And if it's not a leak...pay attention to how "experts" are analyzing this concept compared to how little concern they had over 20 years of stalemate or the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Since this got so much attention: Yes, even if you think the op as described here is a bad idea or whatever, leaking even the outlines of it is reckless behavior.

The same people who will tell you bombing a bridge central to Iranian military logistics is a war crime will make excuses for Iran trying to deprive their neighbors of drinking water.

BREAKING: Kuwait said an Iranian attack damaged a desalination plant. The attack came after an oil refinery was hit by drones Friday morning. About 90% of drinking water in Kuwait comes from desalination. apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

Two more years, twelve years after Europe's "existential" struggle with Russia began in earnest.

NATO is racing to field new technology in 24 months or less. That timeline is forcing the alliance to rethink how it learns and adapts. ow.ly/nspI30sUNF9

Implementation will be interesting to watch given how much the Army loves its administrata. It'll be a good way to see who knows how to actually implement policy and manage risk though.

If we're being honest this is long overdue.
It was unconscionable for us to be telling Soldiers that they should avoid stopping for gas in uniform, be hyper-vigilant while waiting at the gate, etc. while also telling them they can't carry in uniform or have a blade longer than 3 inches.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.

The number of times I have had to explain this to people who ought to know better recently has been higher than zero, which sucks given what we ought to know by now about Chinese abuse of software/hardware access to steal IP.

Also, when a tweet gets 8k likes, you find out really quickly how utterly bizarre the average interaction on here is.

Well had my first tweet break containment, and it wasn't even a particularly good one. Regardless, sorry, even if you disagree with the campaign in Iran, anybody leaking potential scenarios, even if those scenarios aren't necessarily a good idea, isn't helping the troops.

Breaking news: The U.S. military gave the president a plan to seize nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium in Iran. The mission would require the airlift of potentially hundreds or thousands of troops and could take weeks. wapo.st/3PWVRzs

It takes like 5 seconds to figure out the military rationale for blowing up this bridge. Just because you disagree with the war for whatever reason doesn't mean you have to pretend to be stupid.
Rosemary Kelanic@RKelanic
What could possibly be the military rationale for this. There isn’t one.

@mattjalexander I didn't say it was a cause, just that the time would be better spent on that than say endless classes on procurement.
And funding speaks to Army priorities, which are way out of alignment.
English
@JasonAtwell14 Both are true (though I don't think its bc of prioritization of "useless content"), but this seems like two different issues.
I don't think a random BN staff ride is going to help funding issues.

Base museums have been neglected for a long time.
It'd be nice to see them reinvigorated by incorporating them into training and PME. Officers especially need to know more military history than they are currently taught bc we have prioritized a lot of useless content for a long time.

Certs are a scam and they keep people out of the workforce. This has great potential if they can also democratize who can take the assessments and speed up the hiring process.

.@DeptofWar officials gave new details at the @AFCEA & @DoW_CIO recent #CyberWorkforceSummit about the hands-on-keyboard skills-based hiring assessments they are piloting to grow applicant pool, getting away from using certs & qualifications. My story: govinfosecurity.com/pentagon-pilot…
