Im sure this whole conversation with retirees being recalled back to active service is riddled with social minefields and slippery slippery of, but what about the next administration that comes in. To be honest, I don’t care. I’m so tired of retiree general officers and senior

Today the Army released Field Manual 1, titled, The Army A Primer to Our Profession of Arms, meant for new Leaders. The Blue Book tells Soldiers how to be right. This Green Book tells Soldiers who we are. It talks about our culture and structure. Most doctrine is dry and meant

I Miss Doing Infantry Things One of my biggest regrets as an officer is not realizing how little time I’d actually spend in the fight. Nobody told me how quickly the modern broken career path pulls you away from warfighting. You start by leading Soldiers. Living in the dirt,

@BRICSinfo The United States has zero obligation to defend a NATO country if Russia attacks it. A treaty is nothing more than a piece of paper. I hope Russia brings endless pain to all of these evil clowns

The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office. And @realDonaldTrump is right: The Kiev regime is "gambling with WWIII."

The behavior of Zelenskyy is typical of Europe as a whole. Entitled. In denial of reality. Narcissistic. Unconcerned with our need to deal with many massive internal problems. Such juvenile & entitled behavior makes us less not more desirous of helping Ukraine and Europe.
Zelensky says he wants peace but he just rudely dismissed the Trump administration's diplomacy as pointless. That angered Trump and @JDVance and now Zelensky has fled the White House. This should be the wake-up call that global elites & Europe desperately need.

Your country is debating the banning of steak knives because Londonistan won't stop pedophiles, rapists, and third-world butchers from running rampant in the streets. Whatever history may write about the US, we are the only friend you have left who may yet be able to save your
The United States has become the enemy of the free world. Americans need to accept that. And if they do not like it, you have to do something about it. You’re on the wrong side of history. You are one of the bad guys now.

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say. For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office;
"This will not stand. This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait."--George H.W. Bush on August 5, 1990. Full quote from Jon Meacham's biography. Future history students will be asked why this stopped being the reaction of a Republican president to the invasion of a

There ARE good people in the government who want to eliminate fraud & waste. Amazingly, Leland was fired by Social Security Administration upper management for helping @DOGE find taxpayer savings. Can you believe that?? Thanks to President Trump, Leland was brought back right
At 4:30pm, Leland Dudek's boss put him on leave for helping DOGE find fraud. “They want to fire me,” he wrote. "I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA." Within hours, it was his boss who was fired, and the longtime SSA waste-watcher was elevated to lead the whole agency.
