What Donald Trump's Tax Returns Tell Us About the IRS
Hayes Holderness, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago
*Hayes Holderness* *Politics, The Americas* One possible reason Trump’s audit is taking so long is related to the IRS’s practice of targeting the working poor at rates comparable to the wealthy. It’s hard to reel in the rich and often easier to focus on the poor. The New York Times’ exclusive on President Donald Trump’s taxes contains a lot of startling new findings. A few noteworthy examples: He paid only US$750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017 – and nothing at all in 10 of the previous 15 years; he took massive income tax deductions for property tax payments on a New York...
How the Soviet Red Army Crushed Hitler's Forces at Vienna
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In spite of a tenacious defense, the Soviet Red Army overwhelmed the Germans in the Austrian capital of Vienna. *Key Point*: The might of the Red Army prevailed in the battle for Vienna in the spring of 1945. In mid-March 1945, the Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Red Army launched a major offensive with the aim of clearing Axis forces out of Hungary and forcing them back to the very borders of Hitler’s Greater German Reich. It was successful, and at 1925 hours on the 29th a “Führer Decision” finally arrived at the headquarters of Army Group Sou...
Pork Chop Hill: How U.S. and U.N. Forces Halted Communist Aggression in Korea
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* During the Korean War the climactic struggle for control of Hill 255 in July 1953 pitted hordes of determined Chinese against gritty U.S. soldiers. *Key Point*: The U.S. and U.N. troops had thwarted the naked thrust of communist aggression in Korea; in the end, South Korea remained free. The tennis-shoed soldiers emerged from the darkness on July 6, 1953, like a “moving carpet of yelling, howling men [with] whistles and bugles blowing, their officers screaming, driving their men” against the Americans as they swept up Hill 255, recalled P...
How the U.S. Military First Adopted the Helicopter
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Igor Sikorsky demonstrated the practicality of the helicopter to the U.S. Army in 1940. *Key Point*: The first rotary wing combat rescue in history took place in 1944. On September 14, 1939, Igor Sikorsky attained stability and control with the initial flight of an open cockpit test bed known as the VS-300. Thus, Sikorsky introduced to the world the first working single rotor helicopter and fostered the basic design for rotary wing aircraft that has endured to the present day. On May 26, 1940, Sikorsky arrived at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohi...
World War II: The Soviet Union's Anti-Tank Rifles Weren't Exactly Tank Killers
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Soviet Union’s two primary antitank rifles saw wide use in World War II despite the limitations of their small calibers. *Key Point*: The antitank rifle led a relatively short life in combat because it just was not powerful enough to keep up with the rapidly advancing size of the tank itself. The German panzers approached the Russian artillery column as it moved to a new position. As the troops trudged toward their new firing point, six panzers appeared, rampaging into the Russian rear area, no doubt searching for vulnerable targe...

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* An aggressive armored reconnaissance battalion leads the Allied breakout from the Normandy beachhead. Company B’s jeeps, armored cars, and self-propelled guns stood lined up on a narrow road, their crewmen anxious to move out.
