The Marines were just over a hundred miles away from the southern tip of Taiwan when they seized the airstrip. They were operating in Northern Luzon and the Batanes Islands, Philippine territory north of the mainland -- key terrain for a potential conflict with China.

The mission, known as maritime key terrain security operations, or MKTSO, was practice for that conflict, but had real-world implications. It was a show of force headed by elements of the Marine Corps' newest Pacific-oriented unit: the Marine littoral regiment, or MLR.
 
On April 30, three combined littoral reconnaissance teams made up of roughly 30 U.S. and Philippine Marines each, flown by Army Chinooks and Black Hawk helicopters, departed a naval base off the northern coast of the mainland to insert into the remote islands.

I have a feeling this is what will happen....but who takes the nomination?

The second idiot in-command?

Too chicken sh*t to take a stand in an election year which is exactly the kind of politicians this country doesn't need.

Their refusal to vote should then be assumed that they supported keeping migrants who attack cops in the country

An Army non-commissioned officer with a significant following on TikTok recently found himself at the center of controversy following the loss of a leadership position— igniting a heated online debate that underscores the tensions regarding military grooming standards, the impact of social media expression, and perceived biases within the US Armed Forces.

Master Sergeant Darhem Parker, who had been elevated to the rank of first sergeant within the Hawaii-based Alpha Company, 29th Brigade Engineer Battalion, shared his excitement in a TikTok video on April 30.

In the video, he showcased his command photo, pointing to his beard and distinctive haircut.

“Somebody in real life is going to see that picture on their wall and be pissed off,” he commented.

Here I thought only white conservatives were capable of terrorism in the military.
