You know nothing about the vital role played by female first response officers. A woman with a tazer is every bit as capable as her male counterpart. A woman at a scene will often diffuse a situation where a man may prompt escalation. The vast number of first response incidents do not include violence. And when violence does come, it often comes out of the blue.
There is no call at all from officers to have women removed from the front line. Also, you might like to ask the IDF if it considers women to be a front line asset or liability.

Where has all the money gone?
Great thread by @FTusa284
We are spending £63bn this year on defence (about 25% on Nuclear and some to Ukraine) but the outputs are pathetic.
The RN can barely get 4 frigates/destroyers or an SSN to sea. Army and RAF are similarly feeble.

OK, here's the rub: the UK spends a LOT on defence - but where's the money going?

One was the mechanical, industrialised attempt to eradicate an entire people, leading to the deaths of 6 million and the low point of modern humanity; one was the arrival of a boat.
I don’t think Remy learned much at all at school.

Advances in medical care are mainly to thank for people being kept alive - usually with terrible injuries and permanent scars.
Can we have the figures by ethnicity and nationality next please?

1/5 With the House of Commons Defence Committee issuing a report revealing the loss of under ice operational skills in the much diminished Submarine Service of the Royal Navy – at the very wrong moment, when the Russian undersea threat is rising again – it’s worth recalling that even when the RN had only diesel-electric boats (SSKs) it went under the ice. This was in the early Cold War when other nations dared not do it so much with SSKs (including the Americans). Proof of British daring is provided by this early 1960s periscope shot from HMS Auriga, by a young Rob Forsyth (future SSK and SSN CO) of a polynya (necessary for the submarine surface through).

The by now substantial number of mounts that came off the disappearing Royal Navy surface fleet... did it go to Ukraine in some form, i wonder...?
Where the hell did they all end up.

Today’s publication of the Defence Select Committee report into the High North highlights glaring capability gaps in defence.
With the withdrawal of HMS Protector last week, unlikely to go to sea again, and the scale of u fu def commitments in the Defence Investment Plan to be addressed in the budget next week, the Government must address its commitment to defence.
We’ve seen little of Wes Streeting as the new Defence Secretary, and when we do he trots out a succession of glib party political one-liners in the Commins, meanwhile capability withers and procurement continues to stall.
The Royal Navy will not meet its requirement for eight frigates fitted with the Sonar 2087 towed array until 2037 if two Type 26 frigates being built for Britain are sold to Norway, according to a report by the Defence Committee. Click image for more.

The inability to get soldiers out of isolated frontline positions for months on end has produced scenes like this - I can’t imagine the psychological damage to these guys

These are my great-grandfather Dr. Sam Aykroyd’s transcripts from the Seances he hosted in the Old Farmhouse. It was the spirit of his work passed down through the generations that inspired my interests. He’s the original Ghostbuster.
I see theft of motor vehicles is a topic this morning. If you buy a house you usually buy alarms and cctv etc. If you buy a new or expensive car buy any of the following: GAP insurance, a tracker, a ghost immobiliser, a Disklok and if you have a driveway then buy posts.

According to a very reliable source…
Something quite special happens on Trafalgar Day at Britannia Royal Naval College.
At 16:15 the sunlight shines exactly on the statue of Jesus Christ through a “Rose Window” at the back. It’s the only day and time it happens.

1/ Donald Trump's comments blaming a "very stupid" Russian general for "getting stuck in the mud" during the 2022 assault in Kyiv have attracted derision and amusement from Russian warbloggers, who point out that those responsible have been promoted. ⬇️

Trump on Ukraine War:
The Russians had a thousand tanks riding up a concrete highway.
They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, going maximum tank speed, which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. Nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day.
And this very stupid general—I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living.
He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, rather than staying on the highway—the concrete highway, perfectly good highway—where they were doing very nicely.
It would have been three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended.
He ended up getting stuck in the mud.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Russian tanks did use highways to Kyiv in 2022 and took heavy losses. The main reason the 40-mile convoy failed was it lacked fuel and food. Ukraine blew bridges, flooded the Irpin, and ambushed columns.

This is a sickening and disgusting act committed by a vile individual.
Sir David was respectful, kind and a powerful advocate for free speech and expression. He always debated political differences with dignity.
To disrespect his life and legacy in this way is dreadful.
