Just found out we've lost three EOD Techs to suicide in the past three weeks. There is a 24/7 hotline for Techs, their friends and family at 1.888.412.0470 + the FB group After the Long Walk here: https://t.co/HeZJNMkdaS

Please reach out if you or someone you love needs help

At Ia Drang, he flew through enemy fire again and again to bring ammo in and carry the wounded out.

I spent five years working to report this story and now @Militarydotcom has removed my byline and the bylines of @KToropin and @patriciakime - this article went on to win an award from @Milreporters and allowed Boxer veterans exposed to receive VA compensation.

NEWS - Pentagon schools in Bahrain won’t reopen for new school year.

Update: Hegseth pulled nine officers off the Navy one-star list. The only three female and two of the three black male officers on the 22-person list.

Hegseth Strikes Female and Black Navy Officers From Promotion List. The result: a slate of 22 new one-star admiral nominees that bears little resemblance to the force these officers will help lead.
Of special note: The list has no women. w/ @katekelly

“For genuine strength and leadership to result,” Judge Seibel wrote, “cadets must be exposed to a variety of viewpoints and trained to think critically about them.”

“West Point cadets are already, by definition, smart, tough and patriotic,” the judge added. “They are not snowflakes who will somehow be harmed by learning about controversial issues or competing viewpoints. They will not somehow be weakened in their future defense of our country if their classroom discussions are robust and open.”

Nice chance to work in Japan for Stars and Stripes, the independent newspaper by and for the US military.

Job involves handling news copy; there's also opportunities for reporting.

Includes expat benefits for eligible candidates.

Fun fact, the crash at this airshow cost about $134 million dollars, or enough to fund the California diaper program the Washington Post was freaking out about for almost 7 years

If only there were a mathematical equation they could roughly predict the amount of pressure impacting you based on distance and size of detonation.

Alas, we may never know.

Adm. Cooper’s testimony suggested that he believed that the U.S. military’s record since Feb. 28 school strike had been near perfect.
“Ridiculous,” said human rights group that investigates civilian casualties.

Prior to publication of this story, CNN presented the CIA with extensive details of its reporting. The CIA declined to comment. After publication, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons released a statement to CNN saying, “This is false and salacious reporting that serves as nothing more than a PR campaign for the cartels and puts American lives at risk,” without specifying what aspect of the reporting is false.

"The collapse of the AK market shows how the buying habits of the country’s large community of firearms enthusiasts can be shaped by geopolitical forces." Nobody covers the firearms industry and gun culture in America as well as @Tmgneff does https://t.co/XftCNbZfpJ
