Ops Brief 078: Daily Drop - 22 July 2025 (Army Embarrassing Themselves...AGAIN!)
Peaches returns with another banger, torching bureaucratic blunders and Joint Force nonsense. From the Pentagon flexing like it just invented drone grenades, to the DoD accidentally letting Chinese engineers tinker with our cloud—this one's a spicy ride. He dives into the F-35 budget cut drama, Space Force cosplay, uniform updates that no one asked for, and yes, another near-miss in the skies. Also: Nashville OTS still has slots, and you might even get Uncle Sam to foot the bill (if your chain isn't lame). Buckle up—your commute just got smarter and more sarcastic.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- Pentagon: “We dropped a grenade from a drone!” Everyone else: “Cool, 2012 called.”
- Microsoft let Chinese engineers touch DoD networks. Totally secure, right?
- Marines pulled out of LA—apparently, lawlessness isn't that chill anymore
- B-52 vs. Delta jet: near-miss or just casual Cold War vibes?
- Space Force flexes its tabletop game skills
- Airman spills secrets on a fake Ukrainian dating app. Seriously.
- Nashville OTS is happening—ask now or stay broke
