‘JANE FONDA DAY:’ JUST DESSERTS OR JUST A DEBACLE?

On April 30, 1975, Saigon fell, bringing an end to the Vietnam War — a brutal conflict that saw the deaths of tens of thousands of American service members and millions of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians.

On April 30, 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors honored actor and activist Jane Fonda with a proclamation declaring that date “Jane Fonda Day” across Los Angeles County.

The decision prompted two Republican California lawmakers — Sen. Janet Nguyen, R-Huntington Beach, and Assemblyman Tri Ta, R-Westminster, to release statements condemning the board for what they said was its tone deaf decision to honor Fonda on the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.

Just from looking at the picture, it doesn't look like something that it would be terribly effective except on open ground.

Rifle-Armed Robot Dogs Now Being Tested By Marine Special Operators

The United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) looks to be the first organization within the U.S. military to be using rifle-wielding "robot dogs." Other armed robotic K-9s have been explored by the U.S. military and shown off by foreign countries, in the recent past.


Eric Shell, head of business development at Onyx Industries which supplied the gun system for the dogs, confirmed to TWZ on the floor of SOF Week that they are in use with MARSOC. Shell noted that MARSOC has two robot dogs fitted with gun systems based on Onyx's SENTRY remote weapon system (RWS) — one in 7.62x39mm caliber, and another in 6.5mm Creedmoor caliber. It's unclear precisely how many other robotic dogs MARSOC may have at present, however, it appears likely that the two equipped with SENTRY are being tested by the command.

Video footage released by Onyx Industries showing one of MARSOC's robot dogs can be seen here.
 
According to Shell, MARSOC's four-legged friends are "doing tunnel work, as well as perimeter security," but he could not specify where precisely.

The underlying robot dog doing this tunnel work for MARSOC is Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle, or Q-UGV, Shell said.

I'm not certain a "crash program" for jets is the best wording.
