Great Performance

For John, BLUF:  Peacetime practice leads to great operational execution.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Lloyd Austin gave us Kabul.

@PeteHegseth gave us Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

Consider the opsec in place, along with the rapid marshaling of assets to the region and the expert logistics demonstrated in this mission ... and tell me if anyone will be arguing that @SecDef is some kind of amateur in over his head after today.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.  But, it gives hope.

I think this performance may be due to what I call Middle Leadership Syndrome.$nbsp; This is where middle level leadership thinks they could have done a better job than the "political" military leadership under which they have served in the past.  Thus, there is strong motivation to provide an excellent military performance, rather than some politically correct outcome.
