Though relatively limited in their duration and destruction, Israel’s airstrikes on Syria last month were conspicuous for their rationale. This was no act of self-defense. It was, in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s telling, an act of protection: Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government, in power since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December, failed to protect the Druze from Sunni violence, compelling Israel to intervene on the minority’s behalf.

For those who’ve watched for a long time, especially over the last decade, our service academies and war colleges have drifted further toward academic leftist orthodoxy and away from their core competence as serious military organizations. The last eight months have been a whirlwind of change, as efforts are finally underway to refocus these institutions on their core competency.
The two most high-profile Navy centers of higher education (with the Naval Postgraduate School a close 3rd, sorry fellas) are the U.S.

Another B-1B was pulled from storage at AMARG and recalled back to duty to bring the BONE fleet back to 45 total Lancers.
B-1B Lancer 86-0115 “Rage” is one of the four bombers out of 17 the U.S. Air Force stored at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, and maintained “in a reclaimable condition” so that they could be regenerated if needed.
Two Italian Air Force F-35A fighters were scrambled from Amari Air Base in Estonia on August 13 under NATO’s Air Policing mission to intercept Russian fighters operating in the region, marking the first time Italian stealth fighters have been launched on an interception mission in the Baltic region. This occurred just a day after the Hungarian Air Force deployed Gripen C/D fighters for a similar operation. The Russian fighters in question were some of the oldest in the Russian Aerospace Forces’ inventory, including a Su-27 Flanker air superiority fighter, and a Su-24M strike fighter.
While they are aware of the cyber and operational security concerns swirling online, Pentagon leaders have assessed that Instagram’s new and controversial location tracking feature does not pose a major risk to the privacy and safety of U.S. military and Defense Department civilian personnel or their families at this time, according to a defense official.
Dubbed Instagram Map, the new function on the popular, Meta-owned social media platform enables users to see others’ live locations and movements in real time.
No matter what branch we served in in the U.S. military, there are a few things that are universal. All veterans have this innate need to show up 15 minutes early to everything. Many of us can still eat Thanksgiving dinner within two minutes (including dessert). Many veterans would also be lying if they aren’t a little proud of themselves when their pee is clear (if you know, you know).
Basic trainees in the Air Force are being issued “Stress Cards.” If basic training gets too hard or they need a time out, they can just pull these out, and the instructor has to stop yelling at them.
No joke. I heard it from my cousin. Or my friend John. My buddy swears he saw them being handed out to the new trainees. Kids today just don’t have the chutzpah my generation does. One time when I was a platoon leader in Somalia, this kid handed me one and asked for a time out, I kid you not.
None of that is true, of course.
