Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperialist podcast that your uncle might actually tolerate because we are talking about military stuff in a way that is digestible to people with no experience.

Understanding military operations in the late stage of this empire is crucial for the informed citizen.

Yes, it is another operational breakdown segment.

We're going to be discussing the U.S. Navy versus the Houthis,

why the U.S. strategy won't work and hasn't worked in the past,

and we'll start with the massive operational security debacle that is called Signalgate.

And what we can learn from it.

Yes, Pete Hegsteth, our stalwart secretary of defense, is a complete idiot.

We're also going to be talking about how the U.S. just deployed a wing of U.S. stealth bombers

to Diego Garcia Air Base in the Indian Ocean.

Escalation or show of force.

I've been getting blown up all day because it's starting to get all over the news

that we're sending nuclear-capable stealth bombers out into a place in striking distance of Iran.

We'll get to that all in this episode.

I'm your host, Greg Stoker, former U.S. Army Ranger with practical experience and targeted

strike operations. And we are joined here by regular contributors, Travis, former field grade

artillery officer, and Jason from generational news, a former air defense artillery officer. And we're

here to explain to you in detail why all of this is so absurd.

Thanks for coming on, guys.

Glad to be here.

Yeah, thank you.

All right.
