Notes from the Resistance
Airmen covered up details of fatal shooting after ‘joking’ with pistol [More]
Your ” focus is on ensuring that justice is served ,” Col. Holmes? And the liars haven’t even been drummed out, let alone dishonorably discharged?

What do our “pro-gun” Commander in Chief and Secretary of Defense have to say about this?
Sixteen Years Has Passed Since the Fort Hood Massacre and Nidal Hasan Is Out of Options [More]
Well, so are our servicemen.
I wonder how many gun owners and gun groups did what I asked, and spent a minute spreading the word and reminding Donald Trump of his promises.

Well, that took all of 30 seconds.
About the same amount of time as it takes a reader to leave a comment and do nothing. About the same amount of time to read this far…
“As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.” [More]
Will any “gun rights groups” add their voices? Why or why not? How about just plain gun owners like …you?
It occurred to me that, were I a division / post commander now I would require all non-chaplains above the rank of SFC/PSG to pack and, if they didn’t have their own POW to draw from the arms rooms and pack those. [More]
What, your guys lower haven’t gone through background checks? Since when has limiting arms to elite “Only Ones” worked out? And why are so many cheering this on?

Yeah? Who else has been asking?
Any “gun groups”?

President Trump promised to allow weapons carry (and later CCW) by military personnel on bases way back in 2015 [More]
If not now, when? Why not ask him?
Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel. [More]
Treason or incompetence? Why not both?
Army secretary hails ‘heroism’ of soldiers who tackled alleged Fort Stewart shooter: ‘Absolutely saved lives’- Six soldiers put themselves in harm’s way when Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly shot five people at Georgia base [More]
And President Trump says “the perpetrator of the shooting at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia will be ;prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’’
A question, if it’s not too impertinent:
What happened to noises Trump 1.0 was making seven years ago “to Allow Troops to Carry Personal Weapons on Bases”…?
I hope that merits a more intelligent and responsive MAGA rejoinder than “Would you rather have Kamala?”
We’re here because of illegitimate government, and because America no longer believes in the Posse and the Militia. [More]
And by extension we’re here because, except for individual exceptions, America no longer believes in itself.
Sig Sauer’s controversial 6.8x51mm XM7 service rifle has now received a formal standard type classification, with the official designation changing to M7. This is a vote of confidence for the weapon weeks after an Army captain publicly criticized the rifle as potentially unsafe, ineffective, and overly expensive, claims that the service and Sig Sauer subsequently vehemently rebutted. [More]
I did policies and procedures for a defense contractor and worked plenty of proposals, and there are always audit trails to follow. What’s not known is if any side understandings with decisison makers were reached. Still, there are always threads to pull.

So Ursula, get your gun and make sure that everyone else gets theirs too. [More]
That’s the thing– when it comes to the people, she won’t, so by the time they’re forced to hand them out it’ll be too late.
This article is light on that, but the bottom line is, tech and drones notwithstanding, the men on the ground with rifles will be the ones controlling it.

The U.S. government just signed a jaw-dropping $750 million contract for over 800 million rounds of ammo—without a single press release. From suppressed .300 Blackout to exotic 6.5 Creedmoor and non-lethal stunner rounds, this isn’t just training stock—it’s a blueprint for future conflicts. Why is SOCOM bypassing standard supply chains and ordering tailor-made munitions? What operations are they preparing for that demand 11,000 rounds per soldier? In this video, we break down the public documents, the buried clues in the Statement of Work, and what this insane stockpile really says about America’s near-future playbook. Whether it’s foreign ops, domestic control, or something we haven’t seen coming, one thing’s clear: they’re preparing fast—and quietly. Stay sharp, dig deep, and don’t let this story vanish under the radar. [Watch]
This guy is good.

A shocking interview revealed that active duty service members got in the way of a Colorado raid that ended in the arrest of over 100 illegal aliens, with a DEA agent explaining that soldiers were acting as armed security for dangerous gang members in a drug-filled underground nightclub. [More]
So, what is it they’ve been recruiting…?

“If the U.S. got into a hot conflict with a great power, we would run out of munitions in a week.” [More]
What do we spend all this money on the military for, again…?
This hardly comes as a surprise to some “top men.” You just gotta wonder what Sec. Hegseth’s plan for correcting things is.
