In today’s Daily Drop, Jared pulls no punches while breaking down the latest military circus—from AFN killing off its podcasts (wait, they had podcasts?) to the Air Force Academy gutting its own rocket science faculty because “budget.” And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder: Space Force is dropping a documentary… and no, it’s not sci-fi.

We’ve got F-35 inventory fraud ($11 billion missing? Casual.), Travis AFB potentially doubling as an immigration detention center (because why not?), and the Air Force cutting family days because “readiness.” Oh, and the Pentagon still can’t pass an audit. But sure, let’s launch more documentaries instead of fixing jets.

Tune in for a raw, snarky breakdown of the memo that hits generals’ inboxes but never gets real talk—until now. And yeah, you’re gonna want to sit down for this one.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • 💥 12,000 civilian jobs cut in the Air Force = “readiness” nightmare.
  • 🛩️ $11 billion in F-35 inventory fraud… and they just noticed.
  • 🏗️ Travis AFB might house immigrants now. Totally normal.
  • 🎧 AFN kills podcasts nobody knew existed.
  • 🤦‍♂️ Air Force Academy slashes rocket science professors, but keeps the PR machine alive.
  • 🚀 Space Force documentary “Always Above” premieres… for who exactly?
  • 💰 Pentagon audit? LOL. Still failing.
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Family days axed “for lethality.” Because tired airmen = lethal airmen?
