, as well as aerial targets flying at a speed of over 5 Mach. The manufacturer, Almaz-Antey, claims that the S-500 can even strike low-orbit satellites and certain types of spacecraft in near space, though it remains to be seen if the S-500 will face a performance trade-off when operating at such extreme altitudes. Formidable as it is in isolation, the S-500 can also complement existing systems such as the S-400 and S-300 by expanding Russian airspace and providing a further layer of defense against saturation strikes.
Unsurprisingly, the S-500 is being branded as a silver bullet against stealth fighters in general and the F-35 in particular. As previously covered by The National Interest, Almaz-Antey head engineer Pavel Sozinov asserted that the S-500 is a “blow against American prestige,” that “system neutralizes American offensive weapons, and surpasses all of America’s much-hyped anti-air and anti-missile systems.”
Don't know exactly WHAT is going on but something is. WTF do I mean? Well the F-35 has been sent to the Middle East but has yet to show up over Syria sporting the US flag on its side.
Either the Russian's air defenses are proving a deterrent, we're worried about giving away information on the plane or both is immaterial.
Something is keeping the plane out of the area and even with those stealth negating devices they slap on the fuselage they're still not participating in this war.
