It seems like all new cars come with fancy touch screens that take up a sizeable amount of real estate on the dashboard. But what if you don’t own the latest and greatest? You’re stuck with the old-school single-DIN radio without a fancy large screen or infotainment system. That advanced smartphone in your pocket is useless when it comes to streaming your favorite music, getting step-by-step navigation directions, voice-to-text, or making calls.
What you need is a serious upgrade to the sound quality and stereo system in your vehicle.

Recently, I watched my car’s low tire pressure light come on (because it only ever comes on when I’m driving late at night, or other potentially creepy settings). While looking for a gas station that didn’t seem too sketchy, I thought to myself “I really should’ve ordered that 12-volt air compressor.” This is because I’d much rather fill up my tires in the safety and comfort of my own driveway than at some horror-movie-resembling gas station.

In January 2007, a group of Royal Marines threw together a crazy mission to rescue a wounded Marine trapped inside the compound. To get him back, four Marines strapped themselves to the outside of Apache helicopters and rode back into the compound.
The situation arose after an attack on Jugroom Fort went sour quickly. The Brits assaulted in armored vehicles with artillery and Apache support, but the insurgents returned a heavy volume of fire when the Marines dismounted.

If your power steering has ever gone out, you’ve likely been shocked to discover just how much more difficult it is to maneuver your vehicle in the right direction. Modern cars need their power steering systems — otherwise, you could find yourself struggling to get to the side of the road when your steering fails or locks up. However, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping your power steering continues to operate smoothly, you can use a power steering stop leaks fluid for a little peace of mind.

Forget what you read in the news, America is still the leader of freedom in the world. There’s no shortage of allies that have our back, either. Whether the President of the United States is Joe Biden, Donald Trump or Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, countries will still be lining up to be on the right side of history.
The latter might be here before the year 2505…
No matter what the obstacle or threat to freedom the world over, the United States can count on a slew of allies to have its back.

Though they’re often overlooked by military historians – not Native American historians, mind you – the Plains Wars of the post-Civil War era saw some of the most brutal fighting between the American government and the Native American tribes fighting for their way of life. Eventually, the U.S. government was determined to move the native people to reservations. Those who did not sell their land were moved by force.
The fighting on the Plains saw the Battle of Little Bighorn, the massacre at Wounded Knee, and the Sand Creek Massacre, just to name some of the bloodiest moments.

There’s no truer way to describe it: Life in the trenches of WWI was absolute hell. If an enemy bullet, artillery shell, or gas canister didn’t kill you, the cesspool of diseases that formed in the puddles at the bottom of the trenches surely would. To make matters worse, the damp, dingy, and dirty environment made for the perfect breeding ground for rats that would carry and spread deadly diseases.
Placing and maintaining rat traps was impractical in such an austere environment, so there was really only one way to deal with the infestation.

Only once in the history of the U.S. Navy was an aviator buried at sea inside his airplane. Loyce Edward Deen was so shot up by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, his shipmates decided to keep him forever in his TBM Avenger as they bid him fair winds and following seas.
Deen joined the Navy in 1942, less than a year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. His first combat duty station was on the USS Essex. He was injured in the 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf but instead of recovering on a hospital ship, he opted to stay with his crew, pilot Lt. Robert Cosgrove and radioman Digby Denzek.
