This week on the Carry On Podcast, Brad breaks down a hard truth: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was designed to prevent another Vietnam. Instead, it became a manual for executive maneuvering. From Lebanon to Kosovo… From Iraq to Libya… From ISIS to Iran… Presidents of both parties have learned how to: • Avoid the word “hostilities” • Stretch old authorizations • Convert funding into consent • Use coalition cover • Pause conflicts to stop the clock • Classify the threat and move anyway This episode walks through 50 years of precedent and explains how constitutional war-making quietly drifted into permanent discretionary force. We also examine: • Russia’s co-orbital anti-satellite maneuvering • The gray-zone fight in space • And the Marine Corps’ new powered paraglider capability — a strange but smart adaptation for contested littoral warfare This isn’t partisan. It’s institutional. If war powers matter — this conversation matters. Stay informed. Stay grounded. Stay frosty. #CarryOnPodcast #WarPowersAct #USMilitary #NationalSecurity #Congress #Deterrence #Strategy

Congress Buried This Israel Defense Bill... Here's Why It Matters - SITREP

Congress, Israel, NDAA 2027, Iran, Trump, Strait of Hormuz, Middle East, Military Analysis, Geopolitics In this week's Carry On Podcast SITREP, Brad "Iceman" Colbert breaks down one of the biggest defense stories almost nobody is talking about. Congress quietly prevented a public vote on the proposed U.S.–Israel Defense Technology Initiative inside the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). What does the legislation actually do? Why was the amendment blocked? And what could it mean for America's military, defense industry, and long-term strategic independence? Brad also examines the rapidly changing situation in the Middle East, including: * The latest U.S. and Iran escalation * The Strait of Hormuz and global shipping risks * The future of Iran's leadership after Khamenei * The breakdown of ceasefire negotiations * Israel's strategic objectives * Why military escalation and diplomacy are colliding * The new Kraken unmanned surface vessel and why it matters for future naval warfare This episode delivers a fact-based military and geopolitical analysis without partisan talking points, focusing on strategy, military capability, national security, and global stability.

Generation Kill's Brad Colbert: Congress Just Challenged Trump Over Iran

Brad Colbert, Generation Kill, Iran News, Trump, War Powers Act, Middle East Conflict, Military Analysis, Geopolitics Congress vs President, Strait of Hormuz, Iran Conflict, U.S. Military, National Security, Marine Corps, Carry On Podcast Support the mission and get exclusive content on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert [https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert] Generation Kill's Brad "Iceman" Colbert breaks down the week's biggest military, geopolitical, and national security stories with strategic analysis drawn from decades of combat experience as a U.S. Marine Recon veteran. This week on the Carry On Podcast SITREP, Brad examines Congress' historic challenge to presidential war powers as tensions with Iran continue to escalate. From the constitutional battle in Washington to the Strait of Hormuz, this episode explores how politics, military strategy, and deterrence are colliding in real time. In this episode: • Congress votes to challenge presidential war powers over Iran • What the War Powers Resolution actually means for future conflicts • The latest U.S.–Iran negotiations and the dispute over frozen Iranian assets • Iran's strategy in the Strait of Hormuz and the growing maritime crisis • How the IRGC tests American deterrence through gray-zone warfare • Why CENTCOM, U.S. allies, and global shipping remain on high alert • How this vote could influence future conflicts involving China, Russia, North Korea, and other global flashpoints • The remarkable story of Marine Major James Capers Jr. finally receiving the Medal of Honor nearly 60 years after his heroic actions in Vietnam. The battlefield isn't just in the Middle East. It's in Congress. It's in international law. It's in maritime trade routes. And it's in the political will of nations deciding whether deterrence still works.
