Honestly, this is kind of good. Any gambling service that accepts bets on the lines on a map controlled by an intern deserves to lose every penny, along with the degenerates trying to gamble on a war zone
If someone at ISW actually did what’s being alleged here, they deserve to be named and shamed

We've made improvements, especially with the Future Soldier Preparatory course....but are we sure this isn't just a blinking red economic indicator? I would bet a weaker civ job market has a lot more to do with improved recruiting than lethality vs wokeness

Before there was Veterans Day, there was Armistice Day. We shouldn't have changed it. When we rattle sabers and hold human life cheaply, I think about this dedication from my Great Grandfather's WWI unit history. Armistice Day was as much of a warning as it was a celebration.

Hi folks! A few thoughts on this essay, and the questions that we *should* be asking, rather than the ones this Army officer seems inclined to answer. I haven’t done a CMR thread in a while so I’m overdue. 🧵

You're telling me the high-stakes underground mafia poker game wasn't on the up-and-up?
Authorities say an indicted poker cheating ring involving pro sports figures and the mafia used a series of high-tech tactics in the scam.

At least they came away with the field goal, but why did LaFleuer have them throw on 3rd and 2, in side 2 minutes? Worst case, run is stuffed and the bengals have to burn their last time out

Which part of the "fast, cheap, good" triangle do you think a defense contractor would give up?
The United States has to fund legacy munitions, modern systems, and next-gen tech at once. The only way to reconcile that tension? Speed.
