Ones Ready Ops Brief 087: Daily Drop - 12 Aug 2025 - Washington’s on Fire & Cyber Ninjas are Scary
Peaches kicks off this drop swinging at everything from the chaos in D.C. to the ridiculous idea that military academies ever needed race-based admissions. National Guard troops are back in the capital because apparently it’s become Mad Max with monuments. Cyber interns get a salute for their terrifyingly cool hacking skills, a World War I badass gets long-overdue recognition, and Space Force is about to light off the Vulcan rocket like it’s the Fourth of July. There’s also some sharp-shooting at West Point, desert fun with the Marines, and a not-so-subtle reminder that your enemy doesn’t give a damn about your DEI training—they just want you dead. Strap in.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- National Guard called in to clean up D.C.’s mess.
- Cyber interns casually flexing national security superpowers.
- Medal of Honor reminder: ordinary people can be extraordinary.
- Space Force’s Vulcan rocket ready for its first real mission.
- Affirmative action at military academies—now officially dead.
- West Point cadets get trigger time with the Army’s best.
- Marines still doing Marine things in the desert.
