Deep Army cuts to help support realigning towards Indo-Pacific region
Austin Dahmer and Alexander Velez-Green are among Donald Trump’s defense advisors. Both are hawkish when it comes to dealing with China. Dahmer previously generated a report on how to help accomplish the Indo-Pacific strategy. He proposed $70 billion less for the Army each year. Together with other cuts, the Navy and Air Force would each […]
Valor Friday
Last week, as we wrapped up the dramatic rescue of Bat 21, I discussed the Medal of Honor earning heroics of Navy SEAL Lieutenant Thomas Norris. Norris received the Medal of Honor from President Ford in 1976, after having initially refused the award. He was presented with the medal at a White House ceremony where […]
Cruiser upgrades… oops.
Gotta say, we seem to have a severe problem with our floating (sometimes) service’s building and acquisitions group. The Littoral Combat ship cluster, the extended refurbs in port – if you could ever find a legit headline about the Navy getting something done ahead of time and under budget in the last (what, GENERATION or […]

Can Don read?) Trump filed a defamation suit against Stephanopoulos after he asserted that Trump was found […]
World’s most loved Naval Aviator gets medal
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro feels a need…a need for speed. He knows that while everyone has a gun, there can be only one at the top. Del Toro has given one of the service’s highest civilian honors to Tom Cruise. Maverick has gotten the Distinguished Public Service medal reports Breitbart. He’s gotten […]
They just approach things differently
I keep seeing all these articles on China’s rapidly increasing capabilities. Now, in the past, manufacturers called the Chinese the best thieves on the planet – not innovators at all, but let a prototype or plan each them and they would “liberate” the designs, and have a version of the product hitting the market […]
