Clipped Wings

Air Force general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to prep by firing ‘a clip’ at a target, and ‘aim for the head’ [More]

I know the use of that term for “magazine” is considered heresy in most gun circles.

I used it a time or two myself in the early days. I don’t get too bent out of shape because no less an authority than the late Col. David Hackworth used it on occasion:

Now let’s talk center mass…

Never Mind

Received via email from Tully Rinckey PLLC:

After careful consideration and over a year after it was implemented, the Department of Defense has decided to no longer enforce the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members. Despite the fact that less than 100 service members died from COVID-19 since the pandemic started, many active duty, Guard and Reserve members who refused the COVID-19 vaccine faced removal from the service. This impacted military readiness and those who faced removal now need to understand their rights and how they can legally proceed with the reinstatement process. [More]

Or in the words of Emily Litella:

I guess that’s one less concern for gun-owning servicemembers to worry about, but the questions that remain are “Why the sudden big turnaround?” and “Why haven’t there been screaming headlines and demands for answers?”

Think of It as ‘Repurposing’

I wrote to you last week the anti-gunners are hijacking the annual military funding bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act (or NDAA) again with gun control. This time they’ve added an amendment to set-up a program for so called “safe-storage.” If this passes, you can count on them using this to justify extreme gun control. [More]

I’ve got a Democrat violence monopolist and an outbound Vichycon in the Senate, and “thanks” to redistricting, a f***ing communist in the House, so I don’t see much point in spending time begging them not to spit on me that could best be allocated to more productive outcomes.

From the Same Government That Wants to Know About YOUR Guns

The Pentagon Has No Idea How Much Military Equipment It Actually Left Behind In Afghanistan [More]

But it’s OK because they know love is love and whitey is racist.

And speaking of registries, a section of my recent Firearms News piece on braces also outlines some pretty pathetic details about the incompetent recordkeeping for the NFRTR.

Good News for Some

At last a little light is shining on the social engineers who have been using wokeness to debilitate American armed forces. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) have issued a report finding that indoctrinating the US military with Critical Race Theory and LGBT ideology has significantly weakened it… [More]

America’s enemies love it!

Amazing how the domestic enemies in charge fail at every goal in the Preamble that is the basis for assigning them delegated powers…

Ready to turn in those “assault weapons” now?

Just Think of Them as Commonsense Global Arms Safety Laws

State Department working to prevent US weaponry in Ukraine from falling into the black market [More]

Like the government did in Afghanistan or like the government does here?

I’m just waiting for some to turn up at crime scenes in Mexico…

And don’t State and Ned Price have more important things to think about?

Off We Go, After the Filed Responder

In a report that just broke on Fox digital, the Air Force is taking “full responsibility” for the unauthorized release of LtCol Jennifer-Ruth Green’s personal military records… [More]

It says something about her when you realize she didn’t want her victimization put out there yet the knowledge would probably work in her favor politically. That tells me there are some things she won’t exploit just to win, and that’s a mark of character.

The other thing this tells me is those releasing Air Force information sure are selective– I had to file a damn lawsuit to get them to cough up that mass-murdering @$$hole’s court-martial records after it refused to comply with my FOIA.

In the Navy, Yes You Can Sail the Seven Seas

Sailor convicted for selling illegal machine guns in Virginia… As a master at arms, he served in the Navy’s law enforcement community… [More]

So he wasn’t “just” a sailor. He was a Naval “Only One.”

I wonder who the snitch is, and if the feds had something on him or if he decided things all on his own.

I also wonder if his lawyer knew about NFRTR “reliability” issues…?

Shot to Hell

The National Guard administered the COVID-19 vaccine to multiple service members who were lined up for the influenza vaccine, including a member who objected to the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds, according to officials and one of the members. [More]

And the people who did it haven’t been arrested and offered reduced sentences in exchange for giving up who ordered them…?

If there are complications, all the weight of the world will be on the side that says you can’t prove it’s due to the jab.

What Happened to Article I, Section 8, Clause 15?

New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Kentucky, and Illinois are deploying several national guard units to the U.S.- Mexico border. [More]

Better than nothing, I guess, but this wouldn’t be needed if the affected states had citizen militias in accordance with the Constitution like they’re supposed to…

Maybe If They’d Let You Game, Party, and Sleep In…

US Army Misses Recruiting Goal by 25% [More]

That’s what you get when you condition an entire generation that identifying as “exempt” is something to embrace.

That and irresponsible parenting and “social safety nets” mean a good number don’t have to work.

Enemies foreign and domestic are encouraged.

Much respect for young people I see working entry jobs while working their way through school… too bad so many of them have been conditioned to vote for the party that will lay claim to their earnings while attributing their later successes in life to systemic privilege.

CAUdacious

Wing’s Twitter account also said, “[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too… I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS… [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power,” Wing said on Twitter. [More]

As in “caucasian,” and she’s not racist? Even when calling white women “Karens“?

I suppose I’d never work in this town again if I offered a rejoinder about her having a sense of  … hey, did I just invent a word…?

Tangentially-related UPDATE

‘Implicit Bias’ Training Cost Me My Nursing Job – States are forcing medical professionals to make false confessions of racism. I refused to go along. [More]

So apparently, all that “power” and “privilege” the majority is supposed to have is manifested by being dragged in front of everyone for a humiliating public struggle session…

I wonder what excuse they’ll use when the plan comes together and the majority becomes the minority? Or will excuses be unnecessary at that point?

Schwurhand Over Fist

“Military officers swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath of fealty to an individual or to an office,” the letter explains. “All civilians, whether they swear an oath or not, are likewise obligated to support and defend the Constitution as their highest duty.” [More]

You know, the same reason these signatories engaging in some seditious conspiracy of their own hate Oath Keepers…

And Thank You for Your Service

Attorney R. Davis Younts told Just the News the new CDC guidance won’t change military mandates “but absolutely should. [More]

Especially considering what could happen:

“If they are tried and convicted in the appeals court, the case reaches the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. If a service member is convicted in this court, they would likely receive a dishonorable discharge, a bad-conduct discharge, or, in the case of an officer, a dismissal.”

And you know what that would mean.
