It makes sense that critics have directed their ire and reform energies toward the mechanics of the pardon process, particularly since President Trump is on the record as disd...

Long Gone: A D-Day Amphibious Invasion Won't Happen Again

It was terrible. *And it will never happen again.* In fact, it *hasn’t* happened again.

Iran's 'Heidar' Sniper Rifle: A Super Gun or Super Joke?

*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Middle East* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Don’t be surprised if the Heidar soon appears outside of Iran. Iran regularly over-hypes its military technology, and in some cases, shows off bogus equipment for propaganda purposes. Iran’s military industry is also resourceful and produces interesting weapons which the Islamic republic then proliferates into very real conflicts. As a latter example, Iran in April 2017 revealed the .50-caliber, semi-automatic Heidar sniper rifle to coincide with the annual Iran Army Day, an event for showcasing new hardware. ...

Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan: What Made America's B-29 Bombers So Powerful
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* After the war, many were converted for use in an aerial photography role while others were converted into miniature airliners. One of the few surviving AT-11 Kansans is now in the collection of the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The importance of the United States military’s B-17 and B-24 bombers during World War II cannot be overstated, but while those aircraft delivered devastation to the enemy, it wouldn’t have been possible were it not for the Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan. This military model of the Beechcraft Model 18 commercia...
He 177: Hitler’s Dive-Bombing Heavy Bomber was a Real Horror

*WarIsBoring* *Security, * The all-metal He 177 was both interesting from an engineering standpoint and fundamentally flawed for the same reason. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A little more than ten months later, Germany’s ruin was complete. It is certain that the tragedy of the He-177 was one of the factors which had contributed to its downfall. Put yourself in the shoes of a German pilot during World War II. It’d be more than just a bit concerning if your assignment was to fly the “Flaming Coffin,” a.k.a. the “One Way Bomber” or “Volcano.” But the hot, flammable He 177 G...

Schools And Social Capital
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 7 hours ago
I'm in the middle of reading Robert Putnam's new book (*The Upswin*g) which has gotten me to thinking about his previous work, *Our Kids*. What has struck me in particular about the latter is his writing about social capital and the children of this country. The definition of social capital is, in general, a little fuzzy. Putnam's, as put forth in Bowling Alone, another of his books well worth reading, is that it refers to "connections among individuals – social networks and the norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness that arise from them." My own shorthand is to think of it as t...

It has come up, in one of the comments on this blog, that someone wondered when the Pratt interview took place. I thought this was the best way to respond. The best answer I can find is December 8, 1979 and the information was published in the *National Enquirer* on February 26, 1980. The transcript of that interview is rather confusing. Karl Pflock, in his book, *Roswell: Inconvenient Facts and the Will to * *Believe*, cleaned it up but there are areas for interpretation. In one place, the insertion of a comma changes the meaning. In the Pratt interview, there is no comma, so ...

Has Military Superiority Made America Less Safe? (Book Review)

*Alex Ward, VOX:* *How military superiority made America less safe * America’s dominance wasn’t by happenstance. It was a choice. There’s a myth Americans tell themselves: After World War II, the United States had no choice but to be the world’s superpower and preeminent military force. No other countries were strong enough after years of fighting, and it was solely up to the US, by virtue of its position, to rebuild and reorder the world. The reason that’s not true, says Stephen Wertheim, author of Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of US Global Supremacy, is because the US made a...

Their u-turn isn't a matter of unprincipled politics, it's entirely conditioned by their political project. Perhaps we should keep this in mind considering matters in England and Wales. Take the ...
