In this spicy Daily Drop, Jared wades through the DoD’s latest chaos with all the charm of a migraine and none of the bureaucratic BS. Iranian missiles rain on Al Udeid (spoiler: we were ready), Raisin Kane flexes with Patriot batteries, and Trump might’ve poked the bear again—depending on who you ask. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's rolling out budget moves like a drunk accountant: retiring the A-10 (for real this time?), canceling the E-7 Wedgetail, and somehow not screwing up the Sentinel ICBM timeline… allegedly.

He torches military mental health hypocrisy (hi, Joe and your stripper wives), raises an eyebrow at Air Force budget math, and mourns the tragic losses of airmen in water-related incidents. Also: Space Force gets the Pixar treatment, cloud networks are trying to unf*** comms, and one moron laser-tagged F-16s and got... nine days in jail. Cool system we’ve got.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 💥 Al Udeid survives Iranian missile strike – 40 defenders, 2 minutes, zero hype.
• 🧨 Operation Midnight Hammer – 125 aircraft flex, Congress still asleep.
• 🤷‍♂️ A-10 finally retiring? Jared’s not buying it (and neither is Ukraine).
• 📉 Wedgetail canceled, B-21 boosted – so… we’re blind but stealthy?
• 🧠 Military spouses’ mental health – turns out marrying strippers isn’t a fix.
• 💻 Secure cloud networks – because current comms are held together by duct tape and prayers.
• 🌊 Two tragic airmen deaths in water – wear your damn life jackets.
• 🚀 SpaceX gets the nod – launching hurricane monitors and science toys.
• 🔦 Laser dude gets 9 days – interfering with F-16s = weekend timeout.
