Ops Brief 081: Daily Drop - 28 July 2025 - CV-22 Ospreys, Pizza Cats, and CMSAF Apology

Send us a text Strap in, because this “daily drop” is a full-throttle rollercoaster of Pentagon absurdity and global WTFs. From promoting a former Space Force whistleblower to Under Secretary of the Air Force, to blowing $200M on a border wall while ignoring busted pistols and flood victims—this episode doesn’t pull punches. Peaches goes off on political aircraft pork, war with China (spoiler: lots of body bags), and the Space Force’s asteroid defense ambitions. Oh, and yes, Pizza Cat is alive and well. You're welcome, internet. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Trump’s DEI guy now runs the Air Force—what could go wrong? War with China = body bags, busted recovery plans, and a whole lotta regrets The Osprey: still flying, still garbage, still political Pentagon “loses track” of where parts come from—good luck with that war prep Sig M18 pistols might shoot you without pulling the trigger Border wall now paid for with Guam construction funds (because priorities) Space Force vs NASA: who gets to shoot asteroids? Pizza Cat lives! Probably the most functional thing in CENTCOM Think tanks banned—because Aspen is just too “globalist” The B-21 is almost here… unless Congress breaks it first ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Taste of Gains: Gummies & Gains 01:10 – Matthew Lomar confirmed: Trump’s DEI pick 02:30 – Talisman Sabre goes beast mode 03:40 – Drone swarms?
