How Would Iran's Air Force Fare in a War with the U.S.?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 29 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* After decades of neglect, the IRIAF is clearly hanging on by a thread. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Tehran would not go down without a fight. Once one of the largest and most powerful air forces in the world the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) is a mere shadow of its former self. War and decades of crippling sanctions have reduced Iran’s once proud air force to a motley international collection of aging warplanes of questionable value. The long decline of Iranian air power means the country is only minimally capable of securin...

The weapon which had garnered such glowing reports from American advisers and Vietnamese troops would fall victim to fatal, last-minute decisions and rumor that fueled bad choices at the troop level. The M16 rifle was headed into choppy waters. The M16 rifle...

Sara Weissman, Diverse - 5 hours ago
There are more people sentenced to prison for life than the entire prison population in the early 1970s, according to a 2018 report by the Sentencing Project.

And yet this sprawling population is often left out of conversations about prison education – and sometimes barred from programs themselves – because of an emphasis on preparing students for release and employment.
