Stolen from Jack McCain.

All I remember is Rachel Leigh Cook also being there

JFC! Thank God he’s working PME reform!

Jason Biggs visited us at FOB Warhorse in 2010.

It’s new urgency in the same way I used to play peekaboo with my daughter, I’d disappear and then appear anew, but she’s 4 now and she’s over it.

In that, she’s more of a strategist than anyone at DoD.

Amen. This room has crown molding that is going to require quite a bit of caulking and sanding. Same with the trim along the staircase.

Good news: Paint going up in the last room I haven’t touched since buying this place 8+ yrs ago. Light gray to sage.
Bad news: When I’m finished, trim and doors await.

If the president wants us to “take a little bit of sacrifice” then he should explain his rationale for going to war in a way that makes sense.

It really is. Was looking through it for something I wrote for WOTR. Will share when it comes out next week.

He’s basically a political appointee

🙏

Partisan actor attacking others to defend his SES boss w/out disclosing the affiliation and w/out being held accountable

A decade ago one of my Scout platoons secured this site at MSAB.

A political appointee disguised as an army officer.

It’s less accurate than the method you describe but Polar running index gets you in the ballpark, especially the more you use it. Polar also has a specific fitness test to get more accurate gauge

I’m using a 5K training program on my polar watch / HR monitor and cleaned up the junk food w/out being overly restrictive

Yeah, recognition that I was telling myself a bunch of lies and was going to eventually cost me and my family. I have a disabled son. Every day I stay upright is one he won’t spend in a group home.

13 months ago I was in the worst shape of my life. Well on my way to being one of those retirement cautionary tales of dudes who cost themselves years of quality time. Today I threw down a very respectable VO2 max (for a 53 y/o) during an easy run.

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL. kristi noem is doing a live speech right now and doesn't know she was fired. 🚨

lmfao. He and Cynical Publius has an exchange the other day. Josiah even said his life would be better today if the US would’ve stayed out of the Spanish-American War and WWI.

I HAVE NO WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know Haswah and Jurf well. Think I was one of first Americans to enter Jurf in Sep 2003. Well before it was ethnically cleansed and became a KH stronghold. Who were you with?

Was at the power plant but visited Kalsu in its early days

My former company AO in Iskandariyah. Flew over it going from Amman to BIAP in 2018, looked down and immediately knew where I was even though it had been 15 years.

We can do better. Several of them are officially part of the Iraqi Security Forces and thus indirectly receive support from us.

💯

This will not cause any issues for Iraq whatsoever, right? RIGHT?
