Send us Fan Mail Trent and Peaches are back on the Ones Ready podcast, and this members-only episode is a no-holds-barred roast of Hollywood’s war movie obsession, questionable haircuts, and the veteran life nobody talks about.

From counter-UAS task forces to the Pentagon’s \$330M-per-jet regrets, this episode tears into drone threats, Space Force drama, and Operation Midnight Hammer’s massive flex… that also accidentally exposed all our weak spots.

Send us Fan Mail Let’s get one thing straight—this ain’t your typical Air Force hype-fest. Xavier Knapp went from "please God, not F-16s" to becoming the standout maintainer in Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary. In this episode, we pull the curtain all the way back on what it really means to be a top-tier wrench-turner in the Air Force. Xavier shares the unfiltered truth about failing o...

Send us Fan Mail The Pentagon’s busy doing backflips to avoid picking a side in the Israel-Iran slugfest, while the U.S. military quietly scrambles tankers, evacuates families, and acts like $300 is enough to survive Naples, Italy.

Send us Fan Mail The Pentagon is getting Spiderwebbed , CENTCOM’s begging for a faster arms dealer, and Iran claims it bagged three F-35s (with CGI receipts, naturally). In this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Jared rips through the absurdity of base security theater, why our military sales process might as well be faxed from 1996, and why trusting SpaceX while threatening to cancel their contracts is...
