The Weekly Break Out: Halloween edition 2026

We’re back this year with another spooky edition of The Weekly Break Out. “Mr. Skeleton” (aka Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta) welcomes three special guests — and Breaking Defense’s senior networks reporter, who again appears to have not gotten the memo — to talk about what’s keeping them up at night.

Adm. T. Hitchens joins us from Starfleet to discuss weapons in space; Scarecarley Welch is unsettled by a leadership vacuum atop the Army; Mark “Mark” Pomerleau lays out a few cyber conundrums; and Digger Rockwell explains what’s especially alarming about the Air Force’s nuclear weapons plans for the months to come.

If this episode wasn’t too scary for you, make sure to sign up for our newsletter to see what else we have up our sleeve. And Happy Halloween from the Breaking Defense team!
