Long time ago, I cut my teeth on what happens when men get left behind and fed a story instead of a future.
Wonky DC stuff: digital media, comms, data, and policy.

What I wouldn’t give for someone with the gall to wear a tan suit.

5) The results of the bombing are not clear
6) Trump is desperate to declare victory and get out of the war so regardless declared a ceasefire.
The US is not a serious country.

"Chaplain just walked out, looked like death... said something about, 'not signing up for this shit...' and how 'it's all a crock of shit, she's proof of it...' took off his collar and just left."

They’re not cucked, bro... they’ve simply achieved a higher plane of MAGA mysticism. You wouldn’t get it unless you’ve been anointing yourself with pre-workout creatine, myrrh, and pork blood sacraments.

Somewhere in hell, Nixon’s lighting a cigarette and muttering, “Not like that, you idiot.”

Self-select for separation. If denigrating your countrymen is too much, how are they going to handle where this is going?

As someone who’s been watching the SOF and vet media space closely, this isn’t new, it’s just gone loud. The lines between patriotism, religious nationalism, and revanchist fantasy have been blurring for years. This address just said it loud enough/publicly enough to break out of the content silo.

There’s a growing convergence between elite SOF culture and Christian nationalist rhetoric, and Trump’s Bragg speech catered directly to it. This isn’t just political posturing but a recruitment signal to a specific, armed, and ideologically primed demographic.

The propaganda works. Putin's use of overtly 'great war' themes really wants to convey the exact picture you're painting.
When your vote doesn't count and you're locked up for holding blank signs, you kind of just accept it and go about your day. Far from being 'into' strongmen.

That's what gets me - how all those former cold warriors just got zapped into fighting the 'woke mind virus'.

Just the other day I walked in on my son reading about 1844 land grants in Cuyahoga Valley. Obviously grooming him to question property rights.
