The only movies that I’ve seen that portrayed military food as absolutely awful were films about the American Civil War. OK, MASH too, in both the TV show and movie.

Ricardo and I stood under the barracks’ overhang, chain-smoking those god-awful Colombian cigs and watching chaos unfold like it was just another Tuesday, all while humming ‘Going back to Cali’ like we were extras in some black comedy war flick.

The Navy’s leap into carrier-based drones like the MQ-25 Stingray isn’t just about extending refueling range—it’s paving the way for a whole new era of unmanned air support, where autonomous CCAs operate as force-multiplying wingmen alongside advanced stealth fighters in contested skies.

Stuck in the sweltering jungle with a bunch of half-trained ‘elite’ commandos and a colonel who’d rather sit on intelligence than use it, we were babysitters at best, warriors in waiting—waiting for something to finally break loose.

Forgive me for not using the word “gun” in the title of this piece. From day one in the Army, we were taught never to refer to the small arms we carried as guns. But, of course, most recruits didn’t know any better until an instructor was up their face yelling about it.

New reports reveal gaps in Navy SEAL training safety—time to rethink drug policies, sleep deprivation, and medical care.

The Pararescuemen’s green footprints may have started as a drunken dare in a dingy tattoo parlor near the Mekong, but they’ve become an enduring symbol of PJ grit, pride, and valor that spans battlefields from Southeast Asia to the War on Terror.

The Pentagon’s ambitious Replicator program is fast-tracking swarms of low-cost, AI-powered drones to overwhelm enemy defenses across land, sea, and air, bringing a new era of unmanned warfare to the battlefield.

The flag may appear backward to some, but on our sleeves, it charges forward, a constant reminder that we carry the spirit of progress and resolve into every battle we face.

Before “Gyatt” was Gen Z slang, it was a game-changing missile destroyer. Meet the USS Gyatt, the Navy’s original trendsetter.

Military retirees get a 2.5 percent COLA bump in 2025—lowest since pre-pandemic. What’s behind the smaller increase?

The Su-25 might lack the A-10’s iconic status and titanium resilience, but it’s still a rugged, combat-tested workhorse that has proven its worth in conflicts from Afghanistan to Ukraine.
