TAMPA, Fla. β€” U.S. special operations officials are set to select a new machine gun in the coming months to give shooters .50-caliber-like performance in a lightweight machine gun package, according to the program manager for special operations lethality.

Army Lt. Col. Tosh Lancaster said here Tuesday during the Special Operations Forces Week conference that Special Operations Command will select its so-called Lightweight Medium Machinegun, or LWMMG, by Oct. 1.

      How do You Classify Classified Information in the Trump Administration?

      And How do you Define Foreign Relations in the Trump Administration? Well this is funny... On Monday Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem included in their filings to the court that "disclosing the information sought by (Judge) Boasberg would harm US national security or foreign relations." This is in regard to the Trump administration defying a court order to turn two airplanes around that where heading to a prison in El Salvador. On a sidebar, some families are coming out saying that their sons are not gang members and that they don't have criminal records in the US. In addition, several news outlets claim many of the people deported aren’t part of the Treb de Aragua gang. This whole situation has not been transparent at all. But the funny part is what Rubio & company stated in their filings to the court: "disclosing the information sought by (Judge) Boasberg would harm US national security or foreign relations." If this is going to harm national security, what damage was caused by the recent release of classified information in a chat group that discussed the particulars of the raid on Yemen that inadvertently included a reporter from The Atlantic in the chat group? But that isn't all... Again: "disclosing the information sought by (Judge) Boasberg would harm US national security or foreign relations." How would that do anymore damage to our foreign relations than what Trump has done with our relations to Canada, Europe, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, Mexico, and other countries that have no choice but to change course in their diplomatic relations to the United States?

      'Heads are Exploding': How Security Experts See the Signal War-plan Breach

      "Any one of us that served in the military or serve in the military would be in Leavenworth if we did this," An extraordinary breach of U.S. security is stunning security and intelligence veterans, after a journalist was added to a Trump administration group chat on Signal, where senior leaders discussed plans for a military strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen. The breach left military and intelligence experts asking the same questions as the public: Why would top U.S. officials use a free messaging app to discuss classified military plans? How could a journalist be added to their group chat?
