The pro-Palestinian demonstrators would never see the evil of Hamas, no matter how much evidence was presented to them
So very, very many of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were decrying ‘genocide’ of the ‘Palestinians’ by Israel in the two-year-long war. They published all sorts of photos of places before-and-after the war. The same could have been done concerning Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo and Yokohama, because that’s what it takes to win wars. The …
Trump earned the Nobel before Gaza; Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’
Norway announced its recipient of the Nobel Prize yesterday. As peace broke out in the Middle East, the New York Post reported, “Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’” President Donald John Trump earned the prize long before he ended the FAFO War that Palestinians began two years ago.
The Department of War Is Back — And About Time
I entered the Army in July of 1993, before President Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” experiment. Back then, the military was still primarily about blowing holes in things, breaking enemy armies, and defending the Republic. Then slowly, like a frog in a pot, the Pentagon began feeding the social science laboratory every “good idea” — except the good ideas about how to win wars.
Hostages Have Value!

Pete Hegseth’s Wrecking Ball to the U.S. Military — and Why It’s Exactly What We Need
This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did something extraordinary: he swung a wrecking ball into the bloated bureaucracy and reminded 800 generals that their job is not to manage feelings — it’s to win wars.
Who Can Seriously Believe That This Will Happen?
Could you imagine the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among our friends on the left if Donald Trump’s peace proposal led to a lasting peace in the Middle East, and he won the Nobel Peace Prize for it? Qatar tells US it can convince Hamas to disarm, accept Trump plan Sources told the …
Angel of War
Mister William was old when I interviewed him years ago. Ancient, actually. Mid-nineties. Bent and pale. “It was World War II,” William began. “I was in Italy…”
How to Sell Ice to Eskimos (and Wars to Americans)
As an ORSA math geek, I was the Army’s personal calculator monkey. My job? Crunch the ROI on our advertising campaigns. Translation: I figured out if dropping $62+ million a year on slapping Army logos onto NASCAR stock cars was actually convincing anyone to trade their Budweiser for a Beretta.
A New Gaza by LTG Tom McInerney, USAF (Ret) & MG Paul E Vallely US Army (Ret)
President Trump was right that Gaza is a very valuable property that must be turned into a modern, economic development zone for Arabs, Israel, and others.
Two Allies, Two Cartridges, and One Very Big Logistics Headache
By WWI, the Allies were in a strange position: the British were firing .311-inch .303, the Americans .308-inch .30-06. Same side, different bullets.
We Were Warned in 1994… And We Still Didn’t Learn
Remember 1994? Ebola. Marburg. Deadly hemorrhagic fevers that liquefy organs, ooze blood from every orifice, and generally make a bad day look like a picnic.
Army XM7 – If It Ain’t Broke, The Army Will Fix It Anyway
Why the New .277 Fury May Be the Greatest Logistical Disaster Since the MRE Omelet The U.S. Army is rolling out its first major service rifle redesign since 1965—yes, you read that right. The M16/M4 platform has been around longer than disco, and just like disco, it still works surprisingly well if you know how …
Bring the Flyboys Home: Why It’s Time to Put the Air Force Back in the Army
The U.S. Air Force has been strutting around as its own branch since 1947, puffing out its chest like it invented flight. Hate to break it to the Pentagon empire-builders, but the Air Force was born out of the Army Air Forces
Battle Damage Assessment For Operations Midnight Hammer And Rising Lion
On June 22nd, 2025, the United States and Israel attacked multiple Iranian nuclear facilities. The American attack, Operation Midnight Hammer, targeted three sites using submarine launched cruise missiles and B2 delivered MOAPs.
My War Against Communism: Was it all for Naught?
When I was in the U.S. Army in the 1960s, one of the most persistent exhortations from my superiors was: “The only good communist is a dead communist.”
Do the Left Really Hate Donald Trump So Much That They’d Rather See More and More Blood Flowing Than the President Get Some Credit for Stopping a War?
Our good friends on the left — and I include the recent neoconservatives, who are not really conservative in very much among the left — are up in arms that the wicked, evil, hated President Donald Trump is trying to get at least a ceasefire, and possibly a lasting peace agreement, between Russia and Ukraine, …
Trump. Leader of the free world.
On Monday, Zelensky and European leaders flew to Washington to get the terms of agreement for an armistice between Russia and Ukraine after 3 years of war. The details need to be ironed out. Zelensky and Putin will meet head-to-head and then the will go to see the principal—aka Donald Trump—at a time and place to be determined.
The Moustache Wants More War!
If there’s anything consistent in this world today, it that former Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs John Bolton loves wars in which Other People have to fight. Mr Bolton, who chose to avoid service personally in the Vietnam War, a war he supported, wants the war between Russia and Ukraine to …
We Don’t Know How the Summit Turned Out, But Our Neocons Are Hoping For Failure!
Our good friends on the left are just up in arms over President Trump’s meeting with Soviet Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in Alaska, ostensibly to discuss some way to end the Russo-Ukrainian War, which has been raging — well, maybe raging isn’t the right word; how about plodding along? — for 3½ years now. …
