@HansMahncke @Michael7ucci Remember that time we asked France for military advice?
Me neither.

Incredible that this French general’s “insights” lasted all of one day before the U.S. military created a makeshift landing strip and flew in multiple large aircraft to rescue a downed pilot.

During World War II, Hitler was convinced that Americans lacked the will to fight and that any who did would be quickly overwhelmed.
When early reports arrived from the battles in North Africa, German observers noted that Americans fought differently from the Europeans.
Rather than charging aggressively and risking heavy infantry casualties, U.S. forces relied on overwhelming firepower—staying at a distance and expending vast quantities of artillery with little hesitation. Thanks to unmatched industrial production and logistics, fresh supplies were always available.
This approach allowed relatively smaller American units to wear down much larger and well-entrenched enemy forces.
In contrast, German and other European doctrines often emphasized aggressive maneuver and were sometimes more willing to accept high casualties to achieve objectives or preserve key equipment.
This material-heavy American style surprised many Germans, including Hitler, who had long dismissed U.S. soldiers as soft and lacking in fighting spirit. He believed soldiers were cheap and expendable; he discovered too late that Americans fought to conserve lives by expending machines and ammunition instead.
It was one of many reasons for Germany’s defeat—perhaps the hardest for some foreigners to fully understand.
Americans place a high value on the lives of our soldiers. Equipment and shells could always be replaced.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@Inspectjavert @EWErickson That is a good method, one I heard suggested for sure.

@Inspectjavert @EWErickson Mushrooms are difficult to cook within or on a pizza given their water content.

@KSPolish @EWErickson Crust was a bit too thick and the mushrooms didn’t cook properly. Cheese was good and the sauce was decent though

@Inspectjavert @EWErickson Creative using an iron skillet. What was wrong with it?

@robprogressive @EWErickson They only give that kind of analysis to the government boondoggles they create like that stupid-ass Californian “high speed rail” they’ve pumped billions into and created nothing.

A man was getting out of his Lamborghini and someone stopped him and said aggressively:
“How many people could you have fed in starving countries for the price of that Lambo?”
The man paused, then replied. “I don’t know, but it fed a lot of the 1,800 families who work at Lamborghini.
It fed the designers' families. It fed the carbon-fibre manufactures families. It fed the tyre manufacturers families.
The 300 workers who are dedicated to making each individual Lamborghini all get to eat and work building something they love"
This is the fundamental problem with socialists. Socialism expects you to give it all away, but capitalism creates it in the first place

At this juncture, France is choosing to side with China and Russia. The U.S. will remember.

BREAKING: Russia, China, and France are blocking an Arab-backed push at the UN Security Council to authorize military action against Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, per NYT. According to diplomats, the three veto powers oppose any resolution language that would permit the use of force.

@softwarnet @EWErickson The Modi is extremely outdated, but yes, the armed forces have man-pack jamming and sensing equipment.
English
Do you understand that Ukraine has been jamming these same cheesy Chinese commercial grade drones with off the shelf electronics for years? They are so effective that Russia has all but abandoned 2.4 and 5.8 ghz.
The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) utilizes a layered suite of electronic warfare (EW) tools ranging from individual backpack units to vehicle-mounted systems to disrupt 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies. The USMC actively fielded "non-kinetic" capabilities to every squad.
For infantry on the move, the USMC relies on compact, battery-powered devices to jam standard drone frequencies such as the MODI II Backpack - A lightweight backpack system that jams the specific frequencies used by modern consumer drones (2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz). It is a versatile tool that can also be used for signals intelligence.
The USMC has deployed handheld and rifle systems, such as the DroneGun Tactical and similar "rifle-style" jammers. These use directional antennas to "point and shoot" at a drone, forcing it to land or return to its home site.
L-MADIS (Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System): Mounted on Polaris MRZR all-terrain vehicles, this system uses two vehicles: one for detection (radar and cameras) and one for "the brawn," utilizing the Modi II jammer to disrupt drone communications.
MADIS (Marine Air Defense Integrated System): A more robust version mounted on Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs). The Mk2 variant is specifically responsible for the Counter-UAS mission, using electronic countermeasures and an M134 Minigun for a layered defense.
To counter swarm attacks, the USMC is deploying high-power microwave systems like the Epirus Leonidas, which can disable multiple drones simultaneously by overloading their electronics rather than just jamming their radio signals.

🇮🇷 Iranian soldiers in underground trenches on Kharg Island are posting photos and stating that they are ready to repel a possible US landing- 👇 🔹 Judging by the photo, the Iranians have already received FPV kamikaze drones produced by the Chinese company Shenzhen Beizao Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. This model is equipped with a 5.8 GHz frequency video transmission antenna. 🔹 The only threat that the US would face in a land operation - unlike Iranian standard conventional weapons - is precisely the large-scale use of medium-range FPV kamikaze drones within asymmetric warfare and ambushes carried out by operators… Otherwise, Iran does not have armored vehicles on land, nor can it offer organized resistance within the framework of standard infantry tactics against the US elite amphibious and land forces - especially considering they will have 100% air support… 🔹 Thus, if the US suffers losses in land clashes during the capture of the Strait of Hormuz islands, the vast majority will be caused by ambushes carried out by Iranian FPV drones… It is likely that Russian operators experienced in the Ukraine war are already on site.

@wiz_political I was about to say about that poll between her and Tiffany - I don’t realize they had selected their candidate yet. I just don’t know that it matters with how hyped the Democrats are this cycle.

Yet the fourth poll with Hong in the lead. She takes over 25% of the Democrat primary vote. She is unknown!
Barnes was the former Senate nominee. Rodriguez is the SITTING LT GOVERNOR!
Expect Wisconsin Democrats to enter full on panic mode and attempt to push people out of the race.

Charlie Kirk's mentor just died in a freak pickleball accident. That's an incredibly strange coincidence. If you're going to say that's not weird, that there are tons of pickleball fatalities, you sound nuts. I don't know what happened but I don't think this is perfectly normal.

@EWErickson So the conclusion- Marvel is a worse steward of Spider-Man than Sony was.

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.
The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.
We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.
