The US Army's IFPC. Great magazine capability but it needs to be MOBILE only. Static positions means it will be killed. Leave it on trucks!

Yeah boys. Keep it on trucks and stop putting it on the ground. Even if you move it a couple of miles a day at least its moving. A static target is a target that WILL be killed. Same goes for its radar too!

The Polish Winged Hussars are badass.

I wonder why the Poles don't chest thump about this part of their history. Don't get me wrong. WW2 was tragic, a betrayal and renewal (I guess) all wrapped in one but the battle that the Winged Hussars were in is epic and legendary. Legendary I tell ya! Sorry guys I'm kinda stuck on this one. These guys acted as modern shock troops or at the very least delivered SHOCK ACTION to enemy forces in the same way tanks are supposed to!

A couple of things had me curious about these dudes.

The first is the poles.  How the hell could they carry those long lances (Google AI says they were 15 to 20 feet long) while at a full gallop?  Well the answer was pretty ingenious.  The lances were hollowed out and designed to break on hard impact with the enemy.  In a kind of replay back to the Spartan era they were designed to bypass the frontline troops and strike those in the rear.

The next thing was what's the deal with the wings?  Again, according to Google AI, there are a couple of theories.  They made the riders appear larger.  They made a "sound" that frightened enemy horses and troops.  They were a defense against lassos that some of the enemy troops employed against horsemen.

I've tried to do a roll call of historians and this is another one of those battles that claims to have saved christianity from being extinguished in Europe.

Long short?  Much to my amazement, it appears that christianity and the muslims have been at war for at least 1000 years if not much much more.

The difference between today and back then?  Christianity was much stronger as was the call to arms.  I think the message is muddled because of modern sensibilities but I have to wonder what percentage of Christians and Muslims see this as a continuation of a long fight or if things have indeed changed.

MINERVA 2026

Marine Corps News agrees with me. BRING BACK THE RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE!

 Note.  If we've learned nothing then we've learned that overseas bases are vulnerable.  Not only to drones and ballistic missiles but also terrorist attacks. Check this out via Marine Corps News on FaceBook.

Relocating all forward-deployed U.S. military personnel to domestic installations generates immediate, localized economic stimulus and strategic political clarity. By shifting overseas housing allowances, cost-of-living adjustments, and base operations contracts back to the Continental United States (CONUS), hundreds of thousands of service members concentrate their purchasing power directly within domestic municipalities. This influx drives a strong local economic multiplier effect, boosting housing, retail, and service sectors while fueling construction projects surrounding expanded U.S. bases. Strategically, pulling troops out of foreign garrisons drastically cuts foreign political friction, eliminates base-access disputes with host nations, and simplifies institutional oversight, allowing the Pentagon to standardize force training and depot-level maintenance within centralized, unconstrained stateside facilities.

To execute this retrenchment without surrendering global reach, the defense apparatus must replace physical presence with a high-capacity rapid mobility triad capable of projecting power from the homeland on demand. This logistical offset demands a massive expansion of heavy strategic airlift fleets, next-generation aerial refueling tankers, high-speed sea connectors, and maritime prepositioned stocks—floating armories loitering in international waters loaded with heavy armor and artillery. Under this global cavalry model, CONUS-based alert units can fly into an operating theater within 24 to 72 hours and marry up with sea-based equipment without maintaining a permanent footprint on foreign soil. However, the operational viability of this system hinges on seamless overflight permissions, landing rights, and regional staging access—diplomatic guarantees that become vastly more difficult to negotiate and sustain once permanent U.S. presence and security guarantees are withdrawn.

FRT's are cool toys but in a real gunfight I think they're just wasteful

I don't know if its cause I've always been drilled on aimed fire, or if it's that I'm responsible for every bullet but FRT's might be fun but in a real gunfight is just plain trash.
