The more I hear about the upcoming Jimmy Stewart film, the more excited I get—and the soundtrack announcement is no exception. 
A little recap for you if this is news: The star of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” James “Jimmy” Stewart, traded in his Academy Award for an Army Air Corps uniform, flying 20 combat missions in a B-24 during World War II.
He survived the war and continued to serve in the Air Force Reserve. By the time his military service was complete, he was a brigadier general—but like so many veterans, combat and military service left him traumatized and desolate.

A dynamic has become clear in recent weeks: Ukraine is desperately in need of missile defense technology, with Russia stepping up ballistic missile attacks and reportedly planning a major winter offensive.

However, the United States is suffering from a munitions shortage of its own, and President Donald Trump has been vacillating on whether or not to supply Ukraine with Patriot missile licenses. At the same time, while deals have been reached to increase weapons production, the process is long and slow and won’t provide much help to Ukraine this winter.

When he saw a car being engulfed by flames, Senior Airman Dalton Clark did not hesitate to act. 
Assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing, Clark was driving in heavy traffic toward Hurlburt Field, Florida, last month when he first saw black smoke from the burning car. Then he saw that someone was inside the vehicle. The scene reminded Clark of his good friend, who was killed in a December 2025 car fire. 
“Honestly, that’s all I was thinking about in that moment,” Clark, 25, told Task & Purpose.

Lockheed Martin has launched Strigo, a modular suite of defence solutions intended to expedite the delivery of missile technology.

There have been growing reports in recent weeks that North Korea is stepping up its aid to Russia in the Ukraine war.

The Independent reported earlier this week that Ukraine is anticipating as many as 50,000 more North Korean soldiers heading to Russia, following earlier reports that North Korea had sent 16,000 personnel to the Kursk region.

Cameras fitted to Royal Navy surveillance drones used by British special forces have been secretly transmitting data to an internet address in China, according to an investigation published by The Daily Telegraph. The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed the incident, which was discovered during a routine cyber vulnerability assessment, and quietly removed internet connectivity from the affected systems.

For as long as she could, Genelle Guzman-McMillan followed orders to stay put.
Guzman-McMillan worked for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Its office was on the 64th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower. When terrorists smashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the tower on September 11, 2001, Guzman initially thought it was an earthquake.
