I've seen a few posts purporting to be from military folks in the states who said a lot of that was a sly form of resistance like they had to do this on a day off so we're gonna tdo the bare minimum which would explain a lot. It also made the moron quite upset by the looks of it (especially looking at the meagre crowd sizes) and overall anything that achieves that is a cause for celebrations!

I have no desire for the us military to spend any more time or money practicing marching. Still the parade was so lackluster that it looked lame. I’d put any random army of the us military against any random NK battalion but nevertheless im sure Americas foes got a laugh out of this parade.Also who in the god damn whitehouse thought it would be a good idea to pay millions for this parade and still get corporate sponsors. Or more specific sponsors would be fine, have a banner somewhere but to periodically interrupt the parade to thank crypto sponsors and energy drinks company is so tacky. The us army proudly brought to you by …..Cause, on 15 June 2025 - 11:12 PM, said:
Large formations that march in perfect lockstep obviously have nothing better to do and are only good for parades.Do you realise how much practice is required to get more than a few dozen soldiers to march perfectly? Even just a march past? A LOT. A lot of time that could be spent doing pretty much anything else that has actual value.It was worse than I expected. They marched in the army combat uniform and didn’t even march in lock step. How well the army marches has nothing to do with how well they fight but honestly it looked so bad that it made the army look weak. Terrible optics all around.
Yeah, I've seen some of the footage and that may very well be the case for some of the soldiers. I pity the fuck out of those guys though when their senior NCOs, Sergeant Majors and Warrant Officers get their hands on them. Even if they hate Trump's guts they'll not tolerate anything that brings their service into disrepute. I foresee many, many shitty duties for any identified troops who their seniors think did it half-arsed. Probably missing out on promotion courses, sweet trips, put on every shitty exercise, painting rocks and digging holes, you name it. An elephant's memory is long, but not as long as an angry senior's. Elephants don't do as much damage when they are angry, either.
EDIT: and not to forget the drill "retraining". Dear God, it would be hours and hours every day out in the sun, with just enough breaks for water and shade as mandated by the work/rest ratio tables. No more than that. And it's summer over there isn't it? -

Email has been borked for a long time now. It may not be possible to fix it.
Fair enough. I knew it wasn't working for me but wasn't sure about anyone else.

Thanks Silencer for getting the security certificate fixed.
However, I'm pretty sure email notifications are still borked.
Also, did anyone else get 502 Bad Gateway messages over the last 24 hours? -

Can someone illuminate me on why this has heated up so quickly again?
Reading between the lines is Iran close to producing a viable nuclear weapon and Israel is having none of it? Not sure else why the US is withdrawing personnel.
Pessimist says... isn't this always the case? Is Netanyahu simply using Trump's presidency and free hand to do what he's always wanted to do?
Bibi needed another distraction.
