Interesting. Couple of years ago, I had a scoop which the Pentagon later confirmed that Twelve U.S. National Guard members were removed from securing then President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after vetting. Turns out one of them was Pete Hegseth

If former President Biden should’ve stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, does that mean President Trump should’ve stopped India from attacking Pakistan?

15 years ago today was my first day in combat. It also marks the sacrifice of Lance Cpl. Charles Seth Sharp, who was a member of my infantry unit (Echo Company 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines) during Op. Khanjar - Martin Smith of FRONTLINE was embedded with us. Miss you, Seth

I’ve been thinking a lot about My Lai since the news broke yesterday that U.S. Army Lt. William Calley, the only soldier convicted of the massacre in Vietnam, died. This 60 Minutes interview comes to mind. The late Mike Wallace asks: “How do you shoot babies?”

I’ve seen this video many times but every time I watch it I’m reminded of how U.S. Air Force PJs are some of the best human beings among us.

14 years ago today was my first day in combat. It’s also the same day we lost Lance Cpl. Charles Sharp of Echo Company 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment. This video is hard to watch but it’s important to remember what happened that day in Mianposteh, Afghanistan. Miss you, Seth.

I’ve seen this clip before but I just want to say that SHAQ randomly buying things for kids is nothing new. I know this because when he played for the Orlando Magic in the mid 90s, I was at a McDonald’s on Gore Street, he bought me and I think every other kid a Happy Meal.

I need Tom Hanks to see this and to crash the party. Just once. I feel like it would be good for the collective soul.

“Did you serve in Afghanistan? Yes I did. How many tours? One. What year were you there, what years. 2002 [thinking] 2003.” How could he be there in 2003 when his deployment to Qatar ended in Nov. 2002 per his own words?

This is awesome: Peter Cullen explains how his brother, a decorated U.S. Marines captain and Vietnam War veteran, inspired the voice of Optimus Prime. His brother, Larry, told him: “Be strong enough to be gentle.”
