As the nation gets set to mark 25 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a University of Oklahoma football player is honoring that fateful day with his own financial campaign. Oklahoma Sooners defensive end Danny Okoye is matching every tackle, sack or interception this season with donated dollars to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a charity dedicated to the military and first responders. “I have two family members who are first responders, and one is a firefighter, so this cause is personal to me,” Okoye told Military.com. “When I learned about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the work they…

As autonomous cars become more visible in certain cities, self-driving technology is being tested in other modes of transportation for the U.S. military. In late August, the U.S. Army conducted testing on a commercial offshore supply vessel in Hawaii, completing an 18-hour, fully autonomous trip from Pearl Harbor to the Big Island. The ship is the length of a football field and was retrofitted in nine days by Sea Machines Robotics, a Boston-based company that builds autonomous software for vessel sizes 10 to 300 feet. Officials say the company’s SM300 autonomy package was used in the Army’s test vessel, in…

The request does not mean the FBI has purchased or deployed the system. It is a March 27 request for information asking companies to describe available technology. Its specifications, however, show the capabilities the bureau wants to develop.…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian attacks overnight killed at least three people in Ukraine, local officials said Friday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was expecting U.S. envoys in Kyiv in the coming days as part of renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war.

Russian forces have relentlessly struck civilian areas. Previously, these attacks occurred mostly at night, but now they are happening during the day as well. The front line in eastern and southern Ukraine remains…

There’s one big problem with many Republicans, and that’s how the only way they’re better than Democrats on guns is that they don’t inherently want every bit of gun control that comes down the line. They’re open to talking, and they’ll even vote for it from time to time, but they’ll vote against others. They’re not good, just less bad. But not all are cut from that cloth. There are some who are truly pro-gun, which is something you just don’t see from Democrats anymore.That’s how we got suppressors and short-barreled long guns without tax…

Eugene Lucas spent about a decade working inside the Department of Veterans Affairs, treating veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder from conflicts spanning Vietnam through Iraq and Afghanistan. In a recent interview with Military.com otherwise focused on emerging GLP-1 research and alcohol use disorder, Lucas, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is now associate professor and coordinator of the Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program at Wilkes University, made a clinical observation that stood apart from the rest of the conversation: In his experience, the number of times a veteran deployed to a combat zone tracked closely with how much trauma they carried…
