"This relationship between combat and support personnel is referred to as the “tooth-to-tail ratio.” John J. McGrath defined the ratio as “the number of troops in a military organization employed in combat duties versus the number functioning in noncombat roles.” McGrath’s study, along with other recent scholarship, illustrates how the Army’s essential need for logistics support has grown into a tail that is too large, too expensive, and too inefficient."

🇺🇲🇮🇱🇵🇸 ❗️The American company Meta (social networks Facebook and Instagram) stated that it will delete content authored by Hamas or supporting this movement, follows from a message from the social network.

Not Quite General Lee:

"This is one of the two reasons why I no longer volunteer with the Naval Academy. It used to be that they always strived to have more minorities and women in order to have an officer corps that ethnically matches the enlisted force. Minorities and women were always preferred if all things were equal, but that is not the case these days. White male candidates were specifically not chosen over lesser qualified folks. This suit is a blessing for the long term good of USNA and I hope it succeeds."

YouTube Aims Left

The SJWs who have celebrated every demonetizing and deplatforming over the last nine years are suddenly beginning to realize that they will become targets when they fail to support the current Narrative too. They thought it would never happen to them, but Reddit is just now waking up to the unbelievable censorship at YouTube that […]

"In 1996 a task force, led by Richard Perle, produced a policy document noscriptd “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm” for Benjamin Netanyahu, who was then in his first term as Prime Minister of Israel, as a how-to manual on approaching regime change in the Middle East and for the destruction of the Oslo Accords.

"The “Clean Break” policy document outlined these goals: 1) Ending Yasser Arafat’s and the Palestinian Authority’s political influence, by blaming them for acts of Palestinian terrorism 2) Inducing the United States to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. 3) Launching war against Syria after Saddam’s regime is disposed of 4) Followed by military action against Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt."

I'm planning on promoting this channel a bit. If you enjoy the content I share, please reply with a blurb I can share.

"But it’s a hard call. I’m not at all surprised that Netanyahu and his IDF generals appear to be hesitating before giving the orders to begin the ethnic cleansing of the northern half of Gaza. For good or for ill, no decision of such magnitude should be made lightly, and despite all the theatrical posturing on the part of both sides, the outcome is highly uncertain and there will be no return from committing to such a horrific and hypocritical path regardless of the provocation.

"Despite the probable costs and consequences, the better strategic analysts understand why Netanyahu will probably roll the dice as his final act as Israel’s head of state."

"It’s clear as day for anyone with eyes to see. Israel is blocking off the northern half of Gaza, bombing anyone who goes there, in order to push the entire population south into Egypt. It’s textbook ethnic cleansing and genocide."

On October 13, another shipment of weaponry from Israel landed in Azerbaijan.

Despite the war on its own territory, Israel continues to fulfill its contractual obligations.

"China's population also fell for the first time in six decades, dropping to 1.41 billion people - a demographic shift that's caused officials to worry that the country will 'get old before it gets rich' - with a slowing economy and declining tax receipts amid increases in government debt due to soaring health and welfare costs."

Henry Kissinger's recent anti-immigration comments are not a sudden volte-face to defend Israel, like Ben Shapiro. Read this article published in The Jewish Daily Forward. Some Kissinger quotes:

"If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic [...] Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong."

"I’m going to be the first Jew accused of antisemitism.”

Kissinger found American Jews and Israelis "as obnoxious as the Vietnamese."

Kissinger also mocked those who defended Jews, especially Israelis. One such target was presidential adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose pro-Israel stance evoked this comment from Kissinger: "We are conducting foreign policy. … This is not a synagogue."
