SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States began a large military exercise with South Korea involving thousands of troops Monday while also waging an escalating war in the Middle East. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff has said about 18,000 Korean troops will take part in Freedom Shield, which runs through March 19. U.S. Forces Korea hasn’t confirmed the number of American troops participating in the training in South Korea. The allies’ combined exercise comes amid South Korean media speculation that Washington is relocating some assets from South Korea to support fighting against Iran. U.S. Forces Korea said last…
Sarah Branyan knows firsthand what it’s like to survive military sexual trauma (MST). She also knows what it’s like to make mistakes and have the power to rise above and make a comeback. And she’s having a positive effect on struggling veterans. Branyan, an Army veteran, works as a peer support specialist for the C.W. Bill Young Veteran’s Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida. Specifically, Branyan supports veterans fighting mental health battles and issues stemming from post-traumatic stress disorder. Her most vital role is leading group sessions with in-patient veterans going through some of the same challenges she faced a couple decades ago. Branyan’s…
The Vortex AMG 1-10×24 FFP is a compact, hard-use LPVO that gives rail space back without giving up clarity, speed, or serious mechanical innovation. After months of testing, I came away convinced this may be the finest LPVO I’ve ever run. Why the Vortex AMG 1-10×24 LPVO Stands Out Fast Vortex’s AMG 1-10×24 LPVO delivers compact, purpose-built performance for shooters who demand durability, versatility, and clarity. Born from the requirements of elite operators, this optic is rugged enough to survive hard use and compact enough to free up rail space for thermals, lasers, and backup sights. At 8.4” and 18.8…
As parts of the U.S. begin to thaw out from a frigid and stormy winter season, Alaska is still very much in the winter doldrums. But over the years, Alaska Army National Guard troops have largely adapted to the challenges of a frigid climate — except when it comes to emergency travel and rescue.“We need to accept that medical evacuation may be delayed or denied altogether in a high-end Arctic fight,” said Major Titus Rund, 207th Aviation Troop Command flight surgeon, in a statement obtained by Military.com. “If we can’t stabilize and protect our injured in the cold, we lose…

You just dropped serious money on a quality suppressor. You waited through the paperwork. Now you’re finally on the other side of that process, can threaded onto your barrel, and ready to experience the quietest, most satisfying range session of your life. Then you feed it the same bulk steel-case plinking ammo you’ve been running through your AR for the past three years. Here’s the thing: it’ll probably work. But “probably works” and “performs at its best” are two very different things when you’re shooting suppressed. The ammo you choose has a bigger impact on your suppressed shooting experience than…
The National Rifle Association is calling out the mayor of Michigan’s largest city for his recent disparaging remarks about lawful gun owners. In a recent news alert, the NRA chronicled how Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand, a first-term Democrat, recently went on a tirade against gun owners. And there’s no doubt he spoke what he really thought because he prefaced his comments with, “The NRA is going to be mad at me.” In late February, LaGrand held a community meeting where he was expected to address community policing policies following an officer-involved shooting that is currently under investigation. Instead, he…
There’s a Swedish proverb that cold-weather adventurers have been paraphrasing for decades. It goes, There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. And sure, that works for walking your dog and skiing most of the time. But winter gravel riding is a different beast. On the one hand, you have super-cold wind obliterating your hands and fingers. Then you’ve got wetness and snow falling from the sky. Then, of course, it’s tough to avoid an inevitable spritzing from the inside as you heat up and sweat through your layers when you’re hammering uphill. And that’s when the road…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: “This Will Bring Down Global Economy”: Qatar’s Energy Minister Offers Dire Warning About Hormuz Chokepoint Chaos Brent crude futures are on track for their biggest weekly gain since the early days of Covid, with the move now exceeding the 20% weekly spike at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, as the U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran, Operation Epic Fury, has tipped the Gulf into an energy crisis, freezing commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and pushing some regional oil and gas production offline. On Friday, Qatar’s…
You know it’s spring when the outdoor gear releases start picking up steam. That’s certainly the case this week. Brands both big and small have launched new products that upgrade standby gear, such as shoes, life vests, and fishing reels.

After the West Virginia Senate Judiciary committee approved a bill that would open the door to the state sale of machine guns to lawful residents last week, the legislation was suddenly left in limbo ahead of a legislative deadline. SB 1071 should have been transmitted to the Senate floor for a procedural move to send it to the Senate Finance committee and then onto the Senate floor (if the committee approved), but instead the bill never officially left the Judiciary committee, and Judiciary Chair Tom Willis was mum about what was going on. SB 1071…
Overseas knives have been on an upswing in the past 10 years. Reate and WE Knives have long been the frontrunners out of China, but a newer name, Kunwu, has been producing some very stylish, complex knives. Until now, the company’s smallest offering fell into the “behemoth” size category, but a few new offerings have been reasonably for EDC. The Compadre was the most interesting these newer knives. In short: The Compadre ($280) is a beautifully made, highly stylized knife with superior cutting performance. Its cuts and curves might look busy, but getting the knife in hand and using it will prove…
