A great many of media reports have exposed a recent development in the military world, a develop that has many outraged. Because soldiers are being forced to repay their bonuses, with interest, that were awarded in wartime. The Pentagon is asking for its soldiers to repay them for wartime bonuses they originally gave. It’s unthinkable […]

The U.S. is soon to face a tectonic shift as senior federal employees are set to retire within the next new years. Who is going to replace them? It’ll be a mixture of new hires and government contractors who will go from wearing green badges to sporting blue badges. The real shake-up will be in […]

Russia’s cyber attacks against the United States have run their course. Their ultimate miscalculation might be in their attempt to influence U.S. politics.

Taking Mosul from the Islamic State is a critical event that must transpire.  Mosul is one of the Islamic State’s most important strongholds. If not done in the best way possible – this fight could drag on. For the Islamic State, they know they’re out-gunned and so, creating humanitarian crisis to test the will of the […]

My nickname was Ishmael for the first few months on a team. Being a new guy is an interesting experience and fun, just not for you. You’ve all heard it. FNG – “Fucking New Guy.” That was me; it was you and if it wasn’t it will be. It’s not fun but, it’s not the […]

The battle to retake Mosul is underway and is being led by mostly Shia forces to expel ISIS. In doing so, they’ll free Sunnis – who may not like it. The sectarian violence after the battle got out of control it would spread into Syria – and vice versa. Because – the reality is – […]

UNESCO confirms ISIL is partially funded by the sale of ancient Artifacts. These items, culturally significant, will enter the Black Market, robbing cultures of their own history.

The debate last night between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was entertaining for sure. But, it also contained a fair amount of substance. They debated issues, and they dove right in. Trump seemed surprisingly tame and not unhinged, and Hillary Clinton tried not to engage him. The debate had some good parts, as well as […]

Here is the statement from Dishonorable Disclosure for the video: “Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews, and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our […]

Trump shark is going to be out for blood. He’ll be at the debate to besmirch Hillary Clinton and to chew bubble gum. Trump doesn’t chew bubble gum at debates. I don’t even know what to expect from the debate this evening. I’m not sure if given the opportunity to read the script before hand […]
