May 16’s Daily Drop is here, and it’s a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.

We’re talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can’t staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.

Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses.

Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🚫 Retention bonuses canceled with zero warning. Airmen left holding the bag
• 🚻 Transgender service members may face forced separation based on medical screenings
• 🧠 DoD schools are collapsing under the weight of student mental health issues
• 💣 New Sentinel ICBMs = new silos. The Cold War called, it wants its nukes back
• 🛰️ Golden Dome? Cool name. No funding
• 💸 The Air Force: Still broke, still over budget, still somehow buying jets
• 🧪 In-orbit refueling is neat, but launching new satellites might be cheaper
• 👮‍♂️ 600 Guard troops forcibly transferred to Space Force = political firestorm
• 🛰️ Space-based AMTI sensors might eventually let us ditch aging E-3s
• 🤯 Trump proposes an F-55 jet. Experts say, “Yeah… that's not how jets work”
• 💵 3.8% pay raise proposed. Junior enlisted already got theirs—kind of
• 🛬 FAA air traffic systems are collapsing like a bad Jenga tower
• 🇷🇺 Russia pokes Estonia. NATO blinks but tracks
• 🇨🇳 Taiwan tension is rising, again. Strategic clarity, anyone?
