He is selfish and completely not capable of doing what it takes to win.
The USA might need now again a Secretary of War.
That is not Hairspray-fog Pete Hegseth.
That is not trust-fund-baby crybaby Donald J. Trump, never-was-anything but a Blustering Fool with a stupid brand-name and spending his daddy's war-profiteer loot.
This news-item, the point of this note, was certainly not the product of Pete Hegseth.
I see it as a reminder of the whole point of whatever it was that caused me to ride off into the horizon that is this public campaign of mine since 05/10/2006.
I was aghast to (re)discover AFTER 05/10/2006 that what I have discovered was well in progress from BEFORE 05/10/2006
I told the VA doctors that it must have all started in year 2006 and because of my work in those years after 2006, I have decided that was supposed to be the year it ENDED.
Has not ended.
I see this guy showing up now again to make an exclamation mark on that point.

Belknap-class cruiser
From Wikipedia
The Belknap-class cruiser was a class of single-ended guided-missile cruisers (their missile armament was installed only forward, unlike "double-ended" missile cruisers with missile armament installed both forward and aft) built for the United States Navy during the 1960s. They were originally designated as DLG frigates (destroyer leaders; the USN use of the term frigate from 1950 to 1975 was intended to evoke the power of the sailing frigates of old),[citation needed] but in the 1975 fleet realignment, they were reclassified as guided missile cruisers (CG).
In the early 1980s, the Terrier missiles were replaced with RIM-67 Standard missiles; and during the NTU program in the late 1980s and early 1990s the class had its Standard SM-1 system upgraded to utilize SM-2ER Block II, the 3-inch guns were replaced with two 4 cell Harpoon Surface-to-surface missile launchers, and two Phalanx CIWS systems were installed.

RIM-67 Standard
From Wikipedia
The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) with a secondary anti-ship capability, originally developed for the United States Navy (USN).
Existing ships with the Mk86 guided missile fire control system, or "Terrier" were adapted to employ the new missile in place of the older RIM-2 Terrier missile. Ships that switched from the RIM-2 Terrier to the RIM-67A were still referred to as Terrier ships even though they were equipped with the newer missile.

And I was overhearing people saying things that stuck in my mind. A person in line behind me at Starbucks on February 7, 2004, (I remember the date because I quit Microsoft the day before) comments to another person, in the only words they shared, that "after all that, he quits." I thought about that for a long time.

The combination of the Pave Lows and Apaches had worked as hoped. All of the planning, calculating, and training had paid off. As Capt. Martin was leading his formation back to the south, he could see in the clear night air above the massive formations of allied aircraft heading for the radar gap. He remembered:
You could look off to the south and there were blinkers lined up. You could see a long way on goggles. And it's also desert, so it's clear. There were anti-collision lights lined up; it looked like an LA freeway.... And they were all chasing these big blinkers ... [the]tankers. Then all of a sudden, there was a point where there were no more lights. So they would get gas, drop off, turn lights off, and head north. (11)
One F-15E fighter pilot who was in that massive gaggle of firepower wrote a thank you letter to the men of Task Force Normandy which said, "During our [flight intelligence] brief, we noticed our route of flight took us right over an active [radar] site.... We were told not to worry about it! We saw the explosions and your helicopters in our FLIR as we flew over you.

A few days ago, back on the morning of the 16th, was when I think I was poisoned again. The effect was unmistakable. The symptoms began immediately after I ate breakfast at that McDonalds place nearby. I had not gone there for quite a while before that morning. That is the same McDonalds that I referenced in an email to you about that NBC television series "Revolution." That is the place across from the cemetery where Jimmi Hendrix is buried here in Renton Highlands in Washington State. I noted in the email to you about how that street is named Monroe.
The symptoms lingered for about three days and wasn't bad enough for me to need to go to the hospital so there's really not much point even writing this to you now.
The reason however I wanted to transmit across the wire this information, which I don’t want to publish in my public blog, is because of what I watched last night on CBS television in the "NCIS: Los Angeles" television series. They were talking about "being made" and there was a lot of illegal immigrants that got shot dead and I am wondering if I stumbled into something again here back on the 16th and that is why they poisoned me.
The height of paranoia is to get all worked up about Spanish-speaking immigrants jabbering away behind the fast-food counter and so I was trying to not pay much attention to them during the 6 AM hour of Saturday the 16th. Something seemed to have them riled up and more than once I wondered if that was because I suddenly showed up there in the darkness of that morning. Other non-verbal signals among customers already in there made me wonder too. I would have ignored it all if I had not felt distressed immediately afterwards walking back to my apartment. The symptoms lasted longer than simple indigestion would have and my suspicions were that I ingested some kind of chemical element they contaminated my food with.

Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.
Leoben: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge, that's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack. Right, well, that's not enough Adama. I've been here for hours. Once they find you, it won't take them that long to destroy you. They'll be in and out before they even get a headache.
Adama: Maybe. (He grabs Leoben, pushes him up against the wall.) But you, you won't find out, because you'll be dead in a few minutes. How does that make you feel? If you can feel.
Leoben: Oh, I can feel more than you could ever conceive of, Adama. But I won't die. When this body dies, my consciousness will be transferred to another one. And when that happens, (he collapses to the ground with a groan) I think I'll tell the others exactly where you are, and I think that they'll come, and they'll kill all of you. And I'll be here watching it happen.
Adama: You know what I think? I think if you could have transferred out of here, you woulda done it long before now. I think the storm's radiation really clogged up your connection. You're not going anywhere. You're stuck in that body.
Leoben: Doesn't matter. Sooner or later, (he smiles) the day comes when you can't hide from the things you've done.

Task & Purpose
Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer now a special assistant to Hegseth
Jeff Schogol
Tue, July 28, 2026 at 9:24 AM PDT 3 min read
Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient, reenlists at the Pentagon and becomes a special assistant to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Dakota Meyer, who was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2011 and rejoined the Marines last year after more than a decade as a civilian, is now a special assistant to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to the Pentagon.
No information about Meyer's responsibilities in his new role was immediately available.
Meyer, a sergeant in the Marine Reserve, was awarded the Medal of Honor for rescuing dozens of U.S. and allied troops in a 2009 ambush in Afghanistan. He left the Marines in 2010. Meyer reenlisted in the Marine Reserve in 2025 and completed the service's arduous Basic Reconnaissance Course in April.
Meyer's role in Hegseth's office appears to be as a civilian. He is classified as a special government employee in his new role while he remains in the Marine Reserve, said Joel Valdez, the Pentagon's acting press secretary.
On Monday, Meyer shared photos on social media showing him being sworn into his new job by retired Army Sgt. Maj. Eric Geressy, senior advisor to Hegseth.
"Raising my right hand and taking the oath again was a reminder that service is a lifelong commitment," Meyer wrote in a Monday social media post. "I don't take that responsibility lightly, and I'm committed to serving our Service Members, their families, and the American people to the very best of my ability."
Reenlisted with 'more to give'
In 2011, Meyer became the first living Marine to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. Two years earlier, he rescued a total of 36 U.S. and Afghan troops and helped recover four fallen American service members after the Taliban ambushed his unit in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
Though he was out of the Marine Corps when he received the Medal, he reenlisted in the Marine Reserve last year.
"I realized I had more to give," Meyer told reporters in April 2025. "I love this country with every moral fiber of my being. I always have. The same reason that I joined 20 years ago is the same reason I'm coming back in. I've just got more to give, and it's just such an honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women wearing the nation's cloth today."
After returning to the Marines as an infantry rifleman, Meyer earned the Reconnaissance Marine military occupational specialty in April when he completed the 12-week Basic Reconnaissance Course.
Meyer wrote on social media that he is honored to serve under Hegsteh, whom he described as a friend. He also thanked Geressy for giving him the opportunity to take on his new job.
In a separate post, Geressy praised Meyer for "once again answering the call" to serve the country.
"For someone who has already given so much in service to our Nation, seeing Dakota once again raise his right hand and swear to continue serving the American people and our Service Members was both humbling and inspiring," Geressy wrote.
