LA County Scanner...Prayers Up on this one....
Think Defence Twitter Page reveals in one pic thread just how old the Boxer IFV really is..
My favourite image, the three ages of Boxer as reflected by the sign at Telford, many opportunities missed, only to be grasped at the point BAE is a minority in a German owned joint venture. What a 20 year long travesty pic.twitter.com/3F42emqsIO

The Boxer program extends all the way back to when Alvis Vickers was a thing? For the uninitiated that was comparatively ages ago. I think the Soviet Bear still roamed the world!
Quick Hit. Trump might have been batshit crazy but he didn't radiate weakness like Biden is...
SNAFU! Quick Hits are just a few quick thoughts that I toss to ya'll for debate. Usually information is just coming in and that info will evolve. Participate at your own risk but we're in the land of INTENSE speculation on these topics (usually).
Wow.
Did you guys see the news? Someone (most think the Israelis) just smoked the top Iranian Nuclear Scientist like a cheap cigar in a seedy hotel with a 5 cent hooker between his legs after a long night of drinking.
No missiles.
No poison.
Old fashioned run up on a car, switch your rifle to fun and cut loose. Quite honestly it looks like some Ranger Battalion shit.
But back on task.
I'm thinking the Israelis are cleaning up their neighborhood and doing their best to slow down the Iranian nuclear program and sending a message to the Iranians at the same time.
The million dollar question.
Did Trump know (did the Israelis inform us before the operation) and did we provide support in anyway?
I just don't know.
What I do know is that we might be on the edge of terrorism rising dramatically in the near term. We could see this ongoing regional war in the Middle East/North Africa increase in ferocity and while the economy will roar back I think we could see another oil shock with activity in the Persian Gulf disrupting shipping.
I really do believe 2020 was bad but 2021 will be worse...both internationally and domestically.
This is just the prologue to a fucked up year.

This is some evil shit in Australia over a damn mask...

I'm so glad my Sheriff has us steering away from enforcing any of this stuff. Any leader of a security force, police/sheriff's dept or even private security would be well advised to avoid this.
For better or worse this is becoming a polarising issue. The genie is out of the bottle and the chance to build consensus has passed. There are just some people that will refuse to comply.
We have bigger fish to fry than to get into pissing matches over this issue.
Before it's over (and maybe it's already happened) someone is gonna be killed by an act of violence over this foolishness.
Marine Corps short 6 infantry battalions
Note. Read the entire article but these are the parts that caught my eye...via Marine Corps Times.
The biggest hurdle for the Marine Corps to overcome in future fights is its size, according to the report.
By analyzing every fight the Marine Corps has been involved with since the Korean War, Wood estimated the Corps would need 15 infantry battalions, along with the supporting force, to be effective.
----------
Under that assessment the Marine Corps with “only” 24 infantry battalions would have received an overall grade of “weak.”
In 2020 Wood accepted the Marine Corps’ insistence that it is a one-war force with an added crisis response mission. Under the new evaluation the estimated requirement was lowered by Wood to 30 infantry battalions and the Corps score was moved up to “marginal.”
----------
“There is a potential for the Navy, acting as the anchor, the drag, that keeps the Marine Corps from realizing what it needs to be,” Wood said.
“But it is also possible the success the Marine Corps has in developing and proving these new concepts pulls the Navy forward.”
Like I said.
READ THE WHOLE THING FOR YOURSELF!
The most stunning part of the thing to me? Enlisted boatspaces are taking a dramatic hit and while that is being accelerated we're seeing officer slots increase!
At this rate we're gonna have officers commanding squads....
Cold Weather AAV Life-Fire Range
Note. Really don't get this. By rights we should be seeing the ACV platoon operating here. By rights (assuming I'm correct and the AAV/ACV are heading out the door) we should be seeing JLTVs, small boat raids, and tons of Marine Raiders in cold weather gear lasing targets for missiles/aircraft. More digging around the interwebs to see if they're actually testing Berger's concept (if they are then you can bet body parts you highly value that it will be HIGHLY SCRIPTED with a predictable outcome).
