I had three years with the Navy and USMC in a multi-service capacity and am a graduate of the USMC Command and Staff college, but will only comment from an Army perspective. 1. Logistics doctrine in the Gulf War should have been known prior to deployment of shortcomings and possible...

Also known as the Alaska state bird.

Hot sauce saved MREs - there's a little bottle in every pouch.

Dad carried one in Korea.

Agree with all of the above. Here is an overarching issue: Even after the geotagging with cell phones in Iraq and Afghanistan in the aughts and the tens, one would think that the leadership would put the brakes on cell phones while deployed. This has happened at forward Army bases as well. I...

There is a Tiger turret at the 12th Armored Division museum in Abilene, TX if you're so inclined.

A22 also.

Yup, you are correct. Since then, no one has heard of what was or not doing until now.

Geez, Cristen, get some paint thinner and tone it down a little.

The Iraqis gave up to Apache attack helos in 1991.

As someone who has been on the receiving end of Iranian made rockets, I vehemently disagree. The mistake was not taking care of business in 1979, and when we attempted something, it was on a shoestring. Someone now makes up for 40 years of neglect and gets scorn from Euros and our own people...

I enjoy watching Dr. Bernardo. He can get to the heart of the matter succinctly. Here is his take on this. He has several videos out discussing other illnesses.

My only issue with the adoption of these rifles is if it's good enough for SOCOM, they should be good enough for our line infantrymen. I've always maintained that the difference between SOF and other combat units in addition to specialized training is that SOF has an unlimited credit card...

Taylor Farms in California actually. They have supplied salad and vegetable kits in our stores here for years.
