Description: Send us a textIn today’s Daily Drop, Jared serves up the Pentagon’s latest budget clowns and bureaucratic “wins” with his usual spicy commentary. First up: the Defense Secretary is finally chopping some four-star generals—because apparently you don’t need that many bosses to lose wars. Meanwhile, the Air Force is overhauling basic training again (spoiler: it might actually get hard), Space Force is still figuring out who’s supposed to do what, and DoD firefighters are overworked and underpaid (but hey, thanks for showing up!).Also on deck: the U.S. tests a reusable hypersonic missile (finally catching up to China), Tricare’s paperwork hell drags on, and Congress realizes that refurbishing 60-year-old missile silos is maybe not the best idea. Oh—and Space Force might just give up on satellite refueling before it even starts because… math?👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, join the membership, and snag some merch at OnesReady.com.
