Read this powerful article by @thetimes , and reflect on what has been shared.. This is not just “persecution by (extremely clumsy) process” imposed upon active-duty SAS operators fighting to detain vicious ISIS thugs in an active war zone, but also an example of performative self-immolation initiated by the most senior UK Special Forces officer at the time (G Jenkins) as self-serving exercise in what HE calls ‘transparency’…… So, if someone, anyone (quite possibly an enemy) within an active war zone says the SAS killed an unarmed man, then the so-called ‘senior leaders’ (some, as in this case, with near-zero combat experience) within the Whitehall-based ‘UK system’ desperate to demonstrate something that they call ‘transparency’ (or whatever else floats the MOD’s boat), will automatically launch an aggressive RMP operation to detain the SAS men involved…. Not on the basis of any hard evidence (there is no crime scene, no bodies, no bullets etc), but purely on distant, uncorroborated hearsay and remote, delayed analysis of operational reports; all supported by desk-bound, chinless leaders that seemingly care more about how they will (personally) look in an MOD promotion board than trying to properly understand the circumstances faced by the SAS men and defend them accordingly. What a gift this utterly pathetic weakness, low threshold investigative process and twisted self-defeating system gives to our many enemies….and what an awful message it sends to those that still volunteer to fight on our all of our behalves….

Aucune place pour la violence dans notre République. Ceux qui ont cassé, attaqué les préfectures comme les commerces, pillé jusqu’à nos mairies, seront poursuivis et punis. Aux forces de l’ordre, garantes du droit à manifester, je dis le soutien de la Nation. Nous ferons tous bloc face aux semeurs de chaos, qui ne cherchent qu’à abattre nos institutions et empêchent ceux qui expriment pacifiquement leurs revendications de le faire.

NOW - Chaos at Place de la République in Paris, France.

🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely WILD footage has emerged from Atlanta where an apartment complex now uses "robot security dogs" to patrol the area at night. The robot dogs also seem to speak in Indian accents to the residents. I've never seen anything like this before... insane!!!

On this day in history 79 years ago today, Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier. Flying the Bell X-1 Glamorous Glennis (named for his wife), he was dropped from a B-29 over Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave, then rocketed to Mach 1.06 (about 700 mph) at roughly 43,000 feet. The ride smoothed out as he crossed the threshold. No sudden wall, just a clean sonic boom heard on the desert floor. What stands out for me is the grit: two days earlier he’d broken two ribs falling off a horse! He told almost no one, had a civilian doctor tape him up, and used a sawed-off broomstick (improvised by engineer Jack Ridley) to close the hatch with his good arm. Then he went up and flew the profile anyway. The “sound barrier” turned out to be a solvable engineering and control problem, not a hard limit. That single flight opened the door to everything that followed in high-speed aviation. #ChuckYeager #SomeBarrier #AviationHistory
