Companies that hire child care workers, gas station clerks, restaurant servers and security guards are among the businesses most...

Arms Race Kick Off: America Didn't See This Soviet Bomber Coming
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Bombers, Eurasia* This Russian bomber caught the United States off guard, and the Air Force had to leap headfirst into bomber production. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Myasishchev jet bomber caused quite a scare in the American intelligence community. The M-4 made its public debut during the Soviet Union’s annual May Day parade in 1954. The United States was caught off guard—they had no knowledge of a Soviet jet-powered bomber project, let alone the fact that Soviet jet bombers were now in production. Following the Second World War, the Soviet Union was...

*Peter Suciu* *Douglas A-20, Americas* It was the most-produced attack bomber produced during the war. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The A-20 brought havoc to the enemy. During the Second World War, the Douglas Aircraft Company produced several important aircraft, and today the SBD Dauntless dive bomber and C-47 Skytrain are largely remembered for the role each played in the war effort.

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Semi-Automatic Weapons, World* A classic showdown between Axis and Allies. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Only the M1 Garand proved to be successful There is no denying that the United States military’s M1 Garand was truly the best of the main battle rifles used in the Second World War. Whereas the other powers largely relied on bolt action rifles that were essentially little improved versions of what had been carried in the trenches of World War I, the American soldier and marine had some semi-automatic firepower.

Can the F-35 Go Hypersonic?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *military, Global* Birtain's plan to turn the 1990s Eurofighter Typhoon into a hypersonic fighter is leading many to ask if fourth- and fifth-generation fighters—which operate at speeds of around Mach 2 or less—become Mach 5 speed demons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Hypersonic engines won’t turn a Typhoon, F-15, or F-22 into a Mach 5 jet. Instead, hypersonic missiles will do the work. Can an F-35 be turned into a hypersonic aircraft? News last month that Britain is boosting its hypersonic weapons program didn’t come as a surprise.

Meet the Finest Squad Guns of World War II
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Squad Guns, Europe* The concept of the squad gun was first developed a generation earlier. *Here's What You Need to Know*: These are the kinds of weapons the modern, mass armies of the Axis and Allies needed. The concept of a “squad automatic weapon” was not new to the Second World War, and was in fact developed a generation earlier in the mud-soaked trenches of the First World War. The French were actually the first to deploy such a weapon, the largely disparaged Chauchat. While it suffered from design flaws it was still an innovative weapon. During World War II ...

How Nazi Germany Introduced the FLAK Into the Military Lexicon
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Anti-Aircraft Guns, Europe* More than 20,000 FLAK 36 88mm multi-purpose guns were produced by the end of the war—but the lasting legacy is the still the word flak! *Here's What You Need to Know*: Thankfully Berlin lost the war, but the word flak lives on with a new and different meaning. Today the word “flak” essentially means “strong criticism,” as in “I took a lot of flak”—and while the word is commonly used today, few likely know of its origins, which actually date back to World War II and refer to a weapon designed by the Nazis. The concept of “taking flak” ref...

Here is what they might do though in terms of future stimulus. The economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s become clear, have been very regressive. While those without much struggled mightily, the very rich got a lot richer. Forbes reported last week that bi...
