Ops Brief 096: Daily Drop - 28 Aug 2025 - AI Can’t Save the Pentagon

Peaches is back in the team room roasting bureaucracy, butchering rare earth minerals, and breaking down the latest defense chaos. From the Kabul Abbey Gate report that probably won’t change a thing, to U.S. troops in Indonesia firing Stingers for fun, to the Pentagon finally realizing maybe letting China work on our cloud wasn’t genius—this drop is loaded. He rants about B-21 bombers, F-35 sustainment deals, NATO missile shopping, and why the DoD still can’t buy software faster than a TikTok update. Oh, and yes, stolen valor talk is coming—but Peaches is taking it from a new angle you haven’t heard yet. Strap in, this one swings between hilarious and brutal.
