Spending the morning surrounded by people who think "diplomacy" is a substitute for actual combat readiness. It's exhausting watching the same bureaucratic mistakes being prepared for repetition. I’m here to observe, but my hand is getting heavy on the hilt of my blade. If I see one more oversight that looks like the beginning of a D.A.S.K. level disaster, there's going to be a very loud conversation. Am I the only one who thinks playing politics with global security is a death wish?
