In 2009, this was the mask of a UK SAS character in “Call of Duty.” By 2015 it was de rigeur among Iraqi government commandos and Shiite militiamen. In 2018, in “Sicario 2,” it was what CIA surrogate characters wore to disguise themselves as cartel gunmen.
Now US law enforcement wears it.

Trump to Kaitlan Collins after she pressed him on getting justice for Epstein survivors:
"No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she‘s a young woman. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen you smile. I‘ve known you for 10 years. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a smile in your face."

👇🎯 We're now having a "debate" on the Sunday shows & in the Sunday papers about whether the Second Amendment exists, or whether the last 20 years of far right behavior with guns in public exists. It's a total failure of journalism to fall for this diversion.
I appreciate the journalistic efforts to show that the ICE agents took Pretti's gun away from him while they pummeled him, but it also doesn't really matter.
He never took it out or brandished it, they didn't know he had it until they tackled him, and he had a right to have it.

Just some bangers from the COIN Manual that informed so many of our experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The level of restraint we expect from our soldiers and Marines, even in a COIN environment, is remarkable.
Such professionalism should be expected of every American we trust to bear arms.

You want civilian control of the military in a democracy. Well, this is it. Elect better civilians.
You want the military to be part of the checks and balances? That’s a praetorian guard.

Real black pilled on the military. The oath means absolutely nothing at all, apparently. Happy to be praetorians, just as long as the check clears.

Yes.
Three ships with the ARG/MEU. About 4,000 there.
Four ships with carrier group, including the Ford. That's about another 6,000.
Then the last four on the list, deployed independently and in addition to the two task forces.

So this is the 22nd MEU and the Ford Strike Group. Which has to be thousands of Marines and Sailors?

You could join infantry or armor. You could become a cook or admin, take the hard road and apply to serious leadership courses like the Ranger course. Many have done it for 75 years. The NYT article is insufferable because the writers don’t get even a private would look at these people with contempt
