So I'm a non-nautical dumbass, but isn't like half the point of having a shitload of aircraft carriers that can rotate them so we don't run one ship into the ground?

On one hand yes, but on the other hand I do like it better than the model of charging novel prices for works 1/3 the normal length because nobody reads the page counts on Amazon before buying things.
The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · 4h agoI’m glad people are enjoying them but I was just looking up the lengths of these Dungeon Crawler Carl books, and there’s like 4,700+ pages so far? With 2-3 more books planned? I just have a hard time getting my head around this.

Hegseth's actions make a lot more sense when you realize that the War on Terror-era military, for all its other faults, accurately clocked him as an unsatisfactory officer, and he's trying to remake the military into one that wouldn't do that.

CyberOtters@cyberotters.bsky.social · yesterdaywww.newyorker.com/news/the-pol... Why would the New Yorker do a soft focus "Platner holds uneasy mirror up to America's veteran problem" while ignoring his PMC time? Seems like an important piece of his puzzle not shared by the vast, vast majority of the combat veteran community.
I've snarked about Hegseth a lot, but I want to take a moment and make it 100% clear that I sincerely despise him, it's not a bit, I would go to Hell whistling "Walking on Sunshine" as long as I knew he'd be roasting at a higher temperature than me.

Wondering how many people at all levels of the military would rather be a veteran of a senseless war than a veteran who served their time without a war, and how much that shapes how the military advises (or fails to advise) its civilian leadership.

Imagine deciding to rehab "Pike Goon #2" from the 2010 A-Team movie for The New Yorker.
This just be the facts though. Also Fletcher's early WWI career was HYSTERICAL.
When Frank Jack Met Maggie
Fame and glory lay ahead for him, but first, a young officer named Frank Jack Fletcher had to command a wheezing gut-bucket in World War I.

@thinkingbayonet.bsky.social · 2d agoYou might read this and think to yourself, "boy, he really doesn't like VMI." And you would be correct, I have nothing good to say about that dogshit racist clownshoes institution. VMI produced the worst two people I ever met in uniform, both of whom, in a just world, would be in prison.
