Hug it Out


Posted by Bruno on January 11th, 2008

Man hugs are finally in vogue in the Pentagon.

The military finally decides that if you can’t beat them, join them: [Lieutenant Colonel C.J.] Wallington, a division chief in the Army’s office of enterprise information systems, says the military is quietly working to integrate Macintosh computers into its systems to make them harder to hack. That’s because fewer attacks have been designed to infiltrate [...]

Air Force and Energy


Posted by Bruno on November 2nd, 2007

Robert Farley argues pretty effectively that the Air Force has outlived its usefulness and ought to be dissolved back into the other branches. Longtime readers will know that we’re pretty skeptical of the Air Force’s role in 21st-century warfare. Nonetheless, it bears mentioning that the Air Force is on the leading edge of alternative energy [...]

Good Gravy! We Haven’t Even Beaten Iran Yet!


Posted by Matski on September 27th, 2007

Talk about ambition! Here we are, the military’s plans to beat Iran fresh off the planning table, and the Secretary of the US Airforce is already planning for the war with China. [Secretary of the Air Force] Wynne directly linked the need for the F-35 to the potential threat posed by China. He rejected a [...]

Introducing… the Adventures of the F-22!


Posted by Bruno on June 17th, 2007

First, there were the Adventures of the Seawolf, the attack submarine that gallantly defended Grand Central Station and Downtown Terre Haute from terrorists. Now, scared shitless that Congress is going to come to its senses and realize that the Air Force budget need to go on a huge diet, the bureaucrats at the USAF have [...]

Well, looks like our friend Seawolf has some competition in the workplace.* Officers and sailors, man our ship and bring it to life,” ordered Margaret Nedzi. Dozens of sailors, white uniforms reflecting in the sun, trotted onto the USS Michigan’s stark black deck Tuesday and stood at attention. The 560-foot submarine’s deafening horn sounded. Its [...]

“I Spit in Your General Direction!”


Posted by Matski on May 23rd, 2007

Sorry, but the U.S. Navy’s show of force off the Iranian coast strikes me as the geopolitical equivalent of “nyah nyah-nyah nyah nyah.” [Title reference, of course, is Monty Python's Holy Grail.]

Cost Plus Sinks Ships


Posted by Matski on April 17th, 2007

The Navy (finally) grows a pair and reins in the troubled Littoral Combat Ship program. From Jane’s: THE US Navy’s (USN’s) troubled Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) programme has suffered another blow, with the navy’s cancellation of Lockheed Martin’s second vessel, known as LCS 3. According to a USN statement, the move is the result of [...]

Bombers (Not Going) Away


Posted by Bruno on April 3rd, 2007

Gregg Easterbrook writes in Slate about how trusty old B-52 bombers have gotten really good at dropping precision bombs. Or rather, newer, more accurate bombs mean that we don’t have to fly in low with risky, expensive fighter gets to get the drop on the bad guys: Bombers dropping JDAMs did the heavy lifting of [...]

HIllary Clinton and the Military


Posted by Bruno on March 27th, 2007

Democrats make a lot of mistakes when talking about the military, as this article in the NYT makes clear. Sen. Clinton, like so many other silly Democrats, thinks that the way to win support from the military is to do nice thigns for the troops, like fund body armor and veterans hospitals: In the Senate, [...]
