What (Else) Could Go Wrong?

U.S. intelligence assesses that Iran still maintains a significant missile launching capability, including roughly half of its cruise and ballistic launchers, as well as thousands of one-way attack drones, despite daily strikes against military targets across Iran for the last five weeks by Israel and the United States, three sources familiar with the assessment told CNN.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has signed a memorandum directing military installation commanders to allow personnel with the Defense Department - namely, uniformed servicemembers - to request to carry privately owned firearms while in their nonofficial duty capacity on military bases within the United States.
The 41st Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. Randy George, has been asked to step down from the post and retire immediately by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who wants someone in the role who will implement his and President Trump “vision” for the Army, sources tell CBS News. Vice Chief of a Staff of the Army, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, who was formerly Hegseth’s military aide, will serve as Acting Army Chief of Staff until a successor to Gen. George is approved by the Senate.
That’s certainly bad. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! Trump to America: “Fuck you.” Has the White House commented on that yet? Well, of course they did. The “Me, or your lyin’ eyes,” defense.

  1. During our second excursion into the Middle East circa 2002 my uncle, a Naval Reservist, was called into active duty and served as Military Police, first on a stateside base and later in Japan. He hated it- there were a *lot* of domestic violence calls. I guess Hegseth wants to make that worse, too.
