The forced mobilization in Ukraine seems to have hit desperate levels as bounty hunters are filmed trying to ‘draft’ a dwarf. Onlookers make them stop.

 The commander of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mason was relieved of duty today, Naval Surface Force Atlantic announced.
Capt. Chavius G. Lewis was removed from his post on the ship “due to a loss of confidence in Lewis’ ability to command,” the Navy said. He’s been reassigned to Naval Surface Group Southeast, and the Navy said his removal from the ship does not impact the Mason’s mission.
“The Navy maintains the highest standards for leaders and holds them accountable when those standards are not met,” the Navy said in its statement.

nothing like a normal day at sea

Everyone who has been to sea has this nightmare.

A U.S. warship and a Navy supply vessel collided during refueling Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Southern Command told Reuters in an emailed statement on Thursday.
The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply collided during a replenishment at sea, said the statement from the Southern Command, whose areas of responsibility include Central and South America and the Caribbean. It did not specify the location of the collision.

If you thought the most dangerous parts of “Top Gun: Maverick” were the MiGs, just wait until you meet the lawyers.
Whilst we wait for updates on the third installment of “Top Gun” (a story that screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie has called “in the bag”), let’s do a little catching up on the lawsuits filed against the gangbuster “Top Gun: Maverick. “

After pulling off a major open-ocean rescue hundreds of miles off the coast of Mexico’s Baja California, two U.S. Air Force helicopters landed at a Mexican airport last week on the mission’s return leg. But as the Arizona-based crews rested and slept after a grueling 12 hours of flying, a wave of online rumors and misinformation erupted around their arrival.
By morning, the Mexican defense department had issued a statement clarifying that the U.S. airmen were just passing through.

In January 2026, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. His message was clear: “Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.”
From a military and national defense point-of-view, the declaration might catch the War Department’s attention. But it’s really the Department of Education that should be paying attention. If a viewer stopped viewing after that first sentence, they missed a whole lot of important nuance.

There’s a scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” where George Bailey sits in a bar. He’s struggling, at the end of his rope. He prays for help and begins crying. It’s one of the most emotional scenes in film history and makes us all ugly-cry every Christmas.
What some people may not realize is that actor Jimmy Stewart, who plays Bailey in the movie, was really crying.
He was on a Hollywood soundstage, in front of a crew of hundreds, really pouring his heart out. Crying wasn’t even in the script.

The Marine Corps is steadily growing its arsenal of long-range weapons with a Pacific fight in mind. On Jan. 30, the service selected a “launched effect” from L3Harris called Red Wolf that can be deployed from AH-1Z Viper helicopters and hit a target over 230 miles away. 
Put another way, Marine attack helicopters will soon be able to reach out and touch something 3,373 football fields away (with a missile).
This gives Marines, who continue to push forward with Force Design 2030, the ability to conduct over-the-horizon strikes from Vipers and other vertical take-off platforms.
