  • Ops Brief 114: Daily Drop - 22 Dec 2025 - Military News, AI Nonsense & V-22 Drama
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Just Peaches in the team room for a straight-up Daily Drop—no guests, no fluff, no pretending this is anything other than a military news brain dump with commentary. He rips through the latest Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force headlines, calls out public affairs stories that say nothing, breaks down AI hype in the DoD, reacts to V-22 updates, joint exercises, NATO tech, recruiting wins, Space Force moves, and why interoperability is still hard as hell. This isn’t polished. It’s not scripted. It’s one operator reading the news, connecting dots, and telling you what actually matters. If you want clean narratives, look elsewhere. If you want context and blunt takes, this one’s for you.

  • Ep 540: Make Air Force Special Warfare Great Again? Or Are You Just High on Nostalgia
    Dec 19 2025

    Send us a text

    Trent flies solo and takes a flamethrower to nostalgia—inside the military, inside Air Force Special Warfare, and inside your own head. What does “make it great again” even mean? When was it great… really? Trent breaks down why every generation swears their pipeline, their suffering, and their era was the peak—and why that thinking quietly poisons progress. From GWOT legends to pipeline myths, cadre trauma, and emotional memory, this episode is a reality check for anyone yelling from the sidelines. Legacy matters. Fallen brothers matter. But if all you’ve got is “back in my day,” you’re not helping—you’re just loud.

    Send us a text

    Peaches goes full America-First-energy breaking down the 2025 National Security Strategy — AKA 33 pages of political chest-thumping turned into a spicy Ones Ready rant. Forget the bureaucratic fluff: border security, nukes, China, DEI dumpster-fires, NATO freeloading — Peaches calls it exactly how every warfighter wishes they could say it in briefings. If you think you’re informed because you skim headlines on social… think again. Grab a snack and prepare to get smarter (and maybe a little pissed).
