Ops Brief 093: Daily Drop - 22 Aug 2025 - Is Emerald Warrior Still a Dumpster Fire?

Another day, another Ones Ready drop where Peaches serves up hot takes with a side of sarcasm. From the Pentagon’s endless talent for screwing up interagency comms, to South Korea pulling more weight than half our “allies,” nothing is safe. We get speculation on who’s about to run the Air Force (spoiler: maybe a guy retiring today), a brutal roast of Emerald Warrior’s exercise circus, and even a congrats to 21 shiny-new pilots who are about to find out what pain really looks like. Sprinkle in Coasties seizing bricks of cocaine, the military health system trying to prove it’s relevant, and—oh yeah—the Ones Ready crew just casually hit their 500th episode. Strap in, because Peaches doesn’t do “polished briefings.”
