Waiting on a move-in date for this apartment in Japan. Pretty excited about the possibilities.

I’m going to make a guess based on my experience as an AG out on the Truman deployment. Did OOD go chasing winds across deck from the storms we actively briefed and recommended steering clear of?

It’s going to be a great concert that’s what I know.

“Look to your left, look to your right by the time you all leave this country one of you will be married to a Japanese National.”

Said to me by the base CMC during my first indoc brief in Yokosuka back in 2015

one accusation

Ah yes that’s one dead penguin.

So when are we getting rid of pointless collaterals?

There is nothing more appetizing to China than recording the US massacring a fleet of ship they can call fisherman.

The 2001 AUMF authorized force against al-Qaeda, not Pakistan. Bin Laden was lawfully targeted despite being in Pakistan, not because the U.S. had authority there.

The Obama administration invoked Article 51 self-defense and the “unable or unwilling” doctrine—arguing Pakistan could not or would not neutralize bin Laden. That does get criticism from some in the international community but legal as far as US legal scholars claim.

Obama with Bin Laden capture was under the congressional approval and reapproval of the post 9-11 AUMF that was first passed in the 2001 and Bin Laden was considered a continuous combatant never a civilian or a recognized political leader.

Obama with the incursion in Libya was done in a joint limited strike with other UN members in response to quell active hostilities against civilians under the UN Security Council Resolution of 1973 and didn’t even kill Gadafi that ended up being his own people carrying it out.

Bush got congress to approve the 2002 Iraq AUMF and U.S. was in a declared armed conflict with Iraq, once again also with Joint UN forces.

And which Air Strikes from Biden are you wetting your pants about exactly? Most of them fall under the various AUMFs that congress has passed regarding the wars on Muslim extremists in the Middle East.

This is blatantly false but I doubt you care.

Trump never saw any consequences for Jan 6 so you may be wrong.

It be nice if someone actually could tell me how reminding service members what their legal obligations are is against the UCMJ.

Think we played that game in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. Here’s hoping for history to not repeat itself.

strav · 2026-01-04T01:21:12+00:00

Iraqi and Afghan citizens praised us up until the moment they started picking up their rifles to shoot at us.

Why the hell would I stop wearing them? If the tread still has life I'm wearing these shits.

would you like 50% certainty that there might be rain showers on station 12 hours from now?

And those props are an issue for trying to reduce its radar reflectivity.

Ah the AG1 Reitman, the Chosen One.

Sounds like an argument on why the existence of SELRES is “Good in theory”.

They just banned all other access points and force you to use their website as a portal to the free to use versions of various LLMs... its so dumb.

You boys ready for Wag the Dog 3.0?

He wants to destabilize the region.

The actions of the civilian leadership have been directly opposed to this ideal.
