RIP Warrior. Matt Bourgeois was a hilarious bro from Florida I served with at ST1. He used to spin people up by referring to the civil war as the “war of northern aggression”
Very quietly there is an absolute epidemic of suicide now occurring in the SEAL community. The CO of ST1 at Christmas followed by an east coast junior officer. SOCS Mike Day, the legend who was shot 27x & walked away killing 4 with his pistol, killed himself 2 weeks ago.
For myself, the anxiety I am experiencing lately is related to watching a nation I once served & admired turning violently against its principles. Perhaps it never really had them. My military career feels like wasted time now.
This is happening throughout SOCOM & the rest of the combat arms community in all branches. Why? Nobody is sure, but the failed Afghan withdrawal has been a rugpull for many guys whose sense of purpose was shattered by throwing that all away.
I’m hearing from contacts within US SOF that Dan Crenshaw, among others, is pushing hard for an AUMF against the Mexican drug cartels.
While this might sound like a good idea to some, it’s a complete disaster and would result in death & destruction for our country.
This is definitely a time to call up your brothers to check on them & to be in fellowship yourself. I feel the anxiety more than ever & I’m not an Afghan vet (Iraq). Something is happening & it’s not good.

California in the 70s-80s was an epic place to grow up with incredible opportunity and a fun and supportive society. Now it is a totalitarian shithole that is circling the drain.
As a kid being from Cali was something others hugely admired. Now it’s an embarrassment to admit.

I’m out. I use it as a convenience from time to time, but that’s it. Is there a similar platform that isn’t as woke? Cash app maybe?
Let’s count the ways this is a bad idea.
1. Our borders are wide open and under the operational control of the cartels already.
2. Millions of illegal aliens, many of whom are cartel connected, have already infiltrated the US & we have scant information on their whereabouts.
5. Our military is a sad joke & everybody knows it. Sure, we can bomb stuff & do some cool SOF raids, but the enemy is well behind our lines already & nothing will change that.
Did I mention Crenshaw wants to suspend Posse Commitatus for this?
3. The Chinese already work closely with the cartels to supply fentanyl. They would enthusiastically join the cartels as a key weapons supplier just as we are “aiding” the Ukrainians. They certainly would have their eye on west coast territory if things went well for them.
7. Our society is soft as a baby’s ass & riddled with woke guilt. What happens when every Hispanic is a potential enemy combatant? It’s hard to say, but this cartel war would become a de facto race war radicalizing established Mexicans against the US as well.
Fentanyl is killing thousands & we’ve imported millions of illiterate peasants sure, but we brought that on to ourselves. If you leave the garage open, thieves will steal your golf clubs. That’s on you. Picking this fight would be the end of us. We’d become Mexico with plumbing.
4. While the cartel settles scores in the US already, they have mostly limited their actions to “soldiers” who are part of the game. If we began striking them at home, the gloves come off. In MX, they are equally as brutal as ISIS. Expect gruesome murders here.
Am I taking crazy pillz because I’m not hearing anybody mention the fact that Biden had a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to protect his son’s $1M/yr no show job. Why are we here Brandon?
6. Law enforcement is not trained or organized for this either. Existing constitutional protections would hamstring efforts to uncover cells & protect the public. This would lead to abandoning our rights altogether for the sake of security.
@EricRWeinstein
I compare it to summer 2020 here in the US when 10+ cities were burned and looted by blm/antifa as they received $40M+ in donations that nobody at the time questioned.
To declare truckers terrorists subject to 0 due process & forfeiture of donations seems outrageous.
I’m sure we’d kill several high profile cartel bosses in the beginning, but like the muj, it just wouldn’t matter. Newer more vicious bosses would rise up. Attacks in the US would escalate to schools, churches, & other soft targets.
It’s one thing to watch Iraqis, Syrians, & Afghans get their country flattened on tv. It’s something else to see it happen to your town, your family, your biz and for what?
Can this even be prevented? Maybe if we get our asses kicked in Taiwan, the neocons will need some time to lick their political wounds. But they want this badly and unless we eject these psychopaths from our midst, they’ll never stop.
Rather than consuming whatever MSM garbage that was dumped on the nation, I was getting this place inspected.
Question: What do I call this? I say it’s a ranch, my wife says lodge.
Actually it’s a Citadel.
Would this scenario kill the dollar as reserve currency? Yes.
Entice the Chinese to occupy west coast ports & cities? Yes.
God only knows the downstream consequences of something this stupid. I just know it would be bad.

I’ve lived my entire life in California. Born in 1970. It has never been this terrible on so many levels as it is right now. Transients out of control. Housing costs out of control. Taxes out of control. Forest fires out of control. Gas prices out of control. Utilities, etc.

So it’s a mystery why hardly any nations have been “developed” since WW2, but IMF sponsor nations have gained control of more wealth, resources, political control over the debtor nations during this time period.
I’m old enough to remember when the gays claimed that they just wanted marriage equality & we Christians were monsters for suggesting this was a slippery slope. That was 2008. We’re ½ way down the slope now & at the bottom is open p3dophilia. Standby.
One of my bros who was an 8 tour AFO in Astan has laid on an dicey exfil for his key source and his family. Please say a prayer that this hero and his family makes it. 🙏

It was shocking to the community. These bridge incidents often close the bridge for hours so to have a resident go this route was unexpected leaving aside the SEAL affiliation. Very unusual & tragic.

I wouldn’t lift a finger to attract them.
Raise your hand if you believe that our entire involvement in this Ukraine debacle is the result of blackmail directed at Biden by Zelensky & the Ukrainians.

This is the crucial insight. Once consent to trans “care” is instantiated in children, there will be no barriers remaining to them consenting to sex with adult p3dophiles. That’s where this is heading.

I worked with TB @ DHS before he left. The guy is a Mormon with a huge family and a solid guy. He volunteered for the child trafficking group because he wanted to genuinely be helpful. Smearing him is unfair & helps the left.
Greatest answer ever.
I’ve imagined what it could be like to be in a SEAL platoon full of Christians, but it’s not a realistic scenario.
What a blessing that a women’s softball team did pull that off and it’s resulted in amazing success.

Enormous inflation has various economic consequences for one thing. Also, we jump from gaslit crisis to crisis over & over. Gaslighting makes people doubt reality & the permanent crisis is overwhelming & stressful.
My “predictions” about how this might go are certainly debatable, but my intent is to expose this initiative & openly discuss it. I’ve seen an insurgency in person down range & there are no winners especially on our homeland. The conflict would not be contained in Mexico.

That’s fewer weapons that can be used against us internally. I stopped caring about military readiness last year. It’s a hopeless situation currently.

It is well understood that the cartels avoid involving AMCITS in there vendettas in MX tho it does happen. They don’t want to provoke us militarily. That goes out the window if we struck them in MX. Retaliation in the US is guaranteed. Gruesome examples would be made.

Hoz is proof of how a bad contract can tend to “force” a team not to play its best lineup for economic reasons. Myers has immediately become a far better 1B and he’s been here all along.
Let me add that I owned a home in Los Cabos for many years & spent lots of time in Baja. I love the Mexican people & enjoy spending time there. I currently live within 15 miles of the border so I have skin in this game.

You’re just wrong here. No outrage. My wife goes to a yoga class put on by a French couple & they don’t include any spiritual component. It is literally just stretching. Not sure why you want to die on this hill. You’re saved 3 years bro, you are new here. Take a knee.
These people are scared. They understand what is happening. They are losing control. You can’t jawbone math away. Absolute scarcity meeting gargantuan demand is happening. Decentralization vs money printing will force eyes to open. These people are frauds & monsters.
