The U.S. military needs new messaging technology that’s ultra-secure and self-destructs. Sound familiar? Think SnapChat.

Recent terror attacks in Paris and Brussels have sadly shown the mistakes and sometimes the lack of cooperation of security services. Indeed, the November attacks in Paris were planned by a Brussels-based cell that was likely to be piloted by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) leaders in […]

Veterans in Florida say they’re disgusted that someone apparently stormed a war memorial in Gainesville and smashed some of it to pieces over the weekend. “It’s sickening. Nobody should want to do something like that,” Korean War veteran Eddie Thomas told Fox 35. “Why destroy something for somebody that gave their lives?” The monument, part […]

The aircraft sank to the lake bottom, where it would remain for half a century. By the time the National Museum of the […]
