Major Andrés H. Cáceres-Solari arrived at NATO’s Joint Force Command Brunssum in the Netherlands in the summer of 2013 after a successful company command in Japan. By the time he left two years later, he had lost his security clearance, faced a Board of Inquiry, and was on a path that ended with his involuntary separation from the Marine Corps. In his recently published book, “Criminal Negligence in Command,” Cáceres-Solari says the turning point came after he repeatedly raised concerns about emerging threats that were being ignored by the highest officers in the NATO command. Those concerns included indicators of…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring a record-setting deployment of nearly nine months on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran. In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the more than 260-day deployment is “not nearly long enough.” “That ship is moving right now,…
I get that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson isn’t really that concerned with public safety. He’s more likely to blame Indiana for all of his city’s problems, just like his predecessors have done. However, his latest effort has me shaking my head. See, his approach to public safety is, like so many others, really about making it look like he’s taking the gun industry to task without having to do anything about the actual source of crime in a city that had more murders than all three major cities in relatively pro-gun Florida.Let’s look at how…
An Army gynecologist who has been accused of secretly recording patients has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. On Wednesday, he appeared before a military judge, Col. Jorge Rivera, at the Lawrence Williams Judicial Center at Fort Hood, Texas. Dr. Blaine McGraw was suspended from his role at Fort Hood in October 2025 after a patient accused him of secretly recording her during a gynecological exam, allegedly filming the individual without consent with a secret smartphone during a pelvic and breast exam. That patient’s allegations were tied into what eventually unfolded into a broader civil complaint wherein investigators…
When students head back to class at Louisiana’s colleges and universities in a few days, there’ll be a slight improvement for those who want to be able to protect themselves on campus. For the first time, students will be allowed to have chemical self-defense sprays with them. The change comes from legislation introduced by Rep. Michael Bayham, a Republican lawmaker who says lawmakers needed to “give people the ability to protect themselves when the police aren’t there.”Bayham said he did not get the new law passed in a vacuum.“We worked with the universities on this…
A U.S. soldier’s wife who spent more than a month in federal immigration detention said she is back home after officers removed her from a deportation flight to Brazil. Earlier this month, The Associated Press highlighted Maisa Lopes Eliaser as one of dozens of spouses or parents of U.S. troops who had been detained after President Donald Trump’s administration rolled back protections for military families amid its push for mass deportations. Following the AP’s reporting, a group of Congressional Democrats launched an investigation into deportations of military service members and their families. Eliaser was placed on a deportation flight Wednesday…
As of Thursday, certain people could buy suppressors and short-barreled long guns without a Form 1 from the ATF. While the tax stamp died, we still had to have those products registered with the feds to avoid breaking out in handcuffs. However, a federal court ruled that with the tax gone, the registration is unconstitutional, and a temporary stay in that ruling’s impact expired at midnight Wednesday. Thursday was a brand new world. At least, it’s one on paper.Right now, no one seems to know precisely what the hell any of it means. The people…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is ordering the U.S. Navy to remove the advanced system used to launch fighter jets from its newest type of aircraft carrier and return to using older steam catapults that he has long said he prefers, according to a directive issued Thursday. The new mandate would likely cost billions of dollars and revert the Navy’s most advanced ships to a system that takes more sailors to operate and is more difficult to maintain. The memo directs the Pentagon and the Navy to present Trump with plans to remove the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, also…
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Friday threatened unspecified stern steps against the United States and South Korea ahead of their upcoming military drills, which Pyongyang called a war rehearsal that would be more provocative than last year. The warning is typical of the harsh rhetoric that North Korea often deploys ahead of major U.S.-South Korean military exercises and suggests the country could conduct more missile tests in coming days. Experts say North Korea has often used its rivals’ drills as a pretext to ramp up its testing activities to expand its weapons arsenals and promote public support…

Marines in Okinawa can now manufacture a working raiding craft in theater instead of waiting for one to ship across the Pacific. That capability moved from concept to the water on June 29 when Intermediate Repair Company, 3rd Maintenance Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group (MLG) put a 7-meter foam hull into the water at White Beach Naval Facility and ran both manned and unmanned operations. The craft was the most visible result of Resilient Advanced Manufacturing For Contested Environments (RAMFORCE), an initiative hosted by the Office of the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering.
