Ops Brief 042: Daily Drop - 8 May 2025 (Audit Failures, AI Hallucinations & Border Cyber Strikes)

Send us a text

Welcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today’s menu: the DoD admits it probably won’t pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon’s cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?).

Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing drama gets messier, and SOCOM’s new aircraft is already asking for upgrades—less than a year in. Over in Space Force? They’re making a planetarium movie to convince you they’re not just a meme, while also quietly building a new orbital warfare “product line.” Oh, and North Korea? Still launching missiles. No big deal.
