Tooned: Chill dude, they’re just fireworks

This Independence Day many of us will be surrounding ourselves with family and friends while we BBQ and blow stuff up. As a veteran, it’s important to me that we enjoy this day with all we’ve got because it’s exactly what we served for and is a celebration of the American way of life. Now, […]

It has recently been confirmed that 126 different military bases have water sources that are contaminated by perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) and apparently have been for some time.

Stay tooned: Billy Mitchell’s ghost and the naysayers

If you’re like me, then the guy in the picture saying, “Who’s Billy Mitchell?” is you. Well I looked up William “Billy” Mitchell, he was a Brigadier General in the Army and is considered the “father of the Air Force.” He was court-martialed for insubordination when he got mad at the top brass for buying […]

(You can read the first part here) (Dedication of this article is intended for brother Mike G.) Caveat: for the sake of brevity and clarity, the Ottoman Empire will largely be referred to by its modern-day name, Turkey.

Amid all its upgrades and advances, the US Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is lacking one feature: urinals.

Military transgender ban: Is serving in the military a right or a privilege?

Former British SAS Operator’s take on ‘How the West was lost’

Too little too late, shutting the gate after the horse has bolted and told you so, are all things I’ve heard being said about the latest terror attacks in London not two weeks since ISIS TARGETED AND KILLED CHILDREN in Manchester.
