In 2020, Maj. Walter Haynes wrote “Will the Military Become Just Another Politicized Institution?” where he argued the importance of civic education and its role in troop cohesion. In the wake of continued questions over the role of the military in civil society and declining public trust, we invited Maj. Haynes to reflect back on his article.

Miller) In your 2020 article, “Will the Military Become Just Another Politicized Institution?” you argue that military leaders should educate their ranks about civil issues.

The man reported to be the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day was a Green Beret soldier, Army officials confirmed Thursday.

The term “dual-use” is something of a lightning rod in the startup world, sparking debates about its meaning and usefulness. In these virtual pages, Jake Chapman wrote that “reliance on dual-use technology is a trap,” arguing that timing issues, intellectual property controls, and commercial interests undermine the essential prioritization of defense needs. Others have worried that categorizing projects as dual-use excludes them from a range of funding sources or banking services.

As 2024 drew to a close, news outlets reported that a military appeals court has rejected the SECDEF’s request to throw out the plea deals granted to three of the masterminds of the 9/11 attack. After the plea deals were announced during the summer of 2024, SECDEF Lloyd Austin announced he was nullifying the order for the plea deal. A military judge agreed with the defense attorneys that SECDEF Austin lacked authority/standing to throw out the plea deals. This led to the defense department going to an appeals court to overturn the plea deals.

How to Make Sense of the War in Ukraine: A Chronology of Key Events and Decisions.
We are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in an undeclared war with Russia. A war that doesn’t make sense to any of its participants. A war that we the people did not vote for and never wanted. Yet, the war goes on regardless.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, whom the FBI has identified as the suspect who allegedly killed at least 15 people in New Orleans on Wednesday, served in the Army from March 2007 to July 2020 after briefly enlisting in the Navy’s delayed entry program, defense officials told Task & Purpose.
 “Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar was in the regular Army as a Human Resource Specialist (42A) and Information Technology (IT) Specialist (25B) from March 2007 until January 2015 and then in the Army Reserve as an IT Specialist (25B) from January 2015 until July 2020,” a defense official said.

Shamsud Din Jabbar, the man who killed at least 15 and injured dozens more in New Orleans during New Year’s celebrations, was a former U.S. Army Reserve employee. It is not clear if he was a military member, civilian employee, or contractor.
His resume shows him employed as a ‘Computer Information Specialist’ at U.S. Army Reserve.
There is a video on the internet where Jabbar says he traveled and worked for the Army for ten years as an HR specialist.

The Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals has overturned a felony conviction against retired Marine Gunnery Sgts. Daniel Draher and Joshua Negron of the “MARSOC 3,” finding that a senior Marine lawyer had illegally interfered in the case.
Negron, Draher, and Chief Petty Officer Eric Gilmet, a Navy corpsman — whom supporters refer to collectively as the “MARSOC 3” — were deployed to Iraq with the 3rd Marine Raider Battalion when they got into a fight with former Green Beret Rick Anthony on Jan. 1, 2019 outside a bar in Erbil.

The Army was promised jetpacks. At least briefly. From the end of World War II to well into the 1950s, U.S. Army experiments kept pushing the idea of giving soldiers limited flight, as a way to make infantry more mobile and more effective on the battlefield.
The idea of a jetpack — a human-sized portable rocket pack meant to propel the wearer off the ground for short or prolonged flight — dated back to the 1910s when a Russian inventor proposed it. The idea stuck around and in the late 1950s the U.S. Army began commissioning proposals and studies into developing it for soldiers.

When President-Elect Donald Trump assumes office in January 2025, he should explore the process to rescind the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) that was awarded by President Biden for American military units in Kabul 2021. The award was undeserved. An explanation is in order.
On 26 February 1942, Executive Order 9075 established the Distinguished Unit Citation for outstanding performance of duty (at the unit level) after 7 December 1941. Later, in 1966, it was renamed the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC).
