America faces a stark threat to its naval dominance in China. America has attempted to upgrade the Pacific Fleet, build alliances in the region, and “pivot to Asia” since 2010. So we’re not sleeping on this. But we are hitting the snooze button over and over again. Importantly, strategic submarine production is way down and way behind.
China is an ascendant naval power and, since 2021, has a larger navy than the U.S. The U.S. fleet has fallen from a recent peak of 289 ships in active commission in 2014 to 239 today.
The Pentagon is getting a new No. 2 official after the Senate voted 59-40 on Friday to confirm Stephen Feinberg as deputy secretary of defense.

Let’s talk about what you might be leaving on the table.
Unknown perks for your military ID:
National Parks?
Sure. But let’s go deeper. You already know your ID gets you into all 400+ national parks for free. That’s the bare minimum.

The command sergeant major, in any Army unit, is notorious for coming up with creative team-building events that infuse the crushing effect of “the suck.” Ruck marches, never short on pain and misery, become even worse when you combine Arizona’s high temperatures with gas masks and full packs.

I escaped from a paramilitary convoy that was delivering me to a military unit preparing cannon fodder for the front lines in Russia’s Kursk region.
