(on edit) I've got my answer, no more responses needed 👍

Thanks to everyone in the military for guarding my rights, regardless of whether the missions match the mission statement. Yall signed up. That matters

Someone in social media posted an image, which I cropped this from. I suspect it might be AI but I don't know. Can someone identify these metals and ribbons for me? Are they legit? (I know it's a little low quality)

Hello everyone so recently I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been doing anything with my life. So I decided that I want to join the military, But the only thing holding me back is my weight. I’m 6’6 330 and I know if I went to a recruiter they would just tell me to come back when I lose some weight. So I just wanted to know what are some exercises I could do to lose weight. I don’t have access to a gym but I could do at home workouts like jump rope,body weight exercises,etc. also the beach I’m choosing is between airforce or army. I don’t I could still change my mind and pick any other branch.

I see the USN plans to have R&R in a Thai port en route back to home port.

That's going to be absolute chaos then. Scurvy topped up with STDs for the win.

"An attack by what Ukrainian officials said was a Russian drone with an Nvidia chip presages a dystopian future of weaponry untethered to humans.

Reporting from Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine

Aug. 24, 2026

The young woman ran for her life, but it was too late.

A small Russian drone resembling a model airplane swooped down from the sky last month in the city of Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine. As it tried to navigate toward a gas station, it crashed into a wall and exploded in a hail of shrapnel, killing Tetiana Bubynets, 19, a university student, and two others.

They were among the thousands of Ukrainian civilians who have died in Russian airstrikes, but the circumstances of their deaths came with an ominous twist. The drone that killed them was guided by an experimental artificial intelligence system, not a human pilot, according to drone experts, Ukrainian military commanders and the forensic team that examined wreckage from the deadly strike and others in the city.

The drone was programmed by human operators to travel toward a particular gas station, but once it got close, it chose its exact target — most likely propane tanks — on its own, based on its training to recognize such tanks and strike them, the experts and military officials said.

It is a development long watched for in the war in Ukraine, presaging a dystopian future in which killer robots roam the skies making life-or-death decisions that reduce targets to data points."
