This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  Have you noticed that virtually all of our major cities are poorly run?  I believe that the condition of our largest metropolitan areas is a warning.  If we don’t straighten up, the entire country will soon resemble our core urban areas.  Thankfully, there are millions of Americans who strongly support a return to “law and order”, but unfortunately, “law and order” is the opposite of what we are witnessing in our biggest urban areas right now.  In this article, I would like to check in…

The infantry MOS 11B previously filled that role, but troops with that specialty also had to split their time with dismounted duties outside of the vehicle.RELATEDThe 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, out of Fort Hood, Texas, was one of the first armored brigade combat teams, or ABCTs, to undergo the change.…

The INF Treaty banning ground-launched missiles with ranges of 500–5,500km collapsed in 2019 when the US withdrew, citing Russian violations. Moscow has denied the claims, accusing the US itself of developing banned missiles. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the collapse of this treaty will eat away at the already fragile…
