Have you heard that the Pentagon budget is going up more? Yes, even more. What is that spent on? Well, a lot of it is spent on dumb garbage that gets disposed of creatively, and we’re here to discuss it.
However, before we talk about that, we talk about a story about an Army Major getting imprisoned in a Polish sex dungeon while blackout, in which strippers bit him to keep him awake while running his credit card. Field-grades: don’t let it happen to you! The story is here:https://taskandpurpose.com/news/us-army-officer-poland-obsession/
Our discussion of the Army’s property system, and the sheer volume of waste we’ve seen in our own time in uniform, starts at 22:32.
For this week’s bonus, we ask some important questions. Why is the DoD spending money on memes? Why does anyone think this will influence our 'adversaries?' What sort of propaganda is this? To analyze this entire phenomenon, Francis brought on Shocks and Joe to discuss it in detail. Get it on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/50316927
