Imagine being on patrol and you walk across some shit like this. I understand Hicks now. Just take off and nuke it from orbit! GAME OVER! They got this going on in a piece of land we're fighting over? You take the land, we nuke you and every crazy fucked up beast on it with you and we'll land and deal with the radiation.

Artillery losses in Ukraine...why is the HIMARS unscathed and the M-777 taking heavy hits?
This is an interesting article and the title to this post is just click bait. Read the article but from my seat it appears that the Ukrainians value certain pieces of kit over others. I can't forget the vid showing a HIMARS being backed into a hardened shelter and all kinds of other vids showing M-777 with piles of shells surrounding them likes its a counter insurgency fight rather than peer vs peer.Russia has hit more than 30% of Ukraine's M-777s, and about 20% of their KRAB And M-109 Howitzers. Here's why: https://t.co/pr2ghdCzcL

Did you know that the B-2 Bomber has been grounded for 6 months now? No end to grounding is in sight either!
Alot of speculation is in the thread too, but they left one out. I think the USAF is doing a "divest to invest" ala the USMC. I believe that they're doing the calculated risk and are using this to push for even a more B-21s while not having to fund a fix/flight hours or infrastructure for the B-2.From a 25-yr Mx officer.

I can imagine a few other scenarios (USAF knows what’s wrong but $$$ to fix & no intent to correct; B-2 now seen as EWO only w/ no conventional role; pressure to expedite B-21 & new ICBM to replace B-2.

China is the world's premier maritime power.
“"By every measure but sheer naval tonnage—they've already got the numbers—China is the world's premier maritime power. There's no reason to think they aren't going to naturally develop the transoceanic naval power to go with it...”, Shugart said.” https://t.co/WIKKogGNAC

Well this is gonna go mainstream media soon. So how should the conversation go? In my opinion we should first ask how we got here.
I personally blame the war on terror.
That money pit cost us more than anyone can fully realize right now.

Suspected sabotage on HMS Glasgow
This is an unfortunate development... suspected sabotage on HMS GLASGOW, the first Type 26 frigate building at BAE Systems Glasgow for the British Royal Navy. About 60 cables were cut. Work has been paused for the investigation https://t.co/axRPdMm5Yr

The UK was within hours of conducting an airborne op into Sudan with their entire Parachute Regiment (to include reservists)
Is it just me or does it seem to that UK is much more "aggressive" lately. The conditions on the ground were obviously much worse than we all though (and I thought it was pretty bad).🟩🇬🇧 #readyforanythinghttps://t.co/zacmsNxJrx pic.twitter.com/KcYMU2DUH1

I have absolutely no sympathy for this guy but let's get real.
He's 100 fucking years old.
Does a conviction and prison time even matter at this point?
To be blunt.
He's escaped man's justice and its up to God to deal with him.

Brit supplied Storm Shadow cruise missile already in use by Ukraine
Wow. This might be a problem. They definitely need some type of office that has only one function. To decide if a target should be gone after and if so then what weapon to use. As things now stand it appears they're just burning thru all types of weaponry without a care as to rationing at least a bit of it for a rainy day...or a truly high value, time sensitive target that is worthy of a 2.2 million dollar missile.#Ukraine: Remains of 🇬🇧 UK-supplied Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles were found at today's and yesterday's missile strike sites in the city of #Luhansk- confirming this new and very potent capability is already used by Ukrainian forces. pic.twitter.com/LAn0nqJBZU

France's 13th Engineer Regiment conducting bridging ops with Griffon Mult-Role Vehicles...
The Griffon has really grown on me. Bigger than the JLTV (but the French use the Serval in that role) I don't know how it would be classified in US service. It's weight is probably a concern even though it carries 8 fully equipped soldiers (25 tons). This is an interesting vehicle. Not quite an infantry fighting vehicle, but better than a truck that's been armored up (can't forget about the fold down bench either) its quite the odd but beautiful duck. Maybe a lower cost surrogate VBCI for operations other than high intensity combat?Entrainement conjoint avec le @2eRIMa !

We spend our ammunition among other things to halt the fleeing? WTF is going on with WAGNER???
If you've been listening to Prigozhin then it sounds like the Ukrainian counter offensive has begun. Is this a distraction while they prepare to strike in other areas? Are they assuming the Russians will thin their lines to reinforce the fight around Bakhmut? This thing turned from sugar to shit for the Russians real quick. What changed? No. What's real!Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Leader of the Wagner PMC which is currently Engaged against the the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Bakhmut stated earlier today that they have had to Shoot Retreating Russian Soldiers, saying “We Spend our Ammunition, among other things, to Halt the Fleeing… pic.twitter.com/Ra5LKHdQbM

This is getting interesting. Prigozhin is saying that Russian troops are fleeing in front of a Ukrainian offensive around Bakhmut...
Wow.The head of the Wagner Group of Russian mercenaries, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, says Ukraine’s promised counter-offensive ‘is going full steam ahead’ round Bakhmut. Russian soldiers are giving ground almost without a fight, he claims. Prigozhin’s aim is to damage his Kremlin rivals.
— John Simpson (@JohnSimpsonNews) May 12, 2023
This is beyond interesting.
This Prigozhin dude is either a master at disinformation or he's a useful tool for the allies against his own nation.
Can you imagine not telling your citizens that your forces have faced a setback on the field of battle but instead that they're fleeing in front of the enemy? That sounds like a damn near rout!
But I have to wonder.
The Chechens are there. Those dudes are some brutal bastards. If I was fighting them and for some reason capture was imminent I'd consider using the last round on myself.
Fleeing in front of the enemy just don't sound like their style.
Real curious as to what's really going on.

Anytime, Anywhere | What do Marines do?
It's really a shame. Berger's total focus on only the Indo-Pac theater clouded his vision. It was obvious that he reduced the number of amphibs necessary to float Marines was just a bid to get his Landing Ship Mediums to transport his baby, the Marine Littoral Regiment. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Berger is going to leave the Marine Corps is worst shape than when he found it. He has taken the Marine Corps down an evolutionary dead end. As a change agent he failed. Instead of adding to our capabilities he's crippled the Corps. His legacy will be one of destruction. The destruction of the Marine Corps.
