The number of troops killed during the Iran War dropped from 18 to 14 on Thursday on the Pentagon's website. Officials gave conflicting reasons for the change. The New York Times is reporting that anonymous sources say the number dropped because four deaths happened after Trump had declared a ceasefire. read more
Confidence is essential in combat, but swagger is dangerous because it tempts leaders into believing they already know what will happen, or how a battle or war will end. The enemy always gets a vote. Swagger may energize political supporters and produce memorable television clips, but it is not strategy. Strategy begins with a clear understanding of the enemy, realistic assessments of what military force can accomplish, and enough humility to recognize that wars rarely unfold according to plan. More than two decades after learning that lesson in southern Iraq, I still remind myself never to predict the outcome of a war while the enemy is still fighting. Secretary Hegseth and President Trump would be well served to remember that lesson today. read more

The regime requires a substantial force of poorly trained, badly led, roided-up, violent thugs more than willing to do its lying and killing. They even have a blueprint - youtu.be - albeit one with far nicer uniforms. But, then, those guys had Hugo Boss in the design shop, not Junior's recycled hunting costumes.
Speaking of vetting, how on earth did Tom Homan get his job?
I mean, explaining away the $50,000 in cash he walked away with on that CAVA bag?
Pareon me: Swept under the rug, gone, forgotten by the regime - poof!
A regime which needs Tom Homan as a symbol of its particular brand of law-and-order.
Also to keep the forced emigration convoys running on time.
Because Stephen Miller is incapable of adjusting his own feeding times without going FUBAR.
Sheet for brains, venality, dodginess, a withered heart, and greed inform this rancid regime.
From top to bottom.the top, through and through.
Make sure you thank a Republican, because this is their wetdream come alive.
