Top Pentagon officials think we’re 6-12 months away from ISIS-K having the ability to attack the US
The Biden Administration keeps on winning. Just when you thought the threat of ISIS had been eliminated, Biden’s poorly executed Afghanistan evacuation has not only emboldened them but given them a new base of operations.

Washington high school cuts red, white, & blue 9/11 tribute because it might offend
A Washington State high school nixed a red, white, and blue 9/11 20th anniversary memorial because it might offend and be considered racially insensitive.

Jeff LPH 3 sent along this story that the Army is shuttering the Asymmetric Warfare Group. For nearly 15 years a little known but highly influential Army group has been in the middle of how the Army learns immediate lessons from combat, adapts to the evolving battlefield and saves soldiers’ lives.

Valor Friday
This Valor Friday piece is hot off the presses. The medal hasn’t even been awarded yet, in fact, it’s that fresh.
