George Latimer, Calley’s main lawyer, cited Nuremberg in…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadLife has a way of drifting off course in small steps. One day, everything feels normal. The next day, you’re thinking about current events, wondering why the world feels like it’s out of alignment. It’s rarely one big event. It’s the accumulation of little disruptions that stack up until things feel off. This is where routine can become not only a force multiplier, but in the right (or wrong) circumstances, a quiet lifesaver. I’m talking about the kind of personal routine, a simple rhythm that helps keep you on track when the rest of…

How could America lose the Vietnam War?Even now, 50 years after the last American helicopters left Saigon, the answer is elusive. Despite pouring immense resources into Vietnam — including nearly 3 million military personnel, and suffering 58,000 dead — the world’s most powerful nation was unable to defeat an enemy that seemed hopelessly inferior in military power. Accusations still fly at a long list of alleged culprits: “pinkos,” war hawks, hippies, the China Lobby, Jane Fonda, John Wayne, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. But can a tabletop wargame — that began life as a college student’s project — offer insight?“Vietnam…
While Florida is sometimes derisively referred to as the “Gunshine State,” make no mistake, some lawmakers in the state legislature are vehemently anti-gun. A bevy of both pro-gun and anti-gun bills introduced in the legislature so far this fall proves that point quite well. On one end of the spectrum, some Democratic lawmakers want to ban so-called “assault weapons” and firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Pro-gun lawmakers are against both proposals. On the other side, some Republican lawmakers want to lower the age for Floridians to purchase firearms from 21 to 18 for all types…
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Tennessee National Guard will keep supporting a crime-fighting task force ordered by President Donald Trump in Memphis after a judge blocked the troops from operating in the city, but she kept the ruling paused while the state appeals, Gov. Bill Lee’s office said Tuesday.Davidson County Chancellor Patricia Head Moskal issued the order Monday as part of a lawsuit filed by Democratic state and local officials who contend that the Republican governor cannot deploy the Tennessee National Guard for civil unrest unless there is rebellion or invasion. Even then, they argue, it would require a request by…

The world of the Glock clone seems to be rapidly growing. Everyone has a Gen 3 clone these days, much to the chagrin of Everytown for Gun Safety and their quest to make machine guns possessed by criminals double-plus illegal. TriStar, a company primarily known for importing Turkish shotguns, is now getting into the Turkish handgun game with the APOC. The APOC is one of two new handguns from TriStar I’ve been burned by Turkish shotguns in the past, but my experiences with a few Girsans have shown me that their handguns seem to be okay. My experience is limited,…
New Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach on Tuesday pledged to focus on modernizing the service’s fleet, improving the readiness of both its aircraft and airmen and strengthening how well it works with other services and allies.“Being able to deliver [airpower] when called upon demands a constant focus on readiness,” Wilsbach said during the assumption of responsibilities ceremony at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “Airmen or aircraft that are not ready to fight undermines our ability to win. Restoring reliability across all aspects of our force, from trained combat formations to better aircraft availability, is vital.”The Senate confirmed…
