Rebound Health is expanding virtual PTSD treatment for people who may have difficulty getting specialized care, including service members and veterans. The company combines video therapy with an application offering exercises, education and support between appointments. It treats PTSD connected to military service and other forms of trauma. “It’s not a science gap or a clinical gap,” co-founder and CEO Raeva Kumar told Military.com in an interview. “It’s an access and operational gap that we’re solving.” A Company Shaped by Personal Experience Kumar worked in digital health before receiving a PTSD diagnosis herself. She contacted 22 therapists before finding one…

A small, American-made, unmanned aircraft system has set a new world endurance record, according to the U.S. Army. The drone was assembled at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania and tested by the Army in what turned out to be a record-breaking flight that spanned about 300 miles and lasted eight hours. The test flight, held on July 15-17 and confirmed this week by the Army, was dubbed ‘Game of Drones.’ The mission was cause for celebration among unmanned aircraft experts, who called it a win for the growing use of autonomous flying systems in the military. “I think it’s fantastic,”…

In an ideal world, we wouldn’t need prisons. We wouldn’t even need laws. People would understand what they should and should not do, and everything would be grand. We don’t live in that world, though. We live in this one, and so some people deserve to go to prison for a long time. When they don’t, we often find that the bad actors don’t stop trying to victimize other people.That’s what happened in one home in Rochester, NY. The bad guy decided to keep victimizing people. The armed citizen decided otherwise.A Rochester, New York, homeowner…
Marriage isn’t easy. And the military can make it even harder. Some military marriages can withstand the strain. Others can’t and end in divorce. Mine was one of those marriages that didn’t make it. After a 13-year marriage, I divorced my then-active duty husband following the one-year legal separation required by the state. More than a decade later, I still live in an area with a dense military population, and many of the military spouse friends I had before my divorce are still my friends now that I’m no longer one myself. So with this perspective, what have I learned…
The Firearms Policy Coalition is an interesting organization. On one hand, they do amazing work challenging gun laws, even allegedly having a special printer just for printing them out. It’s fantastic, even if it’s not entirely true. I honestly don’t care, because the work is what matters, not the marketing. They’re also the group most likely to tell an anti-gunner to perform anatomically improbable sexual acts upon their own person, and do it in style.I like that.I also like the press release they put out recently.Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced today that its legal team…
Lockheed Martin Corp. agreed to tentatively negotiate the purchase of up to 15 tonnes of scandium oxide a year — roughly 33,000 pounds — for up to 10 years from the southeastern Nebraska mining company NioCorp Developments, according to an Aug. 4, 2026, announcement by NioCorp. A tonne is a metric ton, which is 1,000 kilograms or about 2,204.6 pounds. Scandium is one of the U.S. defense supply chain’s narrowest chokepoints. A Metal Nobody Mines on Purpose Scandium is unusual even among rare earth elements. Global production runs somewhere between 15 tonnes and 25 tonnes a year, according to the…
A shooting between comrades stationed at U.S. Army Fort Carson, Colorado, ended in the death of one soldier and the arrest of another. According to a press release from the Pueblo Police Department, the suspect, 23-year-old Army Private Kalob Deyo, has been charged with manslaughter in the death of his 19-year-old friend and fellow soldier, Private First Class Dasan Johnny Slim Halona. Deyo’s first court appearance was scheduled for Friday, August 28. Pueblo Police confirmed some of the details of the incident to Military.com, and made clear the shooting did not occur at Fort Carson, but in the City of…
The gun debate is one of those things where both sides are trying to take advantage. I’d call it a game if the stakes weren’t so high. Both sides make arguments, and the other side tries to punch holes in them. This is reasonable and natural, even if I don’t like how the other side carries out their part.Still, fair is fair, I suppose, and free speech means they have a right to say idiotic things. That’s just how it has to be.But it doesn’t mean I leave the level of stupidity I encountered on…
Take the guesswork out of progressing toward your fitness goal, and start measuring and reporting. According to Pearson’s Law: “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement increases.” If you want to see results, you cannot rely on hard work and luck alone; you must consider all the factors that affect your progress. For fitness, health and weight management goals, this means programming, intensity, consistency, recovery and nutritional intake. Yes, for best results, measuring calories “in” and calories “out” will be a major part of the data. The Danger of Just…
An extended power outage at a military installation can quickly become a readiness problem. That risk has led the Pentagon to examine whether small nuclear reactors can provide dependable electricity directly on bases. NANO Nuclear Energy is exploring that possibility through an Air Force feasibility study of its proposed KRONOS reactor at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington and, separately, is working with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign on a proposed research reactor now under federal review. A microreactor is a nuclear reactor designed to be built largely in a factory and transported to its destination. The designs vary, but they…
The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a warning to the public about the risks of illegal charter operations ahead of Labor Day weekend. The Coast Guard Southeast District is informing people in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands about the risks and consequences of chartering vessels illegally ahead of the federal holiday, which honors the contributions of everyday workers to the U.S. There is often an annual surge in travelers on Labor Day weekend who are looking for cheap and quick options, which means there may be more cases of people operating charter vessels without…
WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed the White House to continue construction on a $400 million ballroom project as lawsuits play out, a win for President Donald Trump as he flexes unprecedented executive power and remakes the capital in his image. The apparent 5-4 decision replaces a temporary order issued earlier this month, shortly before a court-ordered halt would have gone into effect. That temporary order was signed by Chief Justice John Roberts, assigned to handle appeals from the capital. But he publicly disagreed with the latest decision, writing a strong dissent that said the project…

Defense Distributed won a major court case recently. I’ve also talked with Cody Wilson in the past about a product that was designed to get around at least some of the concerns about so-called ghost guns. The truth of the matter is that Cody is very libertarian, very pro-gun, and very much uninterested in playing nice with the state of New York. And Gov. Kathy Hochul seems to believe that she can get the best of Wilson.I mean, that’s what she said in what looks a lot like a declaration of war against Wilson and…
President Donald Trump has spent much of the past two years talking about Canada in ways that would have sounded extraordinary during most of the modern U.S.-Canadian relationship. He has repeatedly suggested that Canada could become the 51st state. And on Aug. 27, Trump went a step further in his ongoing dispute with the country, signing an executive order directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The order requires federal maps and documents to adopt the new name, though Canada has no obligation to recognize it. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney quickly rejected the change, saying Canadians…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The highest-ranking officer in the U.S. military says there are no plans to send troops to polling places during November’s midterm congressional elections, addressing concerns among Democrats that the Trump administration could use the military to interfere with the vote. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the statement in a letter to Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who recently asked Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to confirm they won’t send troops to the polls. “The Joint Force has no plans to send Federal military personnel or Federalized members of the National…
Ty Pinkins grew up in the Mississippi Delta, in poverty and with a young mother. He found purpose and structure in the U.S. military that has shaped his life and led to various pursuits, including his current campaign to represent his home state in the United States Senate. Pinkins, who served 21 years in uniform, is running as an independent candidate—one of a handful of veterans running this election cycle without an ‘R’ or ‘D’ behind their names. It will be an uphill battle, however, considering that Mississippi has long been a Republican stranglehold. The last Democrat in Mississippi to…
