Ops Brief 018: Daily Drop - 31 March 2025 (Gen Hayden Doesn’t Know What ‘Top Secret’ Means)

Send us a text Welcome to your March 31st Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down the military’s biggest headlines with the subtlety of a frag grenade. In today’s rundown: Japan’s military just hit four-star status, the VA is paying people to ghost their jobs until September, and the Air Force is dangerously close to reenacting Final Destination with a T-38 and a Delta jet. But the real MVP? Retired General Michael Hayden, who apparently thinks a public Signal chat is “top secret.” Bless his heart. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 💥 Japan Grows Up – Four-star command equals serious Indo-Pacific intent. 💥 VA Pulls a Quiet Quitting Flex – Paid leave ‘til September? Must be nice. 💥 Hayden Hits the Panic Button – PSA: Signal messages ≠ TS/SCI. 💥 Austin Brings His Wife to Work – Everyone’s mad. No one knows why. 💥 F-47 Coming Fast – 36–40 months sounds like fantasy football. 💥 Air Force’s Near Miss – T-38 almost plays tag with a Delta jet. 💥 Space Force Wants Smoke – Satellite dogfights are no longer sci-fi. 💥 Iran Gets a Show of Force – B-2s make great conversation starters. 💥 Hiring Freeze Blues – No one’s replacing the people who dipped. Say the word if you want a new thumbnail prompt for this version—no flaming buildings this time, scout’s honor.
