An ISI Discussion about Masculinity

I talked with ISI about physiognomy checks, the traditional family, masculinity, and more. We are cultivating a healthy cult of strength, folks. https://t.co/m93os5b3HC

Imperial Circus

Transforming the Empire into One of Soy

This has nothing to do with preparing our special operations forces to be more lethal. Get your priorities straight. We have wars coming our job is to win them. https://t.co/AcgJWNHOLN

Well-written summary of the expansion of SOF by Mark Bowden. People may not like it, but over-reliance on SOF has proven to be a valid and sustainable strategy.https://t.co/joJfPXeT7s

Hmmm...

A good development?

The DeepState was just entirely cut out of the loop on control of US Special Operations forces.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick named as Service Secretary to a force described as "ancient in its origin, a [w]holy different kind of force, forces which are too unconventional". https://t.co/MOj1mxct53

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller, himself a former Green Beret, announces that he has directed the Special Operations civilian leadership to report directly to the SecDef. This puts Special Operations command "on par with the military services for the first time."

— Lara Seligman (@laraseligman) November 18, 2020

SecDef Miller's move for more oversight of SOF is actually based on a bipartisan congressional bill signed during the Obama Administration. https://t.co/3OKDnBVttv

Will It Be Inspiring or Useful?

Or a marketing gimmick of a declining imperial military?

The future of U.S. Special Operations will rely less on brawny door-kickers and increasingly on technologists armed with software. https://t.co/0NxnQSUlDq

The 40th Anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw

Dumb Devil Mouse

Boys and men may rely on the "classics" for entertainment, but fantasizing about being a warrior isn't enough. Even the new Dune franchise and the Lord of the Rings Amazon series will probably be woke mass entertainment. Go lift, train, and get the right mindset to be a real warrior.
