Oops. Wrong Hotel Room. Apparently Boston-area FBI agents were taking part in a military exercise in downtown Boston on Tuesday night, April 4th. They were directed to apprehend and question a suspect in a hotel room. The suspect was woken from his sleep, handcuffed, placed in the room’s shower, and interrogated for 45 minutes before FBI agents realized he was not part of an exercise . . . just a Delta Airlines pilot getting some sleep. “Defense Department detains guest in hotel training mix-up”, Air Force Time, April 5, 2023. See also an article by The Drive entitled “Botched FBI, Army Special Ops Training Raid Captures Unsuspecting Hotel Guest”, April 6, 2023.

“The training was meant to enhance soldier’s skills to operate in realistic and unfamiliar environments. The training team, unfortunately, entered the wrong room and detained an individual unaffiliated with the exercise.”

Lt. Col. Mike Burns, Army Special Operations Command

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

RIP – Billy Waugh. A Green Beret legend has passed away.

I am not sure "legend" is a strong-enough word.

Remember the first Calvary attack on the Taliban in Shitstainistan? That's Billy,out front leadring the charge on that white stallion. He was probably in his early 70's at the time,and working as a "contract agent" for the CIA.

 Think about this for a moment. Charging into dug-in machine gun positions in the open while riding a horse.
