Employer is a US-based private security company seeking multiple Evacuation / Extraction Team Agents to conduct evacuation missions of individuals and families who are currently located in Sudan. Only highly experienced candidates who possess at least 5+ years of military experience in this region of Africa will be considered for this role – no exceptions. Preferred candidates are already located in Sudan or a bordering country. Non-competitive candidates will simply not be considered or contacted. [More]
So they don’t have to comply with diversity, equity, and inclusion rules…?
Next thing you’ll be telling me they don’t train with empathy bellies…

Reminds me of NatLamp’s Frank Rizzo ad.

“As President Biden has made clear, we will take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing,” Secretary Austin continued. [More]
Unless it’s within our borders.
Aside from leaving those open and/or rigorously admitting confederates of the people we’re taking out elsewhere, we’re also set on simultaneously disarming you and setting known predators loose to further our case for that.
What’s the foreign entanglement worth me and mine dying for over there, anyway? That’s the litmus test I use before expecting it from someone else.

Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]
Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.
Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?

There is a lack of media curiosity. [More]
Since they’re the “only ones” the First Amendment applies to, I think we ought to knock off talking about this.

How lumping the good in with the bad and the healthy in with the troubled, ignoring politically inconvenient realities, and mandating increased restrictions on the fundamental rights of all demonstrates excellence, dignity, and respect is not explained. Such “equity” seems a curious way of saying “Thank you for your service.” [More]
Is a politically self-serving report that ignores the basics and tells servicemembers they’re not trusted really the best way to help those in serious pain and immediate need?

I see there have been all kinds of recent incidents lately, and still think someone needs to look at the “Chinese companies” for administration ties. I’m also not sure North Korea and Russia wouldn’t benefit with some copycats.
