Several thoughts about the recent U.S. military in the news:
1) Randomly sinking vessels on the high seas is called “piracy”. Pirates are by definition criminals who are liable to execution when caught in the act.
2) Calling it the “War Department” isn’t unreasonable (that’s what it does, basically) and that’s what it was called for decades, so I don’t precisely have a problem with the idea.
3) I have a problem with THESE fuckers - Felony Fats and Whiskey Pete - because I think it is a giveaway; that the dumb bastards think “war works” when anyone who’s lived through Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam or studied war (Thuycidides and Clausewitz (drink!) are holding on Line 1) knows that the reality is complicated and very dependent on a deep understanding of and clear-eyed analysis of the ends and means and especially the possible unintended consequences.
These gormless fucksticks wouldn’t know “deep” and “clear-eyed” if it hit them on the ass singing “unintended consequences are here again”.
So I dread the implications of the rebranding. Handing these poop-flinging monkeys a live grenade is…not a good idea.
4) So apparently in 2019 the USN ran a covert operation in North Korea that went bad. Which happens. CO are inherently risky.
That said…SEALs, WTF? These guys’ record is iffy at best going back to Grenada in ‘83 when a bunch got dropped too far offshore and drowned and another got caught trying to do a “hostage rescue” thing and had to be rescued themselves.
Several ugly fails in SW Asia.
Seems to me like the outfit needs better strategic (or operational) sense to direct their tactical skills…
5) I’m reading that Felony Fats’ Operation Big Balls’ Revenge has prompted the GIs to coin their own nickname for the clusterfuck; they’re now “National Gardeners”
What’s NOT funny is that the fucker is playing stupid games with Joe and Molly.
His buddy Whiskey Pete isn’t transferring funds to the Guard Bureau to cover the costs, so troops who were activated are now being put on inactive status after returning to their home station.
Depending on their drill and activated time that might prevent them from ringing up a “good year” - that is, one that counts toward retirement.
That’s 1) bullshit, and 2) totally on-brand for Fats, who’s Art of the Steal has ALWAYS been “stiff your contractors”.
And to think that a perfectly good assassin put a bullet into James Fucking Garfield, a pathetic loser nailed JFK right in the ten-ring, Abe Lincoln’s theater evening went completely to hell and yet THIS shitheel is still wasting perfectly good oxygen…
There is no justice in this sorry world.

Mate,
So sad things have not improved since your post. Hope you're OK, and the SiPo haven't enacted Nacht und Nebel in your city.
Stay safe.

Have you been reading the MAGA weirdness around the assassination of Charlie Kirk? It just felt weirdly familiar and then I realized that it was a slight variation of the set up for the Nazi Night of Long Knives in 1934.
That got me worried and I realized that an embarrassing amount of Trump's weird policies towards immigrants is based on Hitler's behavior in 1933 and 1934, using ICE instead of the SA. Then I rediscovered that Congress appropriated $45 billion for "Detention Centers" that sounds a bit like Concentration Camps.
The lack of media response to Jimmy Fallon's being abruptly shut down is extremely ominous. I've also been reading rumors from usually reputable sources that Trump has been meeting 1:1 with the Social Media Billionaires and coming to "agreements." They don't mess with him socially and he doesn't mess with them legally. It appears Musk didn't get the message, which isn't really that surprising.
If this goes according to schedule, along about June of next year the administration is going to discover an "antifa" plot deep in the Democratic Party and need to gut it and take all its cash. This will ensure that the surviving Republicans win a 60%+ majority in both houses.
Then comes the American version of Krystalnacht when Bill Gates and a bunch of other billionaires are discovered to be hiding "something" (probably immigrant sweatshops) and shaken down and with some of them being shot.
After that things get increasingly ugly for the average Americans and we invade Canada and Greenland.
This so EXACTLY matches the pattern Hitler set that it HAS to have been planned, probably by somebody from Project 2025.
Is somebody going to burn down the Capital to imitate the Reichstag fire? I don't think they need to do that, Congress has publicly emasculated itself enough already.
WASSSSSFFFFF!!!!!
I misspoke on the Night of Long Knives, that was internal Nazi business.
What I'm concerned about is the Republicans declaring that the Democratic party is the center of the antifa organization and bring down the full weight of the American security establishment on the only other political party in the country. It is scary how easily it could happen.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you expected it. I was too optimistic, which is a sad state of affairs for somebody with my pen-name. Hope you are well other than this god-awful mess.
