John Seir, of the British Royal Navy, and Richard Bar, a US Air Force Security Guard, both say they remained silent for decades out of fear, secrecy, and uncertainty.
The content, as revealed on Cristina Gomez’s podcast UFO News, was explored with nuance as Gomez sought clarity amid an enigmatic situation.

Doug Collins is not serving the best interests of Veterans - he's a trump acolyte...
Democratic lawmakers assailed Doug Collins, the Veterans Affairs (VA) secretary for repeating Trump administration’s claims on the killing of Alex Pretti, a VA nurse shot 10 times by federal immigration officials in Minneapolis, during a congressional hearing Wednesday.
Are you going to “correct your cabinet colleagues when they called him a terrorist?” Mark Takano, a Democratic representative of California and the House Committee on Veterans Affairs’ ranking member, asked Collins. The secretary declined to answer.

Top enlisted leaders from each service told lawmakers Wednesday that they support women serving in any role in the military, including combat arms, if they meet the established standards.
Enlisted leaders from the five services, as well as the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that they have yet to see any indication that women serving in combat units have caused standards to lower.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military on Thursday reported two major incidents that occurred in recent days tied to the massive buildup of forces in the Caribbean Sea — a Marine who died after falling overboard and a collision between two Navy ships that left two sailors with minor injuries.
-
Two people reported minor injuries Wednesday when a U.S. warship and a Navy supply vessel assigned to the military buildup in the Caribbean collided during a ship-to-ship refueling, according to a military spokesman.
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Truxtun and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply collided during a replenishment-at-sea, according to U.S. Southern Command spokesman Col. Emmanuel Ortiz. Two people reported minor injuries and are in stable condition, and both ships have reported that they are able to continue sailing safely, Ortiz said.

Shame on those lawmakers who originally said that Sen. Kelly made a bad choice (in exercising his right to free speech.)...
The defendants in this case are the secretary of WAAH (Hedgehog,) the department of WAAH (D'OH!,) the Department of Navy & Navy Secretary John Phelan.
A federal judge on Thursday barred Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from censuring Sen. Mark Kelly over the Arizona Democrat’s participation in a video reminding American military service members of their right to refuse illegal orders.
Judge Rich Leon’s order in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., also blocks Hegseth, for now, from reducing Kelly’s U.S. Navy rank and retirement pay as punishment for his role in the video.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The sudden and surprising airspace closure over El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday — first announced as extending for 10 days but lasting only a few hours — stemmed from the Pentagon's plans to test a laser to shoot down drones used by Mexican drug cartels, according to three people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity to share sensitive details.
That caused friction with the Federal Aviation Administration, which wanted to ensure commercial air safety, and the two agencies sought to coordinate, according to two of the people.

The Trump administration announced it had taken down a Mexican cartel drone flying into US airspace - only to confirm hours later that the object was nothing more than a party balloon.
The chaos began when anti-drone technology was deployed near the southern border to target what officials initially believed were foreign drones.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Are you enrolled in a TRICARE Prime plan? If you see a primary care manager at a military hospital or clinic, you may now have a new way to get urgent care. The Defense Health Agency has expanded its virtual urgent care options in the U.S. This allows TRICARE Prime enrollees ages 12 and older to schedule virtual urgent care through the Military Health System Nurse Advice Line.

The withdrawal quietly concluded last month, with no public acknowledgment from the White House or Department of Defense despite the administration’s insistence that U.S. military assets needed to be deployed on American streets to curb violent crime and support immigration enforcement.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration tried and failed Tuesday to indict Democratic lawmakers over a video urging members of the military and intelligence communities not to comply with unlawful orders, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Go Nancy!...
Nancy Lacore, a former Navy vice admiral who was removed from her post by Secretary of WAAH Pete Hedgehog, is challenging statewide fixture Rep. Nancy Mace in South Carolina's 1st District congressional race later this year.

But VA workers and some lawmakers remain skeptical, pointing to ongoing staffing shortages across the system that were a problem even before the VA got rid of tens of thousands of workers last year.
A report released ahead of the hearing by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the committee's top Democrat, said the VA lost about 40,000 workers over the past year, many through the so-called DOGE cuts. The report said nearly 90 percent of those departures were health care staff.

Thank you for your divisiveness trump...

While Robinson described his naval career as rewarding, he also recalled moments that tested his training and instincts. During one dive, Robinson said he heard reports of flooding shortly after the submarine submerged.
He said water quickly moved through multiple levels of the submarine, prompting an emergency response by the crew.

Earlier this week our commander announced that only Christmas decorations were allowed in the headquarters facility where I work and under his command. He made it clear that the recognition of any other type of celebration would be unacceptable “wokeness” which would not be tolerated under his command. He often speaks his views that DEI is a cancer. He says it is destroying our country and our military. The next day there were four nativity scene displays erected in our headquarters complex.
He says he has an “open door policy”. So I made an appointment to come see him and asked about whether we could also have Hanukkah displays up. He seemed upset and said that since “it is well known that Hanukkah is the Jewish Christmas” Jewish personnel should be satisfied when they see a Christmas display that it also includes Hanukkah. Obviously that statement is just FUBAR!

(MRFF representative’s name and rank withheld) connected us with Mr. Weinstein almost immediately after this happened. I won’t go into all of the specifics here as to how Mr. Weinstein contacted our chain of command to fix this. But two days later our commander addressed the matter at another (military unit nomenclature withheld) meeting and apologized for what our military unit supervisor had said about asking who had been “saved.”

MRFF typically represents service members who believe their rights are impacted by religious favoritism or political messaging within the military.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is dedicated to ensuring that all members of the United States Armed Forces fully receive the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom to which they and all Americans are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Nearly 100,000 active duty, reserve, National Guard, cadets and midshipmen, DoD and VA civilian personnel, veterans, clients among the 18 national security agencies, DHS (Coast Guard), and DOT (U.S. Maritime Service), ROTC, including individuals involved in High School JROTC around the nation, have come to our foundation for redress and assistance in resolving or alerting the public to their civil rights grievances, with hundreds more contacting MRFF each day. 95% of them are Christians themselves.

And yet another article on the Department of WAAH trampling on active-duty member's rights...
No Pentagon investigation has been publicly announced regarding MRFF’s claims. The key question now is whether commanders used unit expectations, scheduling, or implied consequences in ways that made service members feel their attendance was required, even without a Defense Department directive.
