We have to innovate and think differently to beat the Chinese
President Trump has made it clear that America will go to the Sea in Ships again. The greatest economic might in the world should have the greatest presence on the world’s rivers, coasts, and oceans. Right now, America is the largest economy in the world. Yet, it has the smallest oceanic presence in merchant ships, and the U.S. Navy is withering in the face of a hyper-accelerating Chinese Naval growth.
An Army trainee assigned to Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment died while undergoing basic combat training this past week at Fort Jackson, the Army announced Sunday.
The soldier was “found deceased during training” on Thursday, April 24, according to an Army release. The soldier was not immediately identified, citing Army policy to withhold the name of the deceased until the Army Casualty Assistance Office notifies the next of kin. The Army’s notice also did not say if the death was under investigation.

Two years ago, I represented the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab at the Defense Innovation Unit summit in Warsaw. A Ukrainian commander there poked me in the chest and said, “Stop sending us your American drones. They’re shit.

On a chilly morning in November 1911, Lt. Giulio Gavotti, an Italian pilot, leaned out from the cockpit of his monoplane over the oases and farmlands of modern-day Libya and tossed four small grenades onto an encampment of Ottoman soldiers. Widely covered in the international press, the bombardment was ultimately ineffective and caused no casualties.
The mid-air collision involving a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter and a civilian airliner earlier this year, which killed scores of passengers and crew above the nation’s capital, has been shrouded in mystery as to the cause of the deadly crash.
However, the New York Times just published an article on the incident, with evidence from cockpit and air traffic control recordings, which seems to validate the one possibility the article refuses to address — that the crash was intentional by the U.S. Army pilot.
