I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I visited Gettysburg battlefield a few years ago. Stood at the “high water mark” and stepped over the wall and out into the field.” A few paces out and I froze. Went right back. There are too many ghosts on that field.

OTD (and the next two) 80 years ago, the Battle of Leyte Gulf was taking place. In ground-focused monographies and short magazine articles, the event is oversimplified to a point that I had no idea just how dramatic of a battle it was. This thread doesn't have this problem.

Ok. This is going to be a long thread about #WW2 in the Pacific: the Battle off Samar, which is a subset of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest sea battle in #History due to the area, & amount of combatants. First, let’s look at the background and what caused this collision.

Ok, I’ve had a week “off” of the Navy - but if you’re going to keep shoving this ad in front of me, I’m going to say it: That guy in the bottom right put a turd in his buddy’s chest pocket and he can barely contain himself while their commander pins his warfare device.

A view of #hurricanerafael2024 We fly through the eye wall and eye at 10,000 feet, find the center, and collect the data that assists with movement and intensity forecasts. The data we collect can improve a forecast by anywhere from 15-25 percent. #WeatherReady

"Rat Transport" and the Battle of Lunga Point The transport consist of destroyers carrying drums filled with munitions and food to Guadalcanal off the coast of Tassafaronga, where they were dropped into the sea and picked up by land troops on small boats. The US military called this transport destroyer fleet (Destroyer Squadron 2, commanded by Rear Admiral Raizō Tanaka) the "Tokyo Express," while the Navy self-deprecatingly called it the "Mouse Transport" (because they were sneaking around, trying not to catch the enemy's attention). On November 30th, it encountered an American fleet and a naval battle ensued. Although one destroyer was sunk, the heavy cruiser Northampton was sunk and three other heavy cruisers were severely damaged, resulting in a Japanese victory, But failed to complete the intended supply mission.
