This story, “The Ghost of Shelby Forest,” appeared in the May 1971 issue of Outdoor Life. I had been sitting in my tree stand 15 feet above the ground for nearly two hours, but it seemed like two weeks.

The light was improving a little…

For Marines who have toiled over assembling airfields in austere environments, relief may be on the way. The Marine Corps wants to develop robots that can do the grunt work of laying down the matting used to quickly construct Expeditionary Airfields, or EAF, in amphibious beachheads and other remote locations. “Currently, assembling EAF matting is a manual process carried out by Marines — a task that is physically demanding, labor-intensive and exposes personnel to potential hazards,” explained the Small Business Innovation Research proposal, which has a deadline of June 3. The project, titled “Automated Expeditionary Airfield Assembly,” calls for robots…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced initiatives targeting SSRI antidepressants, which 16.6% of U.S. adults currently take. The plan emphasizes informed consent, tapering protocols, and non-pharmaceutical alternatives like psychotherapy and nutrition. Nearly half of Americans oppose federal restrictions on antidepressant prescribing, according to a 2025 survey of 30,000 adults. An FDA panel debated adding “black box” warnings for antidepressant use during pregnancy, citing potential fetal risks.

During a conference call with reporters, Sebastian Gorka, Trump’s senior director for counterterrorism, declined to discuss classified details of the initiative but outlined its central objective as systemically eroding each group’s infrastructure. The plan includes identifying their networks; severing their access to weapons, financing and recruitment capabilities; and dismantling their operational…

For military spouses, that service involved a lifetime of sacrifices: frequent moves that reset careers, years of underemployment and the inability to vest in their own retirement. When a tragedy occurs, the benefits provided to the surviving spouse are not a gift; they are an earned benefit and recognition of that collective sacrifice.This isn’t abstract to me — it’s the life I was raised in.Both of my parents served — my father in the Army, my mother in the Air Force. My mom made the difficult…

FORT STEWART, Ga. — A futuristic whirr from the skies cut through the quiet of an unusually cool Georgia afternoon.In stationary concentration, a soldier moved only his fingers as he steered a small device through plastic pipes arranged into a makeshift obstacle course built to qualify soldiers on a tool that has quickly changed the course of modern warfare: drones. Unmanned aircraft shape nearly every part of the battlefields today, from reconnaissance and artillery spotting to precision strikes and surveillance.As the U.S. Army moves to integrate drones into each formation, units across the force are figuring out how to teach,…
