NEW: Gen Dan ‘Razin’ Caine gives detailed breakdown of Operation Midnight Hammer, says over 125 U.S. military aircraft were involved.
- Large B2 strike package left the continental U.S. on midnight Friday.
- Part of the package went east, the other went west as a decoy.
- The main strike package was comprised of 7 B2 bombers which flew for 18 hours into the target area.
- 14 Bunker Buster bombs were dropped.
- 75 precision guided weapons were used during the operation.
- “More than 125 US aircraft participated in this mission, including B2 stealth bombers, multiple flights of fourth and fifth gen fighters, dozens of air refueling tankers, a guided missile submarine, and a full array of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, as well as hundreds of maintenance and operational professionals.”
I don’t think many Americans understand what we just did. B-2 bombers took off with two 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs each. They took off from KC, MO, and flew nonstop to Iran, dropped bombs precisely on target, and flew all the fucking way back to Kansas City. That’s 30 hours!
Balls! Big ones! That’s my Air Force. That’s America. We will find you everywhere.
The GWOT Soldier (2001–2021)
They enlisted during the smoke of the towers—and kept fighting long after the headlines faded.
Weapon: M4 carbine, M249 SAW, M240, AT-4, NVGs, drones, and whatever they could bolt to a turret
Wars: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Horn of Africa, and more
Notable Battles: Fallujah, Baghdad, Korengal, Marjah, Mosul
Uniform: ACUs, Multicam, body armor, eye pro, dust
Doctrine: Counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, dismounted patrols, raids, nation-building, train-and-advise
They kicked in doors, cleared valleys, and chased shadows through cities and mountains—sometimes three or four deployments deep.
They fought with night vision, armored trucks, and smartphones—and still lost friends to IEDs and ambushes.
They were warriors, diplomats, medics, and mentors—often all in the same day.
They stood post while America argued. Fought while politicians changed goals. And served with quiet dignity long after the war lost its clarity.
And if they had a motto? “We were at war while you were at work.”
My grandpa has had the same washing machine since the 80s. It still works. He’s never had to replace it. Meanwhile, I have to buy a new one every five years.
It’s not just washing machines. It’s everything. Fridges, dishwashers, phones. We used to build things to last. Now we build things to sell.
If they don’t last, what’s the point?
I just want a washing machine that works for 40 years. Is that too much to ask?
Do you know why some military leaders probably meet cabinet officials in battle dress versus formal attire?
I surmise it's a lot easier to hide the fact that they're out of shape in front of a Defense Secretary that won't stand for it.
I said what I said.
Different physical standards for men and women in the U.S. military have existed for a long time. BUT, there were also combat roles that were male-only.
Then, under Obama, all combat roles were opened to men AND women. BUT, different physical fitness standards for men and women remained.
Today at @DeptofDefense — we fix this. All combat roles are open to men and women BUT they must all meet the same, high standard.
No standards will be lowered AND all combat roles will only have sex-neutral standards. Common sense.
DEI initiatives have no place in the military. The primary focus of the military, combat arms and adjacent, ought to be combat effectiveness. Promotion and advancement should be based on merit. Full stop.
We have many stupid laws in this country but one of the stupidest laws is the one that heavily regulates sound reduction devices for firearms, also know as suppressors.
These helpful hearing protection devices aren’t regulated at all in countries like New Zealand & South Africa.
How to Remove the Generals: A 2025 "Louisiana Maneuvers" 🧵
If @SecDef is having trouble getting public support for removing generals, I'll give him a technique even his opponents can't argue with.
Do you want to silence all of the critics? Let's see if they can win or lose.👇
🚨 This is the biggest scandal in news media history:
No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis.
Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID.
Trump & Elon deleted their funding.
Now Politico will go out of business.
The corruption is endless.
Good riddance
This is insane. In the Idaho National Guard, an Officer was removed from command for his Christian views.
The investigating officer recommended NO CHRISTIANS IN COMMAND.
This is insane.
The President’s guidance (lawful orders) is clear: No more DEI at @DeptofDefense.
The Pentagon will comply, immediately.
No exceptions, name-changes, or delays.
Marcus Freeman: "When you're at Notre Dame, faith is something that's openly talked about...Amongst our program, it's promoted. I'm not saying you have to be Catholic, but we want our young people to grow in their faith."
It's engrained in the Irish culture.
"I'm a believer."
