Pentagon Press Association just released a new statement:
"Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America."
Just had a meeting with @TheYallSquad & we are gearing up to help the folks in Texas. Once again making a call out to any local officials: PLEASE reach out to let us know what you need, we can send trucks & people immediately. [email protected]
Images of Russian brutality emerging from Kyiv and Odesa, where at least 15 people were killed and more than 130 injured in a relentless, all-night missile and drone attack. The latest attack came hours after Trump said Russia should be allowed back in the G8 and that he would not impose new sanctions on Moscow, despite pressure from G7 allies and members of the US Congress, including many Republicans. Trump has said he Putin may be “tapping him along.” In fact, Putin’s army has escalated its war against Ukraine and shown no signs of wanting to negotiate an end to it.

I know it's beside the point but only a British person could ever describe experiencing a ballistic missile strike as being "incredibly unpleasant" https://t.co/XsrbcIO1mw
Fort Barfoot is being renamed back to its original name, Fort Pickett.
Van T. Barfoot received the Medal of Honor for single-handedly traversing a minefield to destroy three German machine gun nests, a tank, and an artillery emplacement to save his men.
He later served in Korea and flew helicopters in Vietnam.
At 90 years old, he fought his Homeowners Association for the right to fly the American flag in his own front yard—and won. His case helped inspire Virginia state law protecting that right from HOA interference.
Meanwhile, General George Pickett led the infamous “Pickett’s Charge” at Gettysburg.
It failed catastrophically, resulting in over 50% casualties to his division and marking the turning point of both the battle and the Civil War.
After the war, Pickett was implicated in the execution of Union POWs, a war crime so serious he fled to Canada to avoid prosecution.

Please consider leaving it as Fort Barfoot.
He earned it.
