Do you really have this much hate and contempt for every person doing their job in NDHQ? You don't know them, you don't know the choices they have nor the decisions they are making, but you need to deride them on a hypothetical to make your point?

“One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army.” Sounds like he wants someone who will discard professionalism in favour of virtue signalling … only, the virtues are now defined by MAGA populism. Macho, partisan...

They have been spinning the narrative for a few days now that the regime has been changed.

Will be interesting to see of Iran corroborates claim that they are ready for a cease fire.

If the US cannot win the war that it started, then perhaps the best global outcome would be a classic blue beret peacekeeping type mission with an unprecedented maritime component. But finding contributing nations that would be acceptable to all sides might be a challenge. Which would be...

Our best outcome is if point 4 is prevented without more nations being drawn into the war.

This is a possible but undesirable future. All western democracies will be weakened in the event of this outcome regardless of having not had a voice in the decision to launch the war.

A token land force to seize a token objective that is isolated from mainland is not a decisive moment. Even with that, we have one member of the administration promising more of the same but harder while the president appears to be laying groundwork for a TACO. The TACO would be the worst...

There will be a decisive outcome in the next few days. … but I don’t believe the US is ready to do anything that will lead to a decisive outcome.

On Saturday: “we work to get back the rights we have under the constitution.” Today it is: we need to change the constitution to create the right we are working to “get back”...

We do have a neighbour who has recently threatened our sovereignty and been a little reckless in wielding military power.

Wonder what this will be about? … and has it started?

There were a few examples of platoons & sections receiving allied ammo in Kandahar. If nobody follows STANAGs or if we need an ammo performance that is not achieved by NATO standard, then sharing is no longer an option. We claimed to have learned this was important when NATO guns started...

Does the NATO ammo standardization not include details on peak pressure, all-burnt point, and combustion temperature? Will we have a rifle that cannot accept NATO 5.56 because it needs bespoke Canadian 5.56?

This is an unexpected move. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/29/americas/us-russian-oil-tanker-access-cuba-intl-hnk

Wasn't right then either.

Attacking commercial shipping might seem to fit that description.

Where these protests don’t run more than a day at a time, I am not sure they will convince Republican & government establishment that the public really demands change. They are drawing some big names to the events though...

Four divisions without Corps Troops is not a serious mobilization plan.

I have seen some speculation that Houthis may attempt to contain (and be seen attempting to contain) their escalation to just Israel in hopes that US and Saudi Arabia leave them alone for it. Watch to see if they engage commercial shipping or leave that alone as an indicator on this.
