Ops Brief 008: Daily Drop - 13 March 2025 (Budget Nightmares, Lower Standards & China Flexing)

Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we don’t sugarcoat military dysfunction. Today’s Daily Drop covers the latest budget failures, softening standards, and why China is laughing at us. 💥 The Pentagon still can’t figure out funding—because training and readiness are apparently optional. 💥 Lower fitness standards? Because a ‘lethal force’ should probably be in shape. 💥 China running live-fire drills near Australia—casual flex or testing the waters? 💥 Space Force wants ‘exotic orbits’ to dodge Chinese surveillance—sounds cool, but will it work? 💥 The Air Force still fighting to stay relevant—Next Gen fighters? Air tankers? Who needs those? Congress can’t pass a budget, leadership is making excuses, and meanwhile, our adversaries are getting stronger. But hey, at least we still have E9s failing PT tests. 💥 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the military is actually ready for the next fight. 💀 Hate it?
