Military.com is pearl-clutching that there are allegations (not proof, just allegations) that 183 service folks can be called extremist or supporting extremism.<\/p>\n

The statistics indicate the military continues to grapple with extremism following its public denunciations and a stand-down across the services ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in 2021. Furthermore, the numbers do not make it clear whether the military’s approach is working. In 2021, the year the data was first released to Congress, there were 270 allegations of extremist activities. In 2022, that figure dropped to 146 before rebounding over the past year.\u00a0 Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While one is theoretically too many, when you have almost 2.2 million folks in all the service branches (and that includes the Space Force’s 1600+) , that’s .0086%.\u00a0 Or, in simple form, less than 5 inches in a mile. Sounds like a normal distribution on that big bell curve of life, and a damn sight less than the percentage in Congress. Oh. and one other thing:<\/p>\n

However, the report did note that, out of all the suspected extremism and criminal gang activity, 68 of the total cases were investigated and cleared or deemed unsubstantiated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, the bodies of the remaining crew of the Osprey lost off Japan have been located.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring a combined U.S.-Japanese search and rescue dive in the vicinity of Yakushima, Japan on Dec. 4, 2023, remains were discovered along with wreckage from the CV-22 mishap that occurred on Nov. 29, 2023,\u201d a statement from AFSOC said.\u00a0 CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As has been noted many times, preparing for war is dangerous, too. Blessings on their departed souls.<\/p>\n

Venezuela had an election this week to determine if the voters want to steal<\/del> annex an extremely oil-rich part of Guyana<\/p>\n

The vote centered around a vast territory known as Essequibo, which Venezuelans have long argued was stolen from them when the border with present-day Guyana was drawn more than a century ago.<\/p>\n

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council on Monday reported participation in the referendum of about 10.5 million voters, which would have been just over half of the 20.6 million eligible people. But those figures defied what people witnessed at voting centers, where long lines typical of Venezuelan elections never formed.\u00a0 ABC News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The UN’s International Court of Justice has ruled that Venezuala can’t take any action until competing claims are settled. Venezuala, no doubt in fear of receiving a Sternly Worded Note, should stand down. Uh-hunh. Right.<\/p>\n
