Submitting application after application and hearing nothing back has long been one of the most frustrating parts of looking for a job after military service. But Tim Best says something has changed. After decades working in veteran employment, the RecruitMilitary CEO says the frustration he hears from job seekers today is different, and more intense, than at any other point in his career. “There’s a lot of frustration more than I’ve ever seen in my career from job seekers around the job search right now,” Best said. Best, a former Army special operations helicopter pilot, recently sat down with Military.com…

Seattle Mayor Katie Hopkins has been getting a lot of criticism over her response (or lack thereof) to some high-profile shootings and violence in the city, and honestly, that criticism should only grow in the wake of the release of her new “gun violence” prevention plan. Instead of adopting a strategy of focused deterrence that would prioritize going after repeat violent offenders, Wilson’s plan calls for the passage of more gun control laws, using “gun violence interrupters” after a shooting has taken place, and targeting suspected violent offenders with “red flag” orders instead of prosecutions, along with…

Ever have someone find out how many guns you own, then ask why you think you need so many guns? You may not even have that many, but if it’s more than one, you somehow have too many. After all, they might say, you can only shoot one gun at a time. To that, I reply, “Yeah, then explain two-gun mojo, baby.” I’ll also point out that how many I can shoot is irrelevant when it comes to the matter of rights.What’s interesting, though, is that many of these same people think gun rationing is…
A Republican lawmaker has forced a House vote this week to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a vocal critic of his party’s policies who earlier this year lost his GOP primary when President Donald Trump endorsed his opponent, read the articles of impeachment on the House floor on Tuesday. He introduced the resolution as privileged, which under House rules forces a floor vote within two legislative days. Massie invoked a procedural maneuver that bypasses party leadership and puts some of his fellow Republicans in a difficult position weeks before the…

A U.S. Army veteran has claimed Department for Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits errors left him struggling without benefits he was entitled to, leading to $43,000 in “overpayment” debt. Army veterans discharged under conditions other than dishonorable are entitled to a comprehensive suite of VA benefits, including education assistance, home loan guaranties and health care. VA disability compensation is a monthly, tax-free monetary payment designated for veterans who sustained injuries or contracted illnesses during active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training. This coverage spans physical conditions like chronic back pain and hearing loss, alongside mental health struggles such…
We’re now about two weeks away from the first conference of the Supreme Court’s new term, and a number of Second Amendment cases are awaiting the justices’ attention. One of them is Johnson v. Jacobson, which deals with recognition (or the lack thereof) of out-of-state concealed carry permits. The “Johnson” in this case is an over-the-road truck driver named Jeffrey Johnson, who would like to be able to lawfully carry his handgun while driving through Minnesota without having to go through the process of obtaining a non-resident permit. A coalition of Second Amendment groups comprised…
Roughly 90 U.S. Navy sailors from USS Kearsage reportedly saw their cars towed from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., after they spent 10 days at sea. The USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy. It is designed to transport and deploy elements of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) using landing craft, hovercraft (LCACs), and a variety of V/STOL jets and helicopters. The vessel has been working up to a scheduled deployment and has been in and out of Norfolk, the world’s largest naval station, training with Marine units stationed in North Carolina. A U.S.…
The right to keep and bear arms has always implied the right to obtain a firearm. Thus far, various roadblocks that slow the process have survived legal challenge, but there’s only so much friction that’s tolerable before things get stupid. In Illinois, you have to have a FOID card in order to buy a gun. It’s dumb, but it’s also only $10. It started at $5 back in 1968, so accounting for inflation, that’s something like $45 or so today. Not great, but not insurmountable.It’s unconstitutional friction, in my book, but it only slows down…
For decades, American airpower operated with an assumption that increasingly no longer holds: U.S. aircraft could generally launch from bases protected from direct enemy attack. The Air Force’s top civilian and uniformed leaders say that era is ending. Speaking Monday at the Air & Space Forces Association’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach outlined a service confronting vulnerable bases, rapidly advancing autonomous weapons and a need to generate far more combat power without simply buying more expensive aircraft. Their message was sharpened by Operation Epic…
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. government watchdog released its first report Monday on the impact of the Iran war, acknowledging the military’s advanced weapons shortfalls and offering the first public look at the damage to American aircraft, bases and diplomatic outposts in the Middle East. Much of the information has been previously reported over the past six months, but the Pentagon inspector general’s report offered the fullest official accounting so far of the conflict’s costs in American lives, taxpayer dollars and physical damage. It included information from the watchdogs for the Defense and State departments as well as the U.S.…
A U.S. Army veteran is suing a sheriff in his native Virginia county for allegedly looking the other way after repeated alleged incursions of hunters and hunting dogs on his sprawling property. Ret. Army Brig. Gen. Billy Don Farris II, who served in the U.S. Army for over 30 years and earned a Purple Heart for his service in Iraq, bought an 80-acre farm in Gloucester County, Va., after he retired. But what was intended to be a post-service career basking in the area’s natural world alongside his family has turned into a back-and-forth with a local sheriff, now leading…
