I haven't watched the video but have read the transcript. It comes off as braggadocios and chest beating for sure but it also sends a message. I have always lived by the motto, "It isn't cocky if you can back it up."
Trump attacks Iran (was "Help is on the way")

It’s a repetitive annoyance for me too.
Not just here or only here but Reddit and other places.
I can only speak for myself but I feel like I’m willing adjust my views and call a spade a spade independent from party allegiances.
I’m sure I’m not perfect in that area but I try to be open minded.
There are tribalists everywhere and on both sides of the aisle. The tribe in power is always the most obvious but it doesn't take much of a memory to recall when the roles were reversed and everything was just fine.
There’s truth to that for sure.
For example a large criticism of Trump is that he’s no longer mentally and/or physically capable of performing his current duties (if he ever was - debatable point).
But also Biden reached a point of no longer being mentally and/or physically fit to serve that was a criticism that the Left would not acknowledge until it was pretty much too late.
Each side can be tribal to the point of having blinders on and singing contradicting lyrics.
You definitely wouldn't have enjoyed the speeches and quotes from Bull Halsey, Patton and MacArthur. Not saying he's on their level, but those dudes weren't afraid to throw shade and let everyone know they were going to do business. Here are a few of my favorites.
Admiral Bull Halsey:
"Before we're through with them, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell."
"This won’t be another Bataan. We’re going to win, and you and I will both see Yamamoto in hell!"
Patton:
"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory."
"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory."
"Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, how I love it!"
"No one ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb guy die for his country." (I had to edit this one for language. I wasn't sure the mods wold approve even though it is a direct historical quote)
MacArthur:
"I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight."
"People of the Philippines: I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil—soil consecrated in the blood of our two peoples."
These are the dudes we sent to fight and beat two empires that wanted to conquer the world. When the Battle of the Bulge took place it was Patton that was sent to save the day. Halsey and MacArthur were the two commanders that led the way to take out the Japanese Empirei n the field. Great military leaders have always been a rare breed and very proud outspoken men. It was Sherman that said, "War is hell" and "Make Georgia howl." Hegseth isn't like those guys in quality, but it's refreshing to hear someone talk like them.
game changer? I report, you decide

at least biden wasn’t surrounded by a bunch of incompetent and immoral sycophants and supported by a cult
"
The HELIOS system draws power directly from the destroyer’s onboard generator.
This means:
- No missiles are required
- No ammunition magazines are depleted
- No supply ships are needed to replenish interceptors
Thank God Alabama Power doesn't have business in the Middle East.
the admin had plenty of issues, but no matter how much you want to twist yourself in both sides are tribalists knots, things were much better under biden than the are now
So that’s it’s not one huge wall of text I suppose.
I’ve never overly put thought into that.
I’m only putting one break between individual points of thought.
Why?
Been following this technology some. I love naval history and warships. It's fascinating. This technology will cut down on the overall cost to intercept missiles and drones. Glad to see it's coming along. The system costs a couple of bucks to fire vs millions for the traditional interceptors. Game changing stuff.
I went searching for this , i felt energy weapons, lasers would be excellent defense against drones. Low and behold, here we are.
we even got some practice shooting down party balloons in el paso, so we should be good to go
CBP shot down party balloons with anti-drone tech before FAA closed El Paso airspace, sources say
The airspace was suddenly closed after CBP officials didn't coordinate with FAA officials, four people familiar with the matter said.
