Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - Anybody who disagrees with Infantrydort needs to watch the end of the old black and white movie "Battleground."
The movie is about a platoon of paratroopers from the 101st fighting in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.
Amazing cast: Van Johnson, Ricardo Montalban, James Arness, James Whitmore, many more from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
And many of the cast actually served in WWII.
Anyway, at the end of the movie, the platoon has survived Bastogne, but with the loss of some of the men in their ranks. They are tired, hungry, wounded, dirty, unshaven, still frozen and some, including the platoon sergeant, can barely walk because of trenchfoot.
Having defeated the Germans, they finally get the order to march to the rear, and they start limping their way out at route march when they see fresh, clean troops marching towards them from the opposite direction.
Instantaneously, they get in step, head and shoulders held high, weapons tight at sling arms and loudly calling out a Jody.
These men had been through the most grueling combat imaginable, but drill and ceremony was still important to them to show their pride in themselves and their unit.
Anybody who says D&C is not essential to good order and discipline is an idiot.
(Link below to the scene I referenced.)

This guy says my view on drill and ceremony leading to overall proficiency is a “low quality take”.
D&C has always been a combat multiplier. It teaches:
Attention to detail
Synchronization
Discipline under command
Reaction time
Unit cohesion
But sure, whatever you say, “bro”.

Dan Bongino @FBIDDBongino - As we read and process reports of a new COVID strain emerging, I want you to know that we are actively investigating, in multiple field offices, the cover-up of the origin of the COVID virus, along with associated matters requiring our attention.
You deserve answers.

Danny Danon דנון @dannydanon - During a Security Council session, I exposed how the UN operates a system of extortion and threats against humanitarian organizations that cooperate with the U.S. aid mechanism in Gaza. This is mafia-like behavior and a flagrant violation of the UN’s core principles. The UN must put its ego aside and start cooperating with the new mechanism — not with Hamas.

Dept. of Agriculture @USDA - TRADE WIN!
@SecRollins has secured greater market access for American dairy producers, as Costa Rica has approved the first U.S. dairy facility registered under a new streamlined process.
This marks a major step in removing non-tariff trade barriers with more wins to come!
