*Charlie Gao* *Security, * A legend. While the Sig Sauer P226 is used by many militaries and agencies worldwide, one of the most famous users of the pistol is the U.S. Navy SEALs, which used the P226 up until they switched to the Glock 19 around 2015.

Extra Credit For Being From A Good Family-- And For Non-Traditional Rape
What does "from a good family" mean? White and well-off? Religious? And what does it mean to say a politicians is "too old?" And what does it mean when you put those things together.

*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * You'll never guess. *The aircraft that appears in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is clearly based on early 1990s-era Lockheed Martin concepts for the Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter and the later A/F-X—both of which were based on the YF-22 demonstrator aircraft that eventually became the F-22 Raptor.* President Donald Trump last year told reporters that the United States had delivered the F-52 to Norway.

Making Sense of The MeK
*Ilan Berman* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Quite simply, the MeK believes that, after forty years of active resistance, it has more “skin in the game” than any other personality or faction in the struggle against the Islamic Republic. To its supporters, it is the most organized and disciplined alternative to the current clerical regime in Tehran, and the only one that is truly capable of establishing a democratic, secular Iran. To its detractors, it represents a fringe element that promotes an unpopular, unworkable vision of Iran’s future. Even by the notoriously fra... more »

Philosophy & Plagiarism
It is usually the philosophers who have never had an original idea in their lifetime who like to shout from rooftops that their philosophy is completely original and is better than every other past or present philosophy. They plagiarize from hundred different resources, never give credit to any past philosopher, and then proclaim that they have created an original system of philosophy. In any case, the idea of original philosophy is nonsensical. Philosophy does not proceed by virtue of original ideas, but by the virtue of "original arguments." If your arguments are not good, and you... more »
