About this listen
In this explosive deep dive we connect the dots from Operation Absolute Resolve—where U.S. airpower cleared the skies for Delta Force to seize Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro in a breathtaking raid—to the lesser-known heroes and hidden figures you didn’t see in Black Hawk Down 🪖. We’ll also unpack how new waist-to-height ratio body-composition rules are reshaping military readiness in 2026, and why fitness matters as much as firepower in today’s armed forces. Then we rewind to two fascinating bygone experiments: the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison, America’s Cold War plan to launch ICBMs from railroad cars across the U.S. rail network, and the airborne Flying Platform experiments of the 1950s, engineered to levitate soldiers into battle long before drones were in vogue. This is a tour through strategy, strength, and surreal military tech history. 🚁 📏 🚆 ⚙️ https://lateforchangeover.com/
