— zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 26, 2026 Gonna be on the sidelines for another fight (I disagree with any action there but if it's to be then the Marines should be there). At best a token force. Maybe the wing gets to transport Soldiers. Perhaps the Navy will use an amphib for the 82nd or 101st. The only thing in doubt is if the Marines will be there. I doubt it. Another Army show.

NOW: Several large explosions have been heard in Sirik, southern Iran, and in the Strait of Hormuz.

Local sources are reporting “a serious naval conflict” tonight, with at least one vessel being confirmed hit.
IRGC-N speedboats are also operating.

Why the title? Because many air forces are moving toward unmanned vehicles to cover this market place but MANY countries can't afford them. Additionally original or upgraded gen 4 fighter programs continue simply to cover the affordability gap. This is the way.

This is not gonna work out well. Lessons from the Ukraine/Russia war should be taken with a bit of caution. Many aspects of that fight are unique to that fight.

The most famous is Sgt Maj Kasal being helped out the kill house. How he wasn't selected to be SMMC is beyond me but I guess he wasn't political enough or something else I can't begin to imagine.

I'm kinda minor league pissed that God didn't give us some rings. I guess HE KNEW that we would need to have comm sats up and that's why he didn't give us any.
