Love it. I joined in 2002. Texting my fellow Marines after we saw @SecWar 's speech, we were all laughing (Sounded like something we'd hear from one of our shithot Platoon Commanders, which is a good thing). He no shit adopted Marine Corps Values. Which, obviously, have been proven to be very effective. Fucking loved every minute of it. If you haven't served or you have flown under the radar of the woke cloak, welcome to reality. You should all be praising this man. He's a grunt who has fought on the frontlines. I've always wanted someone who has been there and truly been in the fight to be in the position that he is in. Embrace this moment and better yourselves.
One of the things that truly sets us apart from everyone else is that not only do we include bonus cards with a lot of our orders, but they're also legit. A $0.99 order could include a $40+ card.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

Good morning! Enjoy today, it could be worse!
At least you didn't sleep under the stars in a bag while it rained all night and now you gotta get up and do Infantry stuff.
🚨 HOLY CRAP. JD VANCE IS LIVID!
"Everybody repeating the lie this is some innocent woman out for a drive in MN - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU."
"What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ENDED, DRAGGED by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg, so you THINK maybe he's a little bit SENSTIVE about somebody ramming him with an automobile?!"
"What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America."
"What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job."
"If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws."
"You people in the media have been LYING ABOUT THIS ATTACK. She was trying to RAM THIS GUY with her car! He shot back. He's already been seriously wounded before!"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
BREAKING: We just moved to subpoena Rep. Ilhan Omar and her brother/husband’s immigration records in the Oversight Committee.
Federal marriage fraud and knowingly entering a marriage to evade immigration laws is a serious felony punishable by prison time, steep fines, denaturalization and deportation. Marrying a sibling is illegal in every state. We intend to get to the bottom of it.
END THE FRAUD. DENATURALIZE AND DEPORT ILHAN OMAR.
As a young EOD tech, most days I was holding something in my hands that could kill me. I learned to be fully present in that moment. I couldn’t afford to be a thought wanderer. No matter what you’re doing, focus on the moment you’re in right now, because now is all we have.
GWOT vets spent 20 years fighting a war with our hands tied behind our backs. Politicians saddled us with moronic ROEs that gave every advantage to the enemy, while simultaneously cutting us off at the knees.
This is what it looks like when you let us do our fucking jobs.
