Military

Resurfaced posts show a Pentagon official called Army soldiers fat and lazy. This isn't a social media scandal. It's a window into a civilian bureaucratic class that has forgotten its entire reason for existing is to serve the warfighter.

The distinction between military cyber operations under Title 10 authority and intelligence operations under Title 50 authority has become a pressure point inside U.S. Cyber Command. The organizational confusion costs operational efficiency and creates legal exposure.

Mehdi Hasan told MSNBC's Chris Hayes that 'even the Nazis behaved better' than Trump's military. The network said nothing. That silence reveals exactly how cable news enforces accountability for its critics and abandons it entirely for its own.

Pentagon leadership warns Congress that armed forces recruitment quotas fell 12% below target in early 2026. Readiness assessments flag deployable personnel shortages.

A cable news pundit invoked the Nazi comparison against the United States military. This isn't commentary. It's a moral obscenity.

The same people who wanted chaplains replaced with counselors are scandalized that the Defense Secretary quotes Scripture. The outrage tells you everything.

Jayapal and Meeks want to defund any military action in Cuba. Ask them what they've done for the people Cuba has been brutalizing for sixty years.

300+ Chinese 'fishing vessels' operate in disputed waters with military communications, AIS transponder manipulation, and government subsidies. This is maritime militia, not fishing.

Operation Epic Fury-style AI warfare isn't coming, it's here. The question isn't whether to use it, but whether America will lead it or follow it.

When the Secretary of Defense stands in front of cameras during an active operation, he's not just informing the press. He's signaling.

Polling dips during military operations are a feature, not a bug. History shows they recover, but only when the mission has a coherent objective.

The Navy's own force structure assessment requires 381 ships to meet current commitments. The fleet has 289. Shipbuilding rates won't close the gap for decades, if ever.

Two years after the PACT Act, wait times are longer, claim backlogs are deeper, and the only thing that changed is the user interface. Mission failed.

While the West debates emissions targets, Russia is militarizing the Northern Sea Route. Seventeen new bases since 2015. This isn't environmental policy, it's strategic positioning.

A mega-deal to end the Ukraine war sounds good until you remember who's on the other side of the table. Paper agreements don't stop artillery.

Three ships hit in the Strait of Hormuz. This didn't happen in a vacuum, it happened in a world that spent years watching America apologize its way to irrelevance.

Declaring victory is step one. The harder work is ensuring the conditions that make Iranian resurgence impossible, and that requires political will that outlasts the news cycle.

Operation Epic Fury is ten days old. The battlefield picture is contested. But the strategic picture is becoming clearer, and it favors the United States.

America just opened a new air defense operations cell at Al Udeid. That's not a bureaucratic reshuffling. That's a response to a real and ongoing threat.

When a general quietly signals dissent on Iran policy, the press treats it as gospel. When Trump calls it fake news, they treat him like a liar. The pattern never changes.

A decorated Navy SEAL's name is trending. In an era of Pentagon social engineering, his story is a reminder of what military service actually looks like.

Suddenly Democrats care about military readiness. The same party that gutted defense budgets for a decade is now fretting about munitions stockpiles.

Words matter in military affairs. The distinction between a targeted strike and a war isn't a talking point, it's the difference between strategy and chaos.

When senators from your own party start asking hard questions about mission scope and exit strategy, a president should listen. Not comply, but listen.
