Jeff “Beat Navy” Caslen

Joe Rogan is trying to average out Trump’s long tie.

How do you not feel patriot watching the opening of the UFC Freedom 250? USA 250!!!

Gears of War: E Day Xbox console exclusive AND day 1 GamePass? Good luck making money off it

So today I had a retired US Navy three-star admiral accuse me of being a bot and having never served in the US military. I posted a rebuttal, which basically caused this Democrat admiral to get swarmed by a social media army of veterans (and patriotic non-veterans too). I truly appreciate the outpouring of support, but I am also quite interested in what this says about the mindset of America’s veteran community in 2026, writ large. Most of us? We served in the GWOT and are still angry about it. We are angry that we were sent to do impossible missions of building liberal institutions in 8th Century tribal societies. We’re angry about ridiculously restrictive ROE that got our friends killed. We are angry that for much of the wars we were inadequately resourced, driving soft-skinned HMMWVs down IED Alley. We are angry that we spent all those years to have, in the end, accomplished very little. We are angry at how the VA treated us when we got out. Most of all, we are angry about watching our friends get killed or maimed (or kill themselves when they got home), seemingly all for naught. And guess what? We are REALLY angry at the senior generals and admirals who led us down this path and never had the cajones to tell the civilian elected leadership what the real deal was. (We’re not angry at Pete Hegseth’s team—we’re angry at the generals and admirals who caused the problems he and his team are trying to fix.) That admiral who came at me today? He was one of those GWOT senior leaders. What you saw today was much less an outpouring of support for me and much more an outpouring of righteous anger at a righteous target. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this, it’s an interesting phenomenon.

@mobbs_mentality @Mpolymer @fred_burton What is your take on media and influencers constantly calling someone hitler or a fascist. These people with mental issues see it as their civic duty to eliminate the threat?

My impression from a psych perspective - moralized grandiosity. He is framing violence as compelled. This is often seen in ideologically motivated lone wolves - institutions have failed, it’s his responsibility, his duty, to act. Definite signs of cognitive constriction. However, in this text, he appears to not be emotionally dysregulated. He presents as goal-oriented and controlled, this works to suppress his rage, which makes him organized and potentially more dangerous. Thankfully, his lack of experience and training severely limited his ability to execute.

From psychological standpoint, re his mindset plus tactics, what does this tell u @fred_burton ?

Well, @ShawnRyan762, I know my comparing you to @maddow seems like a joke to some, but I can assure you that it is not. As a former SEAL that has sat in briefing rooms in theater, run ops against jihadist networks, and built a platform interviewing many sharp people in both operations and intelligence, you of all people should understand how strategic warfare actually works. Despite all of that, you are sitting here and pushing posts like a cable news commentator with rimmed glasses on a communist news network, framing decisive pressure against the world's leading state sponsor of militant jihadist terrorism as "chaos" and "loss." Let's cut through this selective timeline you laid out: Trump issued a brutal, unmistakable warning over the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint Iran's regime was weaponizing to strangle global energy and fund its proxies. That wasn't just some bluster for fun, it was quite literally combatant messaging 101 in asymmetric conflict against an enemy that only respects raw and credible power. Jihadist Islamists like the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and their ilk don't negotiate in good faith or respond to polite diplomacy, and you absolutely know this. They only respond to negotiations from positions of strength. If you do not negotiate that way, they will probe weaknesses, exploit hesitation, and interpret restraint as invitations to push attacks. History from the Beirut barracks to the USS Cole to Benghazi and to decades of proxy attacks has proven that. You've had guests that have spoken about these things, yet you act ignorant of them now? This apocalyptic rhetoric is the only language these people understand, and you know it. Iran blinked because of that rhetoric, floated a ceasefire tied to reopening the strait, and the administration secured a pause to lock in gains. That is not "lighting the world on fire then calling the fire department," you two bit propagandist, that is literally the way war has always worked. It is coercion through strength: downgrade the enemy's capacity, signal willingness to escalate decisively, then offer the off ramp on your terms. It's wild that you are ignorant about this. And then you cry about Israel hitting Beirut like the soft lefty you have turned into... Beirut is in Lebanon, mind you, which is a completely different country than Iran. Perhaps you need a geography lesson as well as a lesson on strategic level warfare? So yeah, that is not Trump chaos, that is Israel finishing the job against an Iranian proxy that has quite literally fired thousands of rockets and embedded itself among civilians in Lebanon for decades. And Lebanon was explicitly carved out of the US and Iran ceasefire for a reason, so even bringing it up here is silly and meant to distract. Also, Iran quickly "closed" the Strait back up because they are purveyors of taqiyya style negotiations, just like jihadists always are. But let's talk about how they "closed" the Strait, because everyone is being dishonest about that as well. They didn't actually close anything, they are just signaling that they will attack ships that cross through it. All it takes is one drone or one missile hitting one tanker and 20% of the world's oil shipping halts until insurance companies feel confident that the crazy Islamic terrorist regime in Iran won't sink any more hundred million dollar tankers. You also conveniently leave out the real reason for this war from the get go, which is curtailing China and China's Belt and Road Initiative and re-establishing the world order firmly behind the United States. I miss the days just months ago when you weren't a fully captured op... seeing what you and guys like Kent have become is truly disheartening. I hope the money is worth it.

Seeing the operation to save the WSO should show every Servicemember that the United States will throw everything including the kitchen sink to rescue them without a single thought of how much the operation will cost.

@OldGnarlyGoat @NavalAcademy There’s no contest. I don’t understand how UCF is on it. It’s like saying UH is on it because of Johnson Space Center (which is closer to their campus). It’s service academies then everyone else.

Fifty four astronauts have graduated from the @NavalAcademy. FIFTY. FOUR. That’s more than any other college or academy. We have a SEAL astronaut, multiple submariner astronauts, and more female astronauts than anywhere else. At Annapolis, we own space. #OldAndGnarly

Typical of the government to play games during midterm season. It's disgusting watching them make us suffer so they can gain the power - especially when they're able to just bypass the lines and not suffer either. Politicians are all snakes

@FBGreatMoments That TD pissed me off when I watched it live.

This is art.

@hotscots_app It lasted all year. This was at Fort Sill 1-31. Another Battery had the entire ceiling fall out due to water damage. I can only imagine the mold there

@hotscots_app When I was a basic training commander, I would get a river of water into my office (1st floor of a 4 story building) DPW said it was the HVAC contractors job to fix and they said it was DPW. The water was coming in where they meet. They just put a tarp above the ceiling tiles.

Fort Sill is going through it. Soldiers are living with mold down to the toilet seats. A sign posted by barracks managers told them to source their own soap, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies from their unit — because there’s no barracks funding. Where’s the Barracks Task Force money? Where are the new UFC barracks standards that were supposed to set the floor? The Hots&Cots Report Card doesn’t lie: Fort Sill barracks earned a D-. 1.6/5 overall. 1.5/5 on Safety. Of 6 reviews submitted, 4 flagged mold, 4 flagged unsanitary conditions, 4 flagged safety concerns. We’ve sent a flare up the chain to get attention on this. Our soldiers don’t deserve to live like this.

@rickdicksonreal It’s almost as good of a yell as “MASHED POTATOES”

Yelling “get in the hole” has to be the most cringe shit ever now as a spectator. If you’re doing this, you’re a complete dork

@rickdicksonreal @SgmAbn And the PAO lapdogs that wanted to be popular with journalists abandoned every principle and just ran with the flavor of the day, completely ruining our profession

@SgmAbn Well, I’m telling you, they think they’re a step above, whatever the standard is or was.

I agree, all of the services merged their enlisted Public Affiars specialties and we lost critical technical skill and expertise in both writing and visual information. I think the writing suffered the most.

@Snakeeater36 What’s with the beard in the opening scene.

A fucking -10 Absolute fucking trash.

@EODHappyCaptain And your rifle is never clean enough

I’m going to create A hardcore military training program for civilians, but it’s just picking up brass on a range all day and being told you don’t have enough until you break emotionally

I didn’t realize the Appalachian Mountains were so mountainous.

You don’t say “repeat” on the radio unless you’re an FO.

5 minutes into @netflix War Machine. Dude has a massive beard and no helmets in Afghanistan and then has stubble when reporting to Ranger School? This movie is ass
