Same experience here. The SP personnel on air bases, all in all, similar to the MPs. I noticed also the quality and professionalism of the units were reflective of that of their command. The DoD security personnel?? I won’t say more. Also, some in the OSI units on air bases were uh… different or spooky and didn’t seem to operate through normal channels nor chains of command.Yup, the DoD guys were as bad or worse than the AF SP's. I can't count the number of times I've seen them drop their sidearm or M16. They really needed 3 hands!
I was kinda afraid if I yelled anything, that he'd shoot himself in the foot!
We had contract security, they were really good, and professional. A lot came from within the organization, when they retired, so they stayed in the family.
As part of the Epstein files being posted, his last interview came out as well. He was being interviewed at length by Steve Bannon.
I had the pleasure of working in financial services on and off for 35 years. I've met morons, I've met geniuses. My observation by hanging on Epstein's every word is that he knew very little about finances. More specifically, I'm more confident than ever that he and his handlers were running a honeypot or influence peddling, because the world certainly wasn't getting financial brilliance from this man's mouth. Worth a listen, judge for yourself.
If my wife were more amiable to it, I would be selling my properties in the UK. I just wish Reform were a more reliable party. But alas, I doubt there is much hope to saving the UK.More labour government shite in uk....or England to be accurate.....countryside is too white...
I've always thought a face palm and vomit emoji would be highly useful.

This might be a bit controversial, but I think all of the individuals mentioned will be of great value and I cannot find much reason to complain. But as you pointed out, “peace” is rather secondary here all things considered.The "Board of Peace" is a bit of a misnomer..
Its a group intended to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza.. it initially had a singular mission, not a global one.. (although now they are already expanding their aperture and talking about global "peace")..
and.. since Israel is on board with the idea.. any other nation that is not on board is essentially cutting themselves out of any business interest surrounding the reconstruction effort in Gaza..
this isnt about peace at all..
its about money...
and look at who the Executive Board is...
Marco Rubio - US SECSTATE
Steve Witkoff - US Special Envoy to the M.E.
Jared Kushner - Trumps son in law
Tony Blair - UK former PM
Marc Rowan - US billionaire - CEO of $785B hedge fund. Wharton Grad. Long time personal friend of Trump.
Ajay Banga - World Bank President - US/India dual national. Former CEO of Master Card. (important to remember the President of the World Bank is appointed by the US President)
Robert Gabriel - US National - former Deputy National Security Advisor
All US nationals with the exception of Tony Blair, who was always super US friendly.. and NONE of them have any experience in reconstruction... they all however have EXTENSIVE experience in business, money making, and politics..
The US will control this "board" (not a bunch of developing nations like we see at the UN).. and this board will control what COMPANIES get involved in nation building post conflicts..
Hair brained idea? maybe...
Build on hubris and ego? probably...
but.. at least where Gaza is concerned (where they are first headed)... you wont be seeing France, Germany, or anyone else thats opting out 1) having any influence or 2) making any money..
I’ve found the South Koreans to be exceptional military partners, reliable and honest business partners, and generally good people overall…. And I agree.. as a rule they are very traditionally conservative both fiscally and socially…Trump’s treatment of South Korea is reprehensible. I have done pretty extensive business in the country and they are exceptional partners, not to mention exceedingly conservative. Why Trump is seeking to make them an adversary is beyond me.
Ethnic cleansing…More labour government shite in uk....or England to be accurate.....countryside is too white...
How bout this???
What about a "?" emoji for when you are confused or don't understandI've always thought a face palm and vomit emoji would be highly useful.
Have to be careful with that one. With some of these posts, we'd end up with a page and a half of "?"What about a "?" emoji for when you are confused or don't understand
