A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care.

U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal #law, the #military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life.

Times Of #Israel: In historic campaign across #Syria, #IDF says it destroyed 80% of Assad regime’s #military

After rebel takeover, Israeli Air Force and Navy strike missile depots, naval vessels, fighter jets and more to ensure they don’t fall into wrong hands.

Following a major 48-hour bombing campaign in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it had destroyed most of the former Bashar al-Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities, in an effort to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile elements.

In a statement, the IDF said that its Air Force and Navy had carried out over 350 strikes against “strategic targets” in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, taking out “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.”

The military estimated that it had destroyed 70-80 percent of the former Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities.

The operation was dubbed “Bashan Arrow” within the military, after the biblical name for the Golan Heights and southern Syria region.

The IDF released footage from the campaign, during which it said over 320 targets were struck across all of Syria.

"Some"?!?! How can anyone not see the militarization of AI, and it's use to create killing machines that will never disobey orders on moral grounds?

The uber wealthy are desperate for unquestioning armies to fight their wars and guards that won't turn on them when they run to their bunkers to try and protect themselves from #ClimateChange and the social upheaval it brings.

"I was ordered... to pull people inside the National Assembly building outside... I did not fulfill that task even though I knew it would be insubordination because based on my judgment, dragging lawmakers out was clearly an illegal act"

When asked what orders he gave to his unit, the commander said he prohibited giving live ammunition to individual soldiers

Soon, the tech behind #ChatGPT may help drone operators decide which enemies to kill
#OpenAI and #PalmerLuckey's #weapons company #AndurilIndustries sign agreement to explore lethal drone defense for #military use.
"As part of the new initiative, Anduril and OpenAI will explore how leading-edge AI models can be leveraged to rapidly synthesize time-sensitive data, reduce the burden on human operators, and improve situational awareness," Anduril said in a statement.

South Korea: “Our reputation has taken a serious hit,” said Seoul resident Kim Jung-ho. “We had built it up so much, especially this year with Han Kang winning the Nobel prize in literature and our peaceful global image. All of that crashed in an instant.”

Other people outside the national assembly believed the crisis had unexpectedly showcased the strength of the country’s democracy. “There might be some damage to our international image, but I’m less worried now,” said Bang Kyeong-rok, 31, a law student from Chonnam National University in Gwangju.

“The swift joint action by lawmakers and citizens to block this showed a positive side to #Korea. Seeing how citizens responded, and particularly how reluctant the #military was to fully enforce martial law, has made me more confident about our democracy’s resilience.”

As a reminder, Pete Hegseth, an alcoholic white nationalist, rape apologist, and former Fox commentator whose highest rank was Major thinks he's more qualified to be Sec. of Defense than Lloyd Austin, a 41 year veteran and former 4 star general with 3 years service as US CentCom, because Austin is Black. If you wanted to know what the height of caucasity and white arrogance looks like.

"Trump may force a second civil war on America with his plan to use the military to round up at least 11 million undocumented people inside the United States — even if it means breaking up families — send them to detention camps, and then deport them.

As well as his plan to target his political enemies for prosecution — including Democrats, journalists, and other critics."

The Defence Minister is considering a relatively unlikely level of conflict (and losses), but this seems like a subtle call for a modern "Dad's Army" (and surely we may need an equivalent of the #ARP against #cyberthreats and #sabotage and also repair parties to fix any #infrastructure which does get damaged in #WW3 ? )

Heidi Cuda points to Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friederichs' The Gravediggers: The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic:

"The book documents each day from November 17, 1932, until January 30, 1933, the day Hitler took power.

'The gravediggers didn’t have to triumph,' they concluded.

That tenet is a mirror of modern America. Greed, revenge, and amoral businessmen created a perfect storm for Hitler."
