Yeah, leave 9.6 million beneficiaries suddenly without medical coverage. How could that go wrong?!? 🫢 Yes, Tricare needs restructuring and revising; but killing it is not an option.

Ahhh....Panzer Kaserne! I do miss it!

OK, I lied...

I'm on a meme run...

Just sayin'...

Naw. Raising Arizona or Lord of War!!

Thoughts? Jensen's military duty assignments included 26th Special Tactics Squadron commander and deputy commander of the 724th Special Tactics Group, among others. Trump Nominates Air Force Veteran to Oversee Special Operations Forces President Donald Trump tapped Michael Jensen, an Air Force veteran with experience in special operations forces, to take a high-level Pentagon job as assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict. His nomination was submitted to the Senate and referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Monday, according to a notice posted on Congress.gov. If confirmed, he would be responsible for providing civilian oversight of the U.S. military’s SOF enterprise and exercising “authority, direction, and control of all special operations peculiar issues relating to the organization, training, and equipping of special operations forces,” according to a Defense Department description of the job...

Saw this at a gun show today, a double folder has been on my wish list for years! I may have to start a Go Fund Me account!

Not good...

Not a commander, but yet another example of how out of touch with reality some senior USAF leaders are ("Finerty did not think his behavior amounted to fraternization. Because the messages were private, they did not damage good order and discipline, he claimed") ... Air Force demoted two-star after affair, ‘voluminous’ sexting, IG says A now-retired Air Force major general was stripped of a star after an inspector general investigation found he engaged in multiple inappropriate sexting relationships – including with an enlisted airman and congressional staffers – and had an affair with a married woman. Maj. Gen. Christopher Finerty left his position as the Air Force’s legislative liaison director in March 2023, the Air Force said. That was roughly two months after an IG complaint was filed that alleged he engaged in “unprofessional and inappropriate relationships with multiple women”... (Full article at title link)

God bless the dirty heathens of the US Army, nothing says "I don't give a shit about anything!" than dropping cases of MREs at 100' AGL!! Army MRE Air Drop.mp4

Seriously, it took this many NCOs to put together this shitty little two-minute video?!? Secondly, those "duty identifier patches" are a fucking joke (although I do like the one that says 'Dirt!' WTF is that all about?). Isn't that what career badges are suppose to represent? Do you really need a billboard on your shoulder stating you work at Finance?

20+1 rounds in a top-loading auto pistol is intriguing, and at that price point it well may be worth trying; but I have never been a fan of the 5.7x28mm round. Sure, it will penetrate soft body armor than most handgun rounds; but what really are the odds of that being a factor in a self-defense situation? Plus, my house pistols are only to get me to my Mossberg 500! It can get decent penetration and expansion if you use ammo such as the Federal Personal Defense 40g JHP; but there are much better self-defense calibers out there which are easier and cheaper to find. As LR stated, it does have velocity, recoil and capacity in its favor; but the potential drawbacks such as over-penetration and cost would never replace the .45 or 9mm in my opinion. But at four hundred bucks (MSRP), it certainly is interesting enough to try if I ever see one available. My safes are full of firearms I bought just for the opportunity to shoot them! I am glad a buddy had a S&W Model 500 that he let me shoot, it saved me a lot of money realizing that particular revolver just wasn't for me! There's not a huge moose threat here in southcentral Texas!

Not really, you can't trust chips made in China...
