The Norks continue to try and twist the tail of the lion…provoking an attack by provoking an attack so they can try to sucker-punch the South with nukes. Remember the fat playground bully who tried to terrorize kids by provoking them to fight, then when the first punch was thrown ran crying to a teacher to get the other kid in trouble? Me too. We can add to their list of missiles from small to purported ICBM (more properly classified as IRBMs) scrambling up to 180 fighters to orbit and make the ROKs nervous.<\/p>\n

South Korea scrambled dozens of military aircraft, including advanced F-35 fighter jets, after tracking about 180 flights by North Korean warplanes inside North Korean territory in what appeared to be a defiant show of strength.\u00a0North Korea<\/a><\/span>‘s aerial exercises came after the it test-fired around 30 ballistic missiles over the two previous days<\/a><\/span>, including an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday that triggered evacuation warnings in Japan, in an angry response to U.S.-South Korea joint air force drills involving hundreds of their warplanes.CBS News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Saturday update – Just to make Kim and the lads feel better, the US flew a coupla B1Bs around the ROK yesterday. Think either of those Bones can carry the equivalent of more than the entire Nork arsenal in payload. The games continue.<\/p>\n

Army Recruiting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A bit back we talked about an issue where up to 1900 many folks who had received headhunter bonuses (G-RAP) for recruiting wound up in the FBI’s NCIC database whether investigated, tried, convicted, or not – costing some their jobs and careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect to have the majority of these investigations reviewed and corrected by the end of 2022, though a few may extend into early 2023,\u201d Gregory Ford, director of CID said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ford noted that for those who were negatively impacted by the sweeping investigation, any sort of compensation or relief will likely be determined on an individual basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Army has repeatedly denied these same facts over the last decade,\u201d O\u2019Connell told Army Times. \u201cThe admissions today are the result of negative media coverage and a desire to resurrect the G-RAP program to compensate for failing recruiting numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

End of this year…sort of like the Navy sorting out their DD-214 issue by September. Me, I’m not holding my breath for the poor sods who innocently participated and got screwed by the NCIC listings.<\/p>\n

For what should be a piece of GOOD news for a change, vet homelessness dropped 11% since 2020…but the stats are from the same government which cheered a large Social Security COLA triggered by the same inflation they largely caused. They say only 33,000 vets are chronically homeless now…my math is a tad weak but that tells me the number has been reduced by what, 1000 per calendar year? Wonder what all those programs cost during that time – might have been better just to cut the deserving vets a check for, oh, say $100K each.\u00a0\u00a0 (No, the selection of that particular pic is not accidental – he’s the “good samaritan homeless vet” who helped scam a lot of compassionate folks a while back.)<\/p>\n

And it has been confirmed that David DePape, Mr. Pelosi’s assailant, is indeed illegal and facing deportation. No word on any Irish ancestry.<\/p>\n

The White House is said to have killed the nomination of LGEN Walter Piatt for promotion since they believe he was “too slow” to respond to a plea for National Guard troops on January 6. (Posse Comitatus, anyone?)<\/p>\n

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth and Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville supported the nomination of Piatt, the Post reported.<\/p>\n

LGEN Piatt was essentially forced into retirement despite the support of the normal Perfumed Prince cabal listed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
