Well, No Surprise Here.

In fact, it is kinda expected. 

The U.S. Army raised eyebrows Tuesday after it touted the restoration of a memorial to a Nazi-era German tank regiment, without once mentioning World War II. In a report published Monday, U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart — the Army command that runs U.S. military bases in and around Stuttgart, Germany — praised a local Scouting America project that restored the 8th Panzer Regiment Memorial on Panzer Kaserne — a U.S. military installation — in Böblingen, Germany. The report’s author, U.S. Army Public Affairs Specialist Balmina Sehra, called the weathered monument “a piece of local history” and framed the restoration as a symbol of German-American friendship. As flagged by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, however, Sehra left out a critical detail regarding the memorial. “Uh, why is the U.S. Army celebrating the restoration of a memorial to a panzer regiment from Hitler’s Wehrmacht??” Klippenstein asked in a social media post on X to his more than 560,000 followers. “Army says the ceremony ‘recognizes the soldiers of 8th Panzer Regiment in anticipation of Veteran’s Day.’ That regiment fought Americans at Kasserine Pass in 1943. But the Army’s announcement makes no mention of World War II!”

The next step should be touting restoration of the monuments to SS formations and Gestapo operatives, how about in Langley? Hey, why not--a symbol of "German-American friendship". As per mentioning WW II, US Army and its personnel do not know about WW II beyond movie Patton and ramblings of idiots like Sarah Paine. But then again, US Army views on warfare and history have been shaped by Wehrmacht generals on salaries in the US Army History Departments. So, no surprise here. 

Jack Keane Is ...

 ... an exemplary American general. 

Meanwhile. 

Kiev now. 

A Pole Visited ...

 ... social media of 404 and Russia after the tragedy in Krakow. First, he went to 404 media (Telegram)--joy, laughter and applauding the massacre--these are Poland's "allies" and brothers. Then (to the right) he went to Russian media--you know, Poland's enemies and haters--and was startled, majority of Russians grieve. Well, Poles made their choice. Too late now. These are your friends, Poles. Enjoy. 

Rubio Stating Obvious.

And as I already developed a blister on my tongue--it is between Russia and the US. 404 is over. 

For those who still don't get it, I repeat--everything is decided on the battlefield of SMO. The West is defeated. The US is too big to fail, so Russia merely observes as it humiliates itself on its own. Europe will be poor and irrelevant. 

Well, Hegseth Is Not Just ...

 ... incompetent, he is a war criminal. It means also that people of honor, refusing to attack children are not there in the top either. And yes, it was not any Palantir BS, it was a deliberate criminal human act against children by the US military. Sorry, US has no military, Israel has. 

It is to the greatest credit to people like Massie and his like who raised their voices from the highest podiums. They are what remains of the Republic which is not there anymore. 

Another Glorious ...

 ... defeat. Turn on FOX News, they'll tell ya all the truth, right? 

Hegseth Wouldn't Understand ...

 ... what he is trying to accomplish, neither will Pentagon, because they themselves are products of what today can be confidently asserted as a subpar US military education. Yet, platitudes and grandiose plans persist. 

Pete Hegseth has ordered a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. military's professional education system, directing Pentagon leaders to prioritize combat readiness and warfighting skills, as the embattled defense secretary faces mounting calls for impeachment over the Trump administration's handling of the Iran war. In a memorandum dated November 9, Hegseth ordered immediate reforms across the military's Senior Service Colleges and Intermediate Level Education institutions, arguing that military education had strayed too far from its central purpose of preparing officers to fight and win wars. The announcement comes as Republican Representative Thomas Massie prepares to push forward articles of impeachment against Hegseth, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly backing the effort and declaring that the defense secretary "has got to go."

US cannot handle anything the scale of Iran any other way--it is not designed for that. Something like SMO altogether is beyond US military's grasp. Remarkably, Hegseth has his commission through ROTC while his "degree" in is Politics, whatever that BS means. He was in Afghanistan and judging by the US military "performance" there is utterly unqualified to pass judgement on what is required "to fight and win wars". Explaining to him what it means to conduct operations (as in formations designed for conducting independent operations--starting point is division) and what it means to conduct it with obsolete TOE of the US Army is impossible--too much math, physics, theory of operational research, systems integration and technology beyond YouTube videos, in other words--everything Hegseth doesn't understand and has no knowledge of.  

Considering the fact that it is a fine US military tradition to learn from losers, ranging from Wehrmacht to, now, VSU, rest assured--the next fairy tale about how "to fight and win wars" from the US military is coming. Arrogance is not a bug but a feature of the US military precisely because what is "taught" in the US military academies and war colleges is not real military science. But I repeat myself, the army which venerates Patton as a great general or has such ignorant people like Sarah Paine "teach" strategery in the US Naval War College wouldn't be able to learn. US military is and will continue to be fed "statistics" from VSU and as the result will end up with GIGO--Garbage In, Garbage Out, again. Data sets of SMO are beyond US military's grasp, but even if it were--it is very difficult to accept the fact that you are not even in the same league and what's left is chest thumping and spewing propaganda. 

Here is an example, from the guy who killed 200,000 of VSU personnel in 2023 and couldn't cope because was laughed at, together with Wiesbaden group, in Russian military. 

For example, Donahue noted, Kaliningrad, Russia, is roughly 47 miles wide and surrounded by NATO on all sides and the Army and its allies now have the capability to “take that down from the ground in a timeframe that is unheard of and faster than we’ve ever been able to do.” “We’ve already planned that and we’ve already developed it. The mass and momentum problem that Russia poses to us … we’ve developed the capability to make sure that we can stop that mass and momentum problem,” Donahue said. The plan includes a system to share data. NATO has already procured that system, Donahue said, referencing its choice of Palantir’s Maven Smart System, an artificial intelligence platform from Palantir that takes a vast amount of data and rapidly analyzes information to help military commanders make decisions.

There you go. Donahue learned absolutely nothing from his debacles. And no, NATO has no capability to do anything about Kaliningrad because it will physically cease to exist if it tries. As per "If Russia attacks", so far cowards from NATO are hiding behind backs of dwindling 404 cannon fodder. The only time the US military decided to go for the open fight with Iran it got its ass handed to it. Everything you need to know, especially when it comes to COFM of which Hegseth likely never heard before in proper settings.
