Our military is sick.
Rotten, self-seeking brass.
Woke idiocy from the political leadership.
An officer class riddled with careerism, risk-aversion and extreme self-promotion.
All in the service of an outdated, irrelevant, self-destructive globalist foreign policy that has us intervening everywhere and succeeding nowhere.

Suicides within the LGBT community are well above the national average. The enlistment of LGBT people in the military is steadily increasing. Perhaps there is a corollary ?
Take someone who rightfully so got the jitters, self medicated especially alcohol (lost 2 friends to that one, one depression one overdose, nearly a third but that bottle got corked), lock them in their house for a year and a half just to see Team America get buttfKtd on international TV...yeah, I could see any and all those factors tipping the scale.
[DAILYWIRE] The U.S. Air Force revealed this week that they had received intelligence that five individuals who boarded a flight out of Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance... International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul back in August intended to hijack the aircraft and that U.S. forces had to quickly move to stop the situation from happening.
The revelation was made in a statement released by the Air Force:
As a steady stream of C-17s entered HKIA, PRTF personnel started tracking military and commercial flights into HKIA. "The data they were tracking was pivotal to managing airflow/airspace and requests for additional airlift support based on the numbers they got through the gates," [Lt. Col. Brian] Desautels said. On one occasion after they received an intel tip, five people onboard one of the commercial flights intended to hijack the aircraft. "Our team worked to get them clear of the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... ramp, relocated to the north side away from friendly forces, then ultimately onto the south side where the situation was handled," he said.
The statement also revealed that combat aircraft on the ground were about to be swarmed when they barely managed to take off on just "a sliver of remaining runway."

...I'm going to ask that you all imagine what would have happened if five or six idiots had decided to face down an enraged USAF loadmaster. Who would have then backed up by as many of the cockpit crew who could get there. One way or another, people would have died.

[LIBYAREVIEW] Libya’s parties have agreed on an Action Plan to withdraw foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya, claiming that its implementation will start in November.The 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) in Libya had discussed the mechanisms for the withdrawal of mercenaries and foreign forces during its meeting in Geneva, last Friday,
The sources told Sky News Arabia that the plan includes four main points, the first of which is the withdrawal of foreign forces to agreed points in two cities, provided that they never leave their positions.
The second step includes deploying UN-observers to work on implementing the foreign forces’ withdrawal in a gradual and balanced manner. "Libya has already requested the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... and the Security Council to deploy the observers," the sources revealed.
The third step is for the observers to monitor the actual number of foreign forces and mercenaries, and document them accurately.
"Finally, the mercenaries are to be deported from Libya in successive batches according to a timeline, which estimates say will end by 2023," the sources concluded.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... , welcomed the comprehensive Action Plan for the "gradual, balanced, and sequenced process of the withdrawal of mercenaries, and imported muscle from Libyan territory."
Guterres called on all Libyan and international parties to work to implement the plan. He noted that the Action Plan is a cornerstone in the implementation of the October 2020 ceasefire agreement.
Guterres believes that "the deployment of an initial team of United Nations ceasefire monitors will contribute to creating the conditions for successful implementation of the Action Plan."

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... hunger strike set to begin in Israeli jails, Islamic Jihad chief Ziad al-Nakhaleh says the terror group would be willing to go to war on behalf of its prisoners.
"Paleostinian Islamic Jihad will not leave its members in Zionist prisons to be victims at the hands of the enemy. Accordingly, we will stand with them and support them with everything we have, even if this means we must go to war for their sake," says al-Nakhaleh.
"No agreements or any other considerations will prevent us from that," he says.
Hundreds of Islamic Jihad members in Israeli jails are beginning a hunger strike on Wednesday in protest of new prison conditions, the Paleostinian Prisoners Club said earlier today.
[IsraelTimes] Around 250 Islamic Jihad prisoners will begin a hunger strike today in protest of new Israeli policies toward Paleostinian detainees, the Paleostinian Prisoners Club announces.
Since six Paleostinian security prisoners fled Gilboa jail in northern Israel in early September, the Israeli prison administration has taken a number of measures in an attempt to reduce the chances of another escape. The policies have included breaking apart clusters of Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... prisoners, moving some to other jails and solitary confinement; family visits have also been postponed.
"There is only one demand: return the situation to the way it was before [the escape]," Prisoners Club director Qaddura Fares tells The Times of Israel in a phone call.
An Israeli Prison Services spokesperson says the jails have yet to see a formal hunger strike begin, however. Normally, the prisoners themselves would send a letter to the prison administration announcing their intention to commence such a strike.
The dramatic flight of the Paleostinian runaways captivated Paleostinians, although Israeli forces caught all six and returned them to prison two weeks later. They were subsequently charged with escaping prison, which carries a maximum additional sentence of seven years under Israeli law.
[IsraelTimes] Hillel Yaffe Medical Center says it is able to keep operating, aside from non-urgent elective procedures, by switching to alternate computer systems
The Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in the northern city of Hadera said Wednesday that it had been targeted in a ransomware attack by hackers, but that it had largely managed to overcome the damage.
The hospital said it had received no advance warning of the attack on its computer systems.
Medical services at the hospital were continuing as usual as it switched to alternate systems, it said, aside from some non-urgent treatments. The hospital said it would keep the public informed of developments.
The incident was immediately reported to the Health Ministry and the Israel National Cyber Directorate, it said.
The Health Ministry said in a statement that it was working with the hospital to fully restore it to regular operations.
"The Health Ministry and the national cyber directorate were updated with details of the incident and are cooperating on investigating and dealing with it," the ministry said. It added that it had sent warnings about the matter to other hospitals as a preventative measure.
The Laniado Hospital in Netanya said it was coordinating with the Magen David Adom ambulance service and was ready to receive any patients who needed treatment that was not available at Hillel Yaffe due to the attack.
Last month, Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point reported that Israeli institutions are targeted with about twice as many cyberattacks as the average in other countries around the world, including the country’s health sector, which experiences an average of 1,443 a week.
The most targeted sectors around the world, including Israel, are education and research, followed by government and security organizations, and then health institutions, Check Point said at the time.
The report found that, on average, one in every 60 Israeli organizations or firms is targeted every week with ransomware attacks, an increase of 30 percent over the rate in 2020.
[IsraelTimes] After the cyberattack on the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, the National Cyber directorate says it fears other hospitals will be targeted, according to Channel 13.
The directorate also issues a general cyber warning to Israeli businesses to be aware Israel is being targeted.
According to Channel 12, Israeli officials fear Iranian hackers could in the future target hospitals to disconnect patients from life support.
[IsraelTimes] A cyberattack on Israel’s Hillel Yaffe Medical Center is still ongoing, hours on.
In a letter to Israel’s hospitals, the Health Ministry urges them to print out patients’ medical files, amid fears the ransomware attack could target other hospitals.
According to Channel 13, Israeli officials don’t believe an enemy state is behind the hack.

[NPASYRIA] The United States will not welcome any step towards normalization with Syria’s Assad, nor will it lift sanctions on Syria, the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, said on Wednesday.
In a tripartite meeting with his Emirati counterpart, Abdullah bin Zayed and the Israeli Yair Lapid, Blinken added that the US policy towards Syria will not change, and "we will remain opposed to any rebuilding efforts until there is a political progress."
"What we have not done and what we do not intend to do is to express any support for efforts to normalize relations or rehabilitate Mr. Assad or lifted a single sanction on Syria or changed our position to oppose the reconstruction of Syria, until there is irreversible progress toward a political solution, which we believe is necessary and vital," Blinken added.
"We have continued to work to push the Assad regime to pledge to respect the international laws, human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... , the military truces, and accept a real political transition," he noted.
The US Secretary of State indicated that they have been focusing their military efforts in Syria on "targeting any krazed killergang that targets us or our allies. We also seek to have a comprehensive political solution to the Syrian issue."
"The thing we won’t do is that we will never welcome any initiatives of normalization with the Assad regime, nor will we support any reconstruction efforts until there is irreversible process toward a political solution," he stated.
The United States has suspended its diplomatic presence in Syria since 2012.
