Ops Brief 034: Daily Drop - 25 April 2025 (Fat and Blaming the Air Force)

Welcome to another savage Daily Drop where Jared sifts through the Pentagon’s greatest hits — everything from the Air Force shoving 31 more fighters into Korea, to Space Force getting table scraps for a budget, to the shocking revelation that 66% of the Guard and Reserve are apparently auditioning for "My 600-lb Life: Military Edition."

Along the way, we roast the Signal App scandal (spoiler: everyone uses it), laugh at the "makeup room" conspiracy (Hexeth allegedly turned the Pentagon green room into Sephora), and wonder why America still thinks tanks are cooler than satellites. Also: a reality check on why Uber is cheaper than ruining lives with a DUI.

Buckle up. This one’s loaded with bad decisions, hot takes, and a gentle reminder that if you can’t save someone from drowning, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t be rocking that uniform.

Obesity in the Force: Two-thirds of the Guard and Reserve are thicker than a Snickers — and that's not a compliment.
