Maybe actual veterans should have a say in how we name Veterans's Day.

We are literally passed the figurative analogy of letting people fly commercial jets based solely on their "own research."

Can confirm. 14,000 steps a day is my baseline. That's an inactive day.

Everyone points and laughs at Russia for grabbing every vehicle they could get to their hands on and sending it to the front (rightfully so). Why aren’t we laughing at the United States (ourselves) for letting vehicles explicitly designed to fight Russians collect dust in storage?

Team Bluesky, please consider donating to my sister in law's classroom. More than ever, public school teachers need our support. Especially in Florida. She is on the front lines and is a real one. Thank you. Will you consider donating? raise.snap.app/donate/the-h...

In a nation with more guns than people. Jarred awake by the door crashing? Reach for your personal weapon by your bedside? No one in your bedroom survives. Lock up your guns, you will statistically be much safer.

Reminds me of how we did this shit every night in Iraq and Afghanistan and somehow managed to feign surprise when all we got was an insurgency. When the GWOT comes home and gets outsourced to the has-beens and never-was.

I continue to think that “revealing in great detail how many powerful, rich, and famous people are lazy idiots” constitutes one of the most crucial societal impacts of the rise of social media

With the late John Phelps at DIILS. The last time I saw him. Rest in peace.

First met John Phelps when I was a captain and we served together at NATO AF South. We got a chance to cross paths again when I was an adjunct instruction for international students in Newport. A tremendous loss. www.oneillhayes.com/obituaries/J...

Career civil servants out there scraping to pay the bills but also making sure they don't accept even a cup of coffee so as to avoid possible conflicts of interest and then you have this guy. I will vote for anyone who promises to throw the book at him.

Oh look. The Stryker part II. For the young ones out there, the Stryker, born out of the 1999 Kosovo response, was always envisioned to be a lightly armored troop carrier that could fit in a C-130 for rapid contingencies.

I think we are about to see things we have never seen before. It's either 3D chess victory or catastrophe, but I doubt it will be anything in the middle.

This is a very good example of excellent journalism. Work to get information, work to verify it, tell a story with the verified information.

In my experience of nearly three decades, when units/leaders lack direction, professional/tactical competence, or a real mission/sense of purpose, they hyper focus on PT.

Every Sunday while an exchange officer at the Italian war college I would go by St. Peter's and listen to Pope Francis' angelus--a short prayer with a short sermon. Was there when he emotionally called terrorists blasphemous. A great human being.

Pope Francis was a master of making emotional connections. He was, at heart, a pastor to wounded souls. Here are some of the most memorable moments of Pope Francis' papacy.

Brilliant. And I needed a laugh right about now.
