Oh and how’s that new round of bombing coming along? Oh right not a single thing has materially improved from a strategic perspective lmk when we bomb Kharg island and it fixes everything

What do you mean it doesn’t match the headline.. it’s literally in the first paragraph: “Israeli nationalists chanted “death to the Arabs”, “may your villages burn” and “Gaza is a graveyard” in a state-sponsored march through Jerusalem to mark the anniversary of the city’s capture and annexation.” I’m not the one that made up the idiotic standard that societies should be judged by what people chant at random protests.. that was you.. a week ago: “And in ~75 years I have yet to see an Israeli street rally calling for death to the Muslims.” Well now you have seen one. And since we’re playing your stupid game, this one matters just as much as when gazans do it if you care at all (we know you don’t) about logical consistency. But I look forward to learning how this is totally different, or fake news, or something..

First article: Garbage. The headline doesn't match any of the actual quotes in the article. The actual quotes are much more boring. The best you have is "a few Jews at a rally said evil things." Now, if the minister with the flag had said something like "we will kill any Palestinian that prevents us from retaking the Temple Mount" then you might have something. But to try to compare this to even the now-boring "from the river to the sea" is idiotic. Second article: “There’s no such thing as ‘means, intent and ability’ in Gaza,” Vilk says. “No soldier ever mentions ‘means, intent, and ability’. It’s just: a suspicion of walking where it’s not allowed. A man aged between 20 and 40.” Nonsense. The article pretends that there was no enemy at all. Just a bunch of refugees looking for food. There's tons of footage of Hamas fighters engaging the IDF. If their repeated, documented use of civilians and civilian disguises made the IDF paranoid and trigger happy, that's a bummer, but entirely predictable. The US soldiers killed a lot of unarmed Germans as we took Europe from the Nazis. Yet no one is stupid enough (except for Tucker Carlson) to claim the allies were the bad guys. Welcome to war. Maybe your military service was so blessedly uneventful that you never saw or heard these very human things happen. Your general philosophy does usually reek of ignorant utopianism. It still doesn't make it even remotely difficult to know who the bad guys are in this situation.

I know you hate when I show up - this is your space, I get it. Here’s some light reading that refutes your main claims that I’m sure you’d like to be aware of. Next time, you can use Google to find things like this yourself. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/14/israel-nationalists-jerusalem-day-march-anniversary-protest https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/10/israeli-soldiers-breaking-ranks-gaza-civilians-human-shields Again, sorry to be a drag.

That’s until someone complains to Pete on X and the CoC gets fired. No commander is risking their career over that.

I'd imagine there being "no reprimands" does not mean there won't be some safety review and additional training for said bro involved? Commanders have previously been fired for WAY less....

Maybe… https://theaviationist.com/2026/07/16/first-customer-next-gen-catalina-flying-boat/

It’s very low. The VA gives me TRT. https://www.va.gov/formularyadvisor/DOC_PDF/CFU_Testosterone_Replacement_in_Males_Criteria_Update_Mar2025.pdf

At least two black GOs in the USAF’s latest 1-star and 2-star list. At least 1-female in the 1-star list. I know the fact that there are no women on the Navy’s 1-star list is causing a stir but there are definitely other minorities on the list. Me thinks he’s simply removing folks who were major advocates for DEI everything in the military (and as we all know many of those happen to be minorities). Several white males were also removed from the list. Look I’m not saying I agree with Pete here as it sets a dangerous precedent when it comes to civilian control of the military influenced by politicos but some understanding of nuance here is important.

Well you made two false claims and an extremely hyperbolic one. It’s out of character, so that’s why I ask.

Ultimate TMAAT vignette…

Nope....simply outlining Pete's latest policy decisions and the opportunity for this to run off the rails.

Sarcasm?

Called it!!

Civilian leadership is absolutely setting the conditions to make it nearly impossible to hold blatant and wanton lapses in airmanship accountable. All anyone will have to do is post on social media to garner attention from on high, say, "But the public loved it!" and "What about the Blue Angels", thereby garnering a public pardon of sorts. I would not want to be a commander right now if a true case of buffoonery occurred.

Not being forced to take anything....YET. No Black Generals or Admirals. No women Generals or Admirals No Air discipline for anyone, have at it boys. Give me an Fing break ladies...

And like clock work the acting clown gives them a blessing.

What’s the VA rating for lowT?

Start here. Good luck man.

The Air Force has decided it needs me to stay a captain. I will be leaving at the first possible opportunity. (UPT ADSC) I will be eligible for involuntary separation pay (ISP) if I'm not offered continuation. Does anyone know a way to avoid getting offered continuation?

I would be very curious to see what the thresholds are. I got tested on my own dime after getting educated on symptoms related to low T. Got on a good regimen and have never felt better in my entire life. You have to essentially have non existent levels with the VA in order to even get started and have friends still active who have ran into same roadblocks with active health care. Its silly.

Yup. Military has been conditioned to punish anything even close to bending vol 3 over the last couple of decades. Previous cases under this admin have been just dudes doing non standard stuff in a 'everything is recorded' era. Nothing jumped out to me as dangerous. This on the other hand was nuts. Lets find a happy medium. Impossible i know.

The locals are cheering it, they want more. Carry on Patriots, until someone gets killed. 500 knots, 90 degrees of bank at 70' AGL. I hope to god the Boss is professional enough to know this was a major F'up!

Pete will likely intervene and end said review. Yahoo NewsNavy's Blue Angels investigate after video shows low flyo...The Blue Angels said an aircraft "flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas."
