3D printing along with intense knowledge of weapons is gonna kill gun control...

When you got people able to do this kinda shit then gun control is a failed idea. I've seen 3D printed glock switches so the rabbit is out the trap. He's fleeing with speed so ain't no catching him again. We're microns away from the Wild Wild West days where everyone carries a gun out of necessity. We either make a severe turn to law and order or citizens will do it themselves.

Myanmar military gets caught in a pretty vicious ambush...

React to ambush when motorized is vital. Wonder why they don't at least have someone in a turret manning a 50. Could they have thought they were in a safe area?

USAF activates CHAMP missiles....thought this program was dead

Thought this program was dead. If this is true then they took it black which makes me wonder why word would get out now.

Chowder II is working and the Force Design freaks are losing bad...

 via Real Clear Defense...

First, Chowder II’s actions in the media either intentionally or inadvertently undermine the legitimacy of active Marine Corps leaders, particularly in their efforts to implement Force Design. These retired members leverage their considerable status and influence within the organization, directly challenging Commandant Smith and impairing his ability to lead effectively. This form of "helicopter grandparenting" creates significant discord and uncertainty within the active and reserve ranks of the Marine Corps, compromising the integrity and execution of the Corps' strategic vision.


Second, the public dissent from Chowder II potentially discourages innovation across the organization. General Charles Krulak, a purported member of Chowder II, emphasized the importance of taking innovative risks, noting that “The Marine Corps has never been unwilling to look foolish to the crowd.” However, when the Marine Corps attempts to overhaul its forces through modernization efforts, Chowder II openly criticizes the move. Under these circumstances, what motivates members and leaders to pursue innovative ideas? Ostensibly, Chowder II members exert their positions to maintain and leverage influence over the organization that they previously led. This criticism creates a bottleneck effect. Innovators fear public backlash for their ideas and actions, institutionalizing doubt toward innovative concepts. As a result, innovators chose to hold their ideas in rather than share them. This public opposition not only demotivates members from proposing new ideas but also casts a shadow of doubt over their endeavors, fostering a conservative atmosphere that deters risk-taking. Such a climate severely limits the Marine Corps' ability to adapt to new challenges and diminishes its overall effectiveness and agility.


Finally, the outspoken opposition from the group further exacerbates recruitment challenges for the Marine Corps. Military services are increasingly struggling to recruit and retain service members. A significant factor contributing to this decline is the eroding public trust in the military, which is only worsened by public disputes like those involving Chowder II. Such conflicts, aired openly on the internet, portray the perception of the Marine Corps as disjointed and unstable. These actions potentially deter prospective recruits from joining an organization seemingly mired in internal discord.

Here 

I take issue with many things said in this puff piece for Force Design 2030 and the idiots that proposed it.

1.  They did it in secret and they did it without output from those outside the room.  They didn't get buy in which is change agent one oh one.  They had an idea and thought that they could ram it thru.  They were wrong and now try and guilt trip everyone into supporting their bullshit.

2.  Force Design 2030 was over the top.  It stripped the Marine Corps of vital capabilities.  They talk about a second land army? They talk about being eclipsed by Army capabilities?  ITS HAPPENING WITH FORCE DESIGN 2030!  The Marine Corps makes its chops by being an Amphibious Force.  By being a Force In Readiness.  By being able and willing to fight anywhere, anyplace at anytime.  Force Design 2030 threw that away and concentrated on one region, against one foe and focused on one scenario.  They were fools and now they know that.

3.  They talk about the tarnished relationship.  THEY DID THAT WITH THEIR OVER RIDING ARROGANCE.  They arrogantly spout about "those with skin in the game"?  Are you fucking kidding me?  What happened to once a Marine always a Marine?

Long story short?  

Berger and the Force Design 2030 advocates broke the bond.  They were secretive in their planning for this, demanding in their roll out to such an extent that they made those that were briefed on it sign non-disclosure statements, so restrictive that even at Command & Staff Schools the Commandant shows up and says to his Majors that since he's paying for their schooling they OWE HIM THEIR SUPPORT IN FORCE DESIGN 2030????

They broke the bond.

They acted like bandits in the night.

They tried to push forward a flawed concept because one man had a command in the Pacific and forgot the rest of the world existed.

Now they want peace when they started the war?  They want "family" when they turned their backs on the very people that WANT to support them when they're right but have the love of Corps to tell them when they're WRONG????

Fuck those bastards forever.

They can all eat shit and die.

Oh and here's a screen shot of one of the proponents of this clusterfuck in all his arrogant glory.

Once a Marine always a Marine don't apply for this sorry fuck. We don't have skin in the game today so we don't count?

Yeah bitch.  EAT SHIT AND DIE.

Challenger 3 appears to have gained some weight....she's one thicc bitch now!

What's she weighing now? 75 maybe 80 tons combat loaded? This never was the fastest tank but I wonder what the weight will do to the mobility.

WTF is going on in Myanmar????

 

I did not know they had an insurgency going on over there. Just wow. Say things kick off between the US and China. Exactly where are we gonna setup in that region that doesn't have some type of insurgency raging? In the nations that don't they're not gonna let us in. That would be just perfect. China can arm the insurgents and send them to hit us and the home govt and we'll find ourselves in a two way fight. Trying to keep the Chinese off Taiwan while at the same time trying to keep the insurgents off our backs. Not cool.

Rumors are swirling on why Louisiana Native, Speaker of the House Johnson has done a U-turn on just about everything...

Sounds farfetched but we're living in weird times. Anyone can get got on a personal/physical level. You can live with that danger. But to be dragged thru the mud reputation wise? Must be terrible. Not for the small guy. No one would give a fuck about whatever evils you conceal but if you're a "name"? The power to blow up a persons life must be intoxicating. Just think about this. If this is true then we're living in the Matrix for real! What happened indeed!

NATO countries must give weapons to Ukraine, even if this comes at the expense of their own defense capabilities....tell me you're smoking crack without telling me you're smoking crack!

This dude must be fucking high.

So we give up the ability to defend ourselves in order to help Ukraine?  Make that make sense!

The globalist have gone over the deep end.  I don't know what this dude is smoking but that must be some good shit.

Ukraine demands more Patriot Missile Systems. This "modern" war is simply a return to "industrial warfare"

 

Quantity has a quality all its own.

We're seeing that now with the fighting in Ukraine.  Its high tech no doubt but its also at its heart an industrial fight.

All assumptions by US planners of short sharp fights MUST BE RETHOUGHT!

Our magazine depth is borderline pathetic.  Our allies?  Non-existent.

How we balance this thing is beyond me but some "brain" somewhere needs to be crunching the numbers.

This will affect everything in a true fight between superpowers.  I'm not talking about proxy fights we're seeing pop up but a true battle royal.

If just one US Armored Division is committed to action along with air and naval support how long could we keep them in the fight with our current stockpiles if they're in a high kinetic fight?

Artillery alone would probably run out in days.  Our anti-air missiles would probably last minutes.  Our airpower flying non-stop sorties would probably last as long as our artillery supply.

Note this is with us stripping down to the bare bones in every other theater.

Its a tough pill to swallow but add in dispersed units and things get even trickier because that last mile under fire to deliver the goods is gonna be hell on earth.

My worry is that the theorists got it all wrong but they're so invested in the work they've done that they can't adjust to obvious changes that are happening right before their eyes.

Their theories were fucked up.  The concepts they developed and maybe even their warplanes do not stand up to the test of time and an evolving battlefield.

Our playbook has been read and the enemy will not allow us to do another Desert Storm, Thunder Run, SOCOM raids etc....

The next one is gonna be a long, drawn out slog fest and we ain't ready.

The world is upside down. We're expecting Iran to be the rational actors and not strike back against Israel!

 How fucked up have things become?

We're expecting IRAN to be the rational actors and not strike back against Israel after the strike tonight!

Do you get the irony  of this shit?

Iran.  The home of the motherfucking Ayatollah is our hope to prevent this shit from turning into a regional war.

Not Israel but fucking IRAN?????

I don't understand this shit anymore.  Damn near the entire Western World to include SEVERAL ARAB states stepped up and shot down Iranian drones/cruise & ballistic missiles, we not only showed Israel that we had them but ACTED forcefully for them (and I don't doubt that there was back channel communications from the Iranians) and Israel still decided to launch a limited attack and now we're depending on the Persians to save the day.

Fuck me!  Shit is all jacked up.

Israel or rather Bibi is making a huge mistake by conducting a retaliatory strike on Iran...

 I don't get the Israeli rational on striking Iran.

They had European countries AND the US sending fighters and warships to knock down Iranian missiles.

The Iranians conducted what I consider a limited strike.

Bibi is stating that they have to retaliate because of (paraphrasing) that showing weakness by not striking would be provocative.

I disagree.

They've lost the public relations war.  Correction, they lost the manufactured anti-Israel public relations war.  Being pro Hamas is a new reason for being for the elite left and their camp followers.

A retaliatory strike risks expanding the war.

So why do it?

I think because Bibi needs the war to continue.  The second there is a pause in fighting the Israeli public will return to investigating him.  His govt will certainly fall.  His return to power will be doubtful.

This is his legacy moment and he's in it to set his place in history.

Self over country is always dangerous.  Israel is in danger right now with its current leadership...just like the US, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Brazil, and a few other modern societies I forget at the moment.

Amphibious Assault School hosts Amphibious Combat Vehicle Operator New Equipment Course 1-24....Video by Cpl. Hunter Wagner

 

The vids of this thing look awesome. The 30mm variant is gonna be nice. Still don't know how this fits in with Force Design 2030 (no rebranding for the FD freaks). Plus I remember the landing in Spain in that soft sand. Totally different than what you see at Pendleton. That soft, fluffy, get your ass stuck sand. Never forget seeing Marines trying to push a Humvee off the beach. Wonder if this vehicle will suffer the same fate. They claim it has the mobility to keep up with an M1 Abrams in broken terrain but I've never seen a video of it actually doing that. In short I have questions of its mobility in rough conditions. Video proof from BAE or the Marine Corps would be appreciated. Don't get me wrong. We won't see it but it would be nice. I wonder if I'm the only one that has doubts about this?

I am stunned and amazed (yeah I'm stupid) at how easily Washington, DC turned Louisiana native House Speaker Johnson into a puppet...

 


This fucker is a complete sellout.  All the promises about securing the border are forgotten and its all about Ukraine with just a side mention about Israel to try and get the Bible Belt to support this bitch ass supplemental.

The two party system is a joke.

I never REALLY understood the power of the Military Industrial Complex.

They own our govt which is a major part of why the US is continuously at war.

Its bad enough that we have enemies trying to fuck us, but now we have to add the govt to that list?

Fuck!

We're in a hurt locker.  We can't give up but FUCK!

To put it in street terms, how did the US go from being a certified, will fuck you up in a heartbeat shot caller to becoming the world's bitch?  The pussification of America is accelerating.

The tide continues to turn against Biden...

 

Antonio Brown is batshit crazy.  But even the crazy can get it right (having said that who is actually normal these days...we're all fucked up to a certain extent..).

AB isn't leading on this issue.  It isn't a great revelation on his part. He's simply following the lead.

Black working males have turned on the Democrat party.

I fear its too late but its about fucking time.
