WILL A RAMBO White House devastate the US military? If soldiers begin to see themselves as evil-doers, how can they possibly cling to the heroic self-image that makes the horrors of combat possible? Link in Reply below

TODAY IN: Things that would have gone unnoticed if they hadnât been noticed.
A U.S. Air Force B-52 flying over Fort Worth, Texas, accidentally deployed its drag chute mid-flight on Monday. The crew jettisoned the chute and brought the bomber down without incident. Officials say the mishap would likely have gone unnoticed if it hadnât been caught on video.

TODAY IN: Am I a genius or a Luddite?
DO NOT download the new @Apple OS. I thought it was just an update. It's a whole new operating system, and it is going to seriously fuck up your phone, and how you use it.

PURE SPECULATION but I can imagine he may be charged with âfeigning diseaseâ (malingering) if police allege he played sick to avoid being at work when he was supposed to be â perhaps to attend an interview and respond to questions?

LONG SERVICE DND member charged. First 2 charges suggest heâs alleged to have passed info to someone he shouldnât have. 3rd group of charges are improper storage of (personal) firearm, perhaps discovered during search? Last group are military catch-alls and an unusual add-on.

WORK EXPANDS to fill the time available. Without a deadline, the available time is infinite and work will never be completed. Metrolinx has proven Parkinsonâs Law with the Eglinton-Crosstown line. For its part, the TTC doesnât make money from riders so has no reason to care.
NEW: A battle between the TTC and Metrolinx over when to open the Eglinton Crosstown LRT reached a head on Dec. 5 at a tense meeting attended by Doug Ford and Olivia Chow. Metrolinx wants to open in 2025, TTC says that's not responsible. #OnPoli #Topoli

WHAT CANADA NEEDS to massively ramp up its military force structure is someone(s) from outside the Ottawa Bubble whoâs broken barriers before. Inside the box thinking and âin the realm of the possibleâ wonât get it done. We need a change agent. More than one.

APPARENTLY the Pentagon wasnât paying attention during Canadaâs Somalia fiasco. Itâs never the initial wrong that does the real damage. Bad things happen in conflict. Itâs the massive, instinctive bureaucratic attempt to cover it up that fells storied units and destroys armies.
