Is the Deputy SecDef really saying this shit about why the Pentagon can't pass an audit????

Elon Musk is raising awareness that the Deputy Secretary of Defense is saying the reason the DoD can’t pass an audit isn’t due to “fraud and abuse”

OHH REALLY?? Tim Burchett says if anyone were to leak where the money goes when The Pentagon fails their audits, they’d be murdered… https://t.co/DAaDKc87cv pic.twitter.com/W5jLoRqgDq

The plan is to fire all govt workers that don't show up for work on Mon. I guess they have to make formation too!

Stephen Miller confirms that all federal employees who don't show up to the office on Monday WILL BE FIRED.

"If you refuse to come back to the office, you're going to be laid off. Why would federal taxpayers be subsidizing Netflix watching at home?"

France's GIGN are some mad lads that aren't talked about enough...

The GIGN’s 2 intense shooting exercises: the coordination shot, where the commander is surrounded by targets & the trust shot, where a teammate is fired at while wearing a bulletproof vest

Everyone is ignoring the obvious question. USAID funded illegal immigration into US. What was the govt's plan for this?

 

Under Biden, agencies like FEMA, USAID, HHS, DHS, and the State Department paid BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to NGOs to fund the Illegal Immigration Industrial Complex.

One NGO, Global Refuge, made $207,097,711 in revenue in 2022. 87 PERCENT of that was your tax dollars.… pic.twitter.com/CC34oZ9DVQ

The question in the title. What was the plan? Allowing unfettered immigration into a country can essentially destroy it at worst and destablize it at best. But no one is asking WHY THEY FUNDED THIS! No one is calling out the NGOs involved. No one is asking USAID officials why. Now we're left with the aftermath that needs to be cleaned up. If we don't know the why's behind this scheme then we risk it happening again. That is all.

My failed attempt at military fiction.

 I talked about my failed attempt at writing some military fiction.  It fizzled but I might try again.  Here are parts 1, 2 & 3.  Don't laugh too hard...

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Second battle of Chosin, 2037

Where have all the good military fiction writers gone? Growing up we had tons of guys writing about future warfare with the scenario of how a battle against the USSR would play out. Many of them were damn near required reading. The greats are gone and no one is around to pick up the mantle. I even tried writing about a fight in Africa but couldn't round it out and it fizzled. Might have to pick it back up and try again.

Are all the wheeled combat vehicles we're seeing today just variations on the theme of the gear we saw in the 60's and 70's?

I thought they had tips where the corruption was. It was simpler than that. They checked to see who was violating Trump's executive orders

🚨JASON CALACANIS: "How USAID got to the top of the DOGE list is that Trump decided to pause Foreign Aid for 90 days -- reasonable enough. A couple days later the White House said this USAID leadership was trying to circumvent this Executive Order. That alerted the DOGE team and… pic.twitter.com/r6ZnaYkQ4D

Guy, not a student, walks into a classroom at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, CA

Should have been two fights. First with the suspect and next with the partner that did NOTHING once the fight was on.

Patria has a new passive radar out. That's great but what happened to the USAF giving us air dominance?

 via Patria Press Release

The passive radar is invisible to the enemy

Patria MUSCL can provide 360-degree surveillance up to hundreds of kilometers away, making it well-suited for air surveillance and border control. Surveillance can also be focused on a specific target to protect critical infrastructure. 

– The main advantage of the passive radar system is that it does not produce any signal trace itself. Thus, Patria MUSCL is practically invisible to enemy signal intelligence, says Aaro Malila, Product Manager at Patria. 

The signals sent by traditional radars immediately reveal their operation and location to the enemy's electronic surveillance sensors. In the worst case, it can take only a few seconds to locate, after which the enemy can target the radar with electronic jamming or direct fire.

Advanced signal processing detects targets

Patria MUSCL utilizes existing radio signals in the environment for its measurements. Typically, these are broadcast signals from radio or television stations. By using these, the radar can calculate the location and movement of an airborne target by comparing the signals reflected from the target with those that have traveled directly. 

The system can simultaneously track over a hundred targets.

– Due to its operating principle and low frequencies, Patria MUSCL has better capabilities to detect stealth targets compared to traditional radar, Malila notes. 

The shapes and surfaces of stealth aircraft are designed to scatter the signals of traditional surveillance radars so that they do not return to the radar receiver. In the case of Patria MUSCL, since the radar receivers are located in different places than the transmitters, scattering the reflections away from the transmitter does not provide as much benefit.

– The ability to detect stealth aircraft is improved by the fact that Patria MUSCL also utilizes signals with lower frequencies than traditional radars, Malila explains.

Here 

This is all well and good but what happened to the vaunted air dominance that the USAF provided.

Oh and don't be fooled.  The USAF has played a role in killing several US Army anti-air systems.  The reason?  If it flies the USAF would kill it.

I'm sure someone knows the new paradigm cause I don't.

Are ground forces now told to protect themselves from anything below 2K feet to the ground?

If so then what about surface skimming cruise missiles?  Drones I get but the bigger ones that fight at distance fly at the same altitude as jets?  Is there a dedicated aerial platform designed to hunt down loitering drones etc...
