@BradDuplessis @MrNathan_Hale Brad, going back to 2021; had to call a retired guy in Iowa and ask him if he could make a couple wiring harnesses that had years long ESDs. He’d retired but had enough laying around in his shop to put together 2. Yeah we contracted that immediately! #AmericasFirst

@MrNathan_Hale No idea. I could understand low demand signal being a factor when I took command (2014) but not today. Took 6 months to get Bradley track pads back then. These guys are ordering, reporting via USR, DIV MRR….

Or...readiness challenges cannot be isolated to "lying to ourselves." Its multifactorial. The Undersecretary has a responsibility here — you get what you resource. Example: spoke with an ABCT XO yesterday who has had Bradleys down for 18 months because they can't get sprockets. Numerous FUPPs rcvd broken, including its turbine blades. Others lasting ~ 1/3 of life expectancy — org turns in and receives less than 1/2 of what it spent. This is in a TIC Brigade.

Broken stress loops** — Real antifragile systems (Taleb-style) feed on friction, screw-ups, and raw feedback—they level up from chaos. But when gaps get buried (shaky training results, resource droughts, doctrinal blind spots), adaptation starves. No honest exposure = no evolution. Vulnerabilities rot unseen. Exhibit A: Just this week, Army Undersecretary Michael Obadal laid it bare at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference: “To say we’re satisfied with our readiness rates, I think would be disingenuous. We have real problems with our major weapons systems, both aircraft and ground...” He went further, admitting issues with magazine depth amplified by the “current situation,” and stressed the Army isn't at a satisfactory readiness level—relying instead on industry partnerships to plug holes. This isn't spin; it's a rare crack in the green-slide facade, showing how years of not facing hard truths leave the force brittle despite endless "readiness" reporting. breakingdefense.com/2026/03/army-i…

This brief clip shows a KMW amphibious carrier vehicle. These reduce the need for bridging and are therefore against union rules 😀

El rugby tiene una cosa maravillosa. Cuando un “gordo” que lleva una hora bregando en melés sudorosas sin ver una mierda salvo para placar o chocar, pega una galopada que acaba en ensayo. Gloria bendita para él y los que lo ven pasar.

You're out drinking and having a little fun. It's the first snow you've seen in Oklahoma in your lifetime. Naturally you think because it's below 32 degrees for more than 2 hours, ponds are safe to drive on like northerners do... then reality strikes.
