It looks like this is the tip of the Iceberg – and this is what happens when DEI takes over counterintelligence.
Counterintelligence is a vital but weird career field. I always say that “Jesus James Angleton was wrong. There wasn’t a spy inside the CIA. There were actually four”. Those four were Aldrich Ames, Larry Wu-tai Chin, Robert Hanssen, and Ana Montes. The last two were FBI and DIA, but were inside the intelligence community and part of the problem.

Could the Chinese Communist Party “page” U.S. servicemembers, the way the Mossad did to Hizballah on Sept. 17, 2024, in one of the most daring deception operations in living memory? It is possible. The Department of Defense does not fully understand the breadth and depth of its supply chain.

If you’re heading OCONUS, it might feel like you’re teetering on going broke. That’s because PCS limbo is where budgets go to die. One minute, you think you’ve planned everything perfectly. The next, you’re panic-booking an overpriced hotel because your incoming base hotel doesn’t have rooms available, swiping your card for clothes you already own but can’t access, and realizing too late that your pet’s quarantine fees just ate your emergency fund. It happens fast.
