Pentagon reporter for the @WashTimes & ex-Army officer - Persian Gulf War vet. These are all just my dumb thoughts - not speaking for anyone else.

@evanscribe I don’t know if the personality was the same but there is a strong resemblance with Alexander Skarsgaard. That was solid casting

It's strange being a former military officer & coming across a general that you knew back in the day when you were 2nd Lieutenants together. (And then you remember that he was a nitwit who couldn't pour pee out of a boot if you wrote the directions on the heel)

@RickyBarksdale I certainly agree with the idea of awarding Emmys/Oscars for stunt work. It's a worthy endeavor to pursue.

I should have been suspicious when they said the phlebotomist was named Sweeney Todd.

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

At my doctor’s office for some routine blood work and they’re still doing mask theater. Jeez

Aaron Schroedinger is both being traded to the Jets and not being traded to the Jets at the same time.

For the cost of a $2 billion B-2 Spirit Bomber, the Defense Department could purchase a good, second-hand Wifi system for our use here in the Pentagon.

I liked "Everything, All Together, Over Here, Over Where? Over There!" quite a bit. (And I think Michelle Yeoh's Oscar is well-deserved) But I still say #TopGunMaverick was seriously the Best Picture of the year.

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

BREAKING: The Defense Department is requesting a $842 billion budget for FY 2024 but isn't investing any of it in an adequate wifi system for Pentagon reporters.

"Top Gun:Maverick" wasn't going to win one of the major Oscars because it's a movie that has good things to say about the US and the military.

But, Tom Cruise deserves an Oscar for making the movie that saved Hollywood.

#TomCruise #TopGunMaverick

@brad_polumbo Why do you hate the troops? That's what I'm getting here.

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

“Identifies as Asian”

So we’re actually doing this, are we?

NPR, you never cease to amaze me.

#BREAKING: Michelle Yeoh wins the Oscar for best actress making history as the first person who identifies as Asian to win the award.

Nothing new under the sun.

So #JaneFonda goes on #TheView and (apparently) jokes that pro-life politicians should be murdered for their views.

And people say #TuckerCarlson's show fans the flames of violence.

(#JaneFonda earlier in her career with some loyal fans.)

I grew up as a Navy brat in the "Hollow Military" 1970s following the end of the Vietnam War. But the Pentagon brass back then publicly insisted that everything was A-OK, i.e., "Don't worry about broken equipment and recruiting problems. It's all good."

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

@salisbot If I may also offer "Ice Station Zebra" and "On the Beach" to your list for consideration

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

@johnkonrad That sounds like a story I'd like to look into, John.

[Mike Glenn @mrglenn]

@senatorshoshana Francis Ford Coppola put Brando in shadows in Apocalypse Now because he was so fat when he arrived on the set in the Philippines. Not exactly the image of a renegade Green Beret colonel leading an insurgent army deep in the jungle.

The President's 'proposed' fy 2024 budget would give US military and DoD civilians a 5.2 % pay bump. Sounds good, right?

However, the US inflation rate is 6.4%

This budget will never become law.
