All breasts are equal, but some are more equal than others.
As for the ogling, the US is party to some damn UN treaty that grants citizens the right to radio reception. Since both radio and light are forms of electromagnetic radiation, we therefore have the right to receive light waves, or in the common parlance, to ogle.
'Breasts degrade wimmin's integrity and prospects because they are used to objectify and uhh... ogle them into submission. Henceforth, surgical removal of breasts is mandatory for entry.'

^ /sarc, Grom. It was obviously some REMFs idea to fiddle with things already working fine. A whole uni change, when just a patch or etching would do. Usually, they change around stuff to accommodate new contracts for gear and uniforms. I don't know what it's like over there, but I'll bet it's not much different. Here, they use Powerpoint for that.

Engaging Snark . Separate the military into two branches . Biological Males and Biological Females. If a biological male wants to join the Biological Female Branch it will have to get its dangly bits removed at its own cost. The military will not supply the drugs needed to keep it stable. Snark/Off.

Seriously, she needs to Man-up if she is going to be a senior combat leader? Hyper-sensitivity isn't the mark of a leader trained in the application of extreme violence on an industrial scale.

Not saying the Female soldiers I served with were anything other than competent and good soldiers - they were. But the deskbound HQ types when running their PT uniforms...
When viewed from behind they looked like 2 bulldogs fighting in a duffelbag.

Umm that looked bad. Lets also say that for the males, some of the fat HQ deskbound looked like a beachball with a rubberband around the middle, so it goes on both.

From the photos at the link, it looks like to get promoted, you get the new rank pinned on your ... sternum.

This reminds me of Star Trek. Every new show/movie seemed to need some kind of uniform change. Some major, some minor.

Please, nobody tell this poor REMF officer about how real NCOs used to get their rank "Pinned" - she might not want collar or soulder rank back. Airborne (blood) wings usually administered the same way.
Be glad she's not a Marine or she'd be demanding sanitary pads be put on the blood stripe on the trousers.

Fine. All rank will now be tattooed on their forehead. If it changes, you get another tattoo. Design will have to change so rank can be added. Woe unto he who gets demoted cause that belt sander taking it off is going sting a bit.
[AmericanThinker via Lucianne] On April 15, Preident Biden signed an Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation. Contrary to its title, this EO is not about Russia. It is designed to allow the Biden administration to deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government.
The Biden administration unilaterally makes the determination and requires neither criminal acts nor intent. The punishment is blocking assets and a prohibition on any dealing with the accused person. Spouses and adult children of individuals found guilty by accusation under this EO are punished, too.
Section 1 of the EO enumerates prohibited activities and defines guilty persons as those "determined" by the Secretary of Treasury and/or Secretary of State in consultation with the Attorney General to be:
(a)(ii) responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, any of the following for or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, the Government of the Russian Federation:
(A) malicious cyber-enabled activities;
(B) interference in a United States or other foreign government election;
(C) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the United States or abroad;
(D) transnational corruption;

(B) interference in a United States or other foreign government election;
Did he just declare the actions of the State Department, and the "3-Letter Alphabet Agencies", against the law? Of course there is always the proviso that such actions are "okay when we do it".
So won't this affect the Social Media Giants more so?
It seems to clearly address the Social Medias acceptance of $$$$ and help to/from Russian fronted cyber groups to skew our recent elections and other economic/industry activities.
58-1: Definition of counter-revolutionary activity:
A counter-revolutionary action is any action aimed at overthrowing, undermining or weakening of the power of workers' and peasants' Soviets... and governments of the USSR and Soviet and autonomous republics, or at the undermining or weakening of the external security of the USSR and main economical, political and national achievements of the proletarial revolution
Direct translation of the article in regnum.ru By Aleksandr Belov
[REGNUM] Ten years after the end of the somewhat successful " reset " of the Barack Obama administration in relations with Russia, there can be no question of any objective discussion of Washington's Russian course due to reflexive belligerence and intolerance to dissent, writes Daniel Larison in See an article in Responsible Statecraft on April 20.

Many in the US Expert community spent 4 years blaming Russia for something it didn't do. I can understand Russia hating the US expert community but the reverse seems insane.
#3
I'm inclined to think not many Americans love their 'expert' community either. In some countries, the moment experts form a community, it's time to disappear 'em all and appoint new experts.

I have had several contacts with Russians and so far I have found them to be so much like ourselves. I find the Chinese far more war oriented. The closer you get to Finland the Russians look like Americans. When Trump was in office I saw a great opportunity for mutual cooperation but not so with the Chinese. The media and Democrats fought Trump at every opportunity. Space program could have increased greatly but now Russia and China are shooting to the stars at our expense. Now with the Ukraine Putin has no respect for Biden. It is his time to act freely. Always working to restore former glory and pride.

I was standing in the ATM line (University town) and heard two postgrads talking about their mutual acquaintance's Bad Luck: "He had spent a college degree and Masters in International Politics, focused on Kremlinology, and the blasted Russians had overthrown Communism! There went his cushy government job!!"
How many Leftists can't forgive the Russians for betraying Communism are employed as 'Experts'?

Russia has four killer satellites that can shut destroy GPS satellites essential for civilian and military navigation on a massive scale. Russia can do what it wants to as far as invading Ukraine and the world will not do a thing about it and Putin knows it.

Ebbomoger Speaking for Boskone4589, Back in the 90s I worked for a mapping company that depended on GPS to align our maps with the road network.
Then everyone had a smart phone and had a map app in their pocket, and you know what Apple did? Instead of aligning maps to aerial photos they tracked the movement of the phones to get far superior road maps that doesn't require GPS.
Taking out GPS might effect planes and ships and war in the wilds but it really won't make much difference to the civilian transportation network.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
