DEFEAT: 5 Times the U.S. Navy Lost Badly in Battle
*James Holmes* *Security, * Some sad history. *Sure, Continental seamen had their moments. John Paul Jones remains a folk hero to the U.S. Navy, interred beneath the Naval Academy chapel. Jones, furthermore, is celebrated in such oddball locales as the battleship Mikasa museum in Yokosuka, whose curators style him the equal of Lord Horatio Nelson and Admiral Heihachirō Tōgō, Japan’s greatest naval hero. But individual derring-do shouldn’t obscure the fact that the American colonies had to borrow a fleet, that of France, to prevail in the endgame at Yorktown—and thus achieve the... more »
The U.S. Army's 'New' M-1A2C Abrams Tanks Will Enter Service Soon. Check Them Out.
*David Axe* *Security, * The M-1A2C is the latest variant of Abrams to enter production. Congress in 2019 gave the Army $1.5 billion to buy 135 M-1s from General Dynamics, extending a program that began in the 1970s. The U.S. Army’s newest tank in the summer of 2019 should enter service with the first large unit to use the type. The Army in late 2017 accepted the very first M-1A2C Abrams tanks. Nearly two years later the service has enough of the new vehicles to equip an entire brigade. “We’re in the throes of getting that together,” Hank Kennedy, a manager at General Dynamics’... more »

Dangerous Things
There are a lot of things that are dangerous. Kitchen chemicals can make great improvised explosive devices, fertilizer can take down large buildings, the gas supply that cooks your food can demo your house, cars are dangerous, and firearms are no different. However in a world where harsh language is conflated with murder, and the murder of babies is politically correct, the seeming worst possible thing to do is to own a firearm. Since only .02% of all firearms are ever used in a crime, firearms as instrumentalities of violent crime can said to be 0. And 0 is a politically incorre... more »

Dear America, Please Don’t Forget Memorial Day’s Real Meaning
*Steven P. Bucci* *History, * When children ask, “Why is today a holiday?”, parents can explain. They can point to the names on those small town monuments, and say: “We are remembering them. They died for our freedom.” America has undergone a lot of maturing between the Vietnam War and the conflicts of the 21st century. I know, I wore a uniform during both periods. On Memorial Day, let’s not regress in that maturity. When I was still a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I watched our instructors (all multitour Vietnam veterans) deal with the end of the war. In t... more »

Abortion’s link to breast cancer
Women should be told about the relationship between induced abortion and breast cancer. And so should researchers who look only at race, income and social safety net. In the 1950s black women and white women were married at about the same percentage, but that changed with the War on Poverty and drastically by the late 1990s. Until the late 1950s black women had lower breast cancer mortality rates than white--even with aggressive segregation, more poverty, poor housing, and limits to education. And guess what else changed? Higher abortion rates for black women than white when Uncle ... more »
