Hell freezes over occasionally. On May 7, 2025, the Department of Defense published a memo in which it admitted in writing that the implementation of its covid shot mandate was unlawful. This echoes similar remarks made by Secretary Pete Hegseth in a video released on April 23, 2025. The May 7 memo offered updated guidance on DoD's ongoing plan to offer records correction for those impacted by the mandate. Fix it and prosecute the uniformed malefactors immediately....
Military Corruption Probe Gets a Four-Star Scalp
This picture shows him masked up for another robbery. He threw it all away for a $355k contract. This is the tip of the iceberg. A jury convicted former Vice Chief of Naval Operations ADM Robert Burke of four counts related to what prosecutors call a bribery scheme to get Navy contracts in exchange for a post-retirement job. Most likely, this turd had a retirement pension exceeding 150k per year from the US government. But in summer 2021, Messenger and Kim met with Burke in Washington, D.C., to reestablish their company’s business relationship with the Navy. While at the meeting, the two...

Light Tank Cancelled Due to Obesity Issues
If you haven't seen The Pentagon Wars, take the time to see one of the only depictions on film of exactly how the Pentagon acquires systems that don't work. The film discussed the insane process of replacing the aging infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) in the US Army in the 1980s with a wholly inadequate Bradley IFV that left the factory ancient and not fit for purpose. During the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, the Bradleys were removed from theater because hundreds were lost on the battlefield against a foe with no tanks or IFVs; approximately 150 Bradleys were destroyed and around 700...
The Pier With No Peer in First World Militaries
*** I have been at a business conference all week that has consumed my attention. *** The IG Report (May 2025) appended below reveals many shortfalls in the Gaza pier disaster from 2024. Trillions spent on so many toys and then we they receive the items and systems from the lowest bidder, the US Army can't even be bothered to appoint responsible leadership, conduct the necessary training and bother to rehearse the utility of these Rube Goldberg contraptions. The pier was only operational for about 20 days and cost about $230 million. While there were no deaths or known direct attacks on the...
F35 Follies: Fat Amy Fails Again and Again
The F35 is in trouble in Europe. NATO observed the U.S. cut off its vital military aid deliveries to Ukraine, and choke Kyiv's access to American-derived intelligence in a bid to bend Ukraine to its will, namely to sit down at the negotiating table for ceasefire talks. Ukraine, the U.S.' allies could see, was backed into a corner by its dependence on the U.S. The Lockheed Martin-made F-35 is the only fifth-generation fighter aircraft available to Western militaries, and many of the 20 nations operating or buying F-35s are NATO members. "If an F-35 user wanted to use the jets in a way that...
