Just an Infantryman trying to close with and destroy. Motivated to make the U.S. Infantry lethal again. Active Duty LTC. 11M to 11B to 11A. Views are my own.
Aggressive reminder: The sole purpose of our military is to close with and destroy the enemies of the of the United States. Deterring potential adversaries by our demonstrated ability to accomplish this violently.
Nah, you guys know what? I’m just gonna come out and say it. And when I’m done saying it, tell me if it’s “blatant Islamophobia” or just…. you know… reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not
Ok Amy, since you seem to have an IQ lower than the temperature of the room I’m in, let me explain this slowly:
When a service member cheers the murder of an innocent American, it is not “disagreeing with a podcaster.” It is:
1.A violation of their oath to support and defend
“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.”
-General William T. Sherman
The gruesome video of the fatal knife attack on Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte is drawing attention from MAGA influencers seeking to elevate the issue of violent urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases. axios.com/2025/09/08/iry…
For the first time in a quarter century of service, I am struck by a sobering thought.
That there are people currently in uniform that would cheer over the death of some of us.
I always thought we were one team with a singular purpose.
I feel betrayed.
It stings. Deeply.
I’m barely interested in this “Zohran” person, that’s for NY to figure out. I do however take issue with being labeled “Islamophobic” lazily and without context.
And I just gave you the context. It is informed with experience.
I’m still confused why military officers have to renounce citizenship to other countries to earn a commission.
But a dual citizen born abroad can sit in Congress and write defense policy.
You can’t hold a rifle with two flags. But apparently, you can hold a pen.
Strange. 🤔
Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez at a summit in Mexico City this weekend tells the audience while speaking in Spanish: "I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American."
Can we just talk about the fact that the President let Marines in the Oval Office with swords, rifles, and bayonets?
Given the low trust societal breakdown we are seeing lately, this warms my heart.
He KNOWS who he can trust.
More of this. Much much more of this please.

Let me rewrite this for you:
“2,500 casualties and 900 deaths at Omaha Beach wasn’t a result of failure, it was a miracle of planning and execution under fire. Most assumed we’d lose far more. Bradley didn’t cause a tragedy. He led men through one.”
Hope this helps.
The Final Word on SECWAR’s Speech
He laid down everything in simple terms. No buzzword bingo. No Ivy League wordsmithing. It was a speech styled in the finest traditions of someone raised professionally at Fort Benning, GA, the home of the Infantry. I recognized it immediately.
They Only Love Us When We’re Dead
Let me explain why @PeteHegseth’s struggle cuts deep for so many of us.
He jokes about receiving 100% negative media coverage as @SecDef. Classic infantry humor. But behind the laugh is something serious, something warriors like me feel deep in
In case you wonder what we — and President Trump — are up against.
100% NEGATIVE coverage from so-call “mainstream” press in the first 100 days. PERFECT SCORE.
(Come on @RobertKennedyJr & @elonmusk , you guys can do better!)
There is a firm rule in war. If your enemies still have the gall to advance, you aren’t killing enough of them.
So, kill more.
Until the fear of death outweighs everything they believe in.
Overnight, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO), trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea.
The vessel was known by our
