In recent years, we’ve witnessed the Arab Spring, the Syrian Civil War, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and an annexation of Crimea. Television news channels are nearly hysterical reporting about covert Russian influence campaigns in the United States. Think tanks and policy councils weigh in on these events and delivered a series of terms like […]

Col. Larry Perino, Col. Lee VanArsdale, and Command Sgt. Maj. Kyle Lamb recently sat down with the Modern War Institute at West Point to discuss the Battle of the Black Sea. They participated in Operation Gothic Serpent which the public is largely familiar with through the book and film “Black Hawk Down.” The interview contains […]

Despite the widespread use of photo- and video-capturing technologies in our modern world, there are still some sights that elude all but the most fortunate (or unfortunate) of us. Bigfoot remains nothing more than a brown blur no matter how many megapixels Apple crams into its new iPhones, and although we’re all certain that being […]

Although the B-2 Spirit may have entered American military service in the early 1990s, the nation’s fleet of deep penetration stealth bombers has managed to keep a great deal of its operations and equipment a secret despite the advent of the internet and America’s contemporary love affair with cell phone cameras.

His pursuers, intent on killing him, reach the now-broken window and open fire, giving the audience a spectacular view of bullets ripping through the water all around our protagonist. […]

In a world where the U.S. military employs massive cargo aircraft like the C-5 Super Galaxy, big is a word that can be attributed to a whole lot of airplanes. With an internal storage capacity that could feasibly transport not one, but two M1 Abrams battle tanks, the C-5 Super Galaxy is an engineering marvel. […]

My family recently made the move out of our little corner of the Georgia woods and into full-fledged civilization: neighbors close enough to see and interact with, roads made of pavement instead of dirt, and some sort of conspiratorial organization that operates in the shadows but seems to exert a great deal of influence over […]

A small contingent of U.S. forces that have operated out of Libya in support of operations against the Islamic State and al-Qaeda were evacuated on Sunday as the Libyan National Army (LNA) advanced toward the nation’s capital of Tripoli while engaging a number of rival militia groups tied to the nation’s recognized government.
