Some military quotes survive because they captured a decision made under fire. Others lasted because they explained war, leadership or sacrifice in a sentence short enough to carry across generations. This list favors lines with strong historical sourcing. A few are preserved through later eyewitness accounts, which is noted where necessary. Widely shared quotations with disputed or invented attributions were left out.​ Military Museum: Statue of Sun Tzu, Ancient Weapons special exhibit. (Gary Todd from Xinzheng, China, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons) 1. “Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” Sun Tzu The heart of The Art of War: victory…
On May 18, 1917, six weeks after the United States declared war on Germany, Congress passed the Selective Service Act. It was the first national draft since the Civil War, and it changed the daily reality of nearly every young man in the country almost overnight. If you want to know whether you would have been called up, the honest answer depends on exactly how old you were, what you did for a living, and how the war’s demand for manpower shifted over its final 18 months. The First Registration: June 5, 1917 The government designated June 5, 1917 as…
Most people assume the World War II draft began the day after Pearl Harbor. It didn’t. The United States started conscripting men more than a year before it entered the war, and the rules that governed who got called up changed dramatically once it did. Whether you’d have gone depends heavily on which version of the draft you’re asking about. The First Peacetime Draft in American History On Sept. 16, 1940, with France already fallen and Britain under siege, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act, commonly called the Burke-Wadsworth Act. It required all men between 21…
One of the things that I believe should be uncontroversial is the idea of making schools terrible targets for would-be mass killers. Armed teachers, hardened schools, armed security- nothing should be off the table in making schools virtual fortresses that can be unwelcoming places for those who want to murder our children. And yeah, I guess that includes pepper spray-wielding drones, as Cam talked about a couple of months back. Then, the drones were set to be tested in a Georgia high school.Now, they’re being deployed elsewhere.How do we combat the scourge of school shootings?…
New Hampshire had an interesting bill. It was basically an expansion of the state’s preemption measure. As originally written, it expanded the list of self-defense products that weren’t to be touched by local governments. Yes, guns were already covered, but not everyone is comfortable with the idea of shooting another person. Some popular products weren’t covered under preemption, meaning local communities could restrict them. That’s bad, obviously.So, a bill was introduced. The House and Senate amended their version, and the state’s pro-gun attorney general had some issues with it, which I talked about on Thursday.Well,…
Federal’s 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is not another new cartridge begging you to buy another rifle. It is a high-pressure Peak Alloy load that pushed a 130-grain bullet past 3,100 fps and made the 6.5 PRC obsolete. For years, the answer to one question has driven cartridge development: What if my 6.5 Creedmoor was faster? The industry answered that question with cartridges like the 6.5 PRC. If you wanted more velocity, more energy, and more effective range, the conventional wisdom was simple: buy a bigger cartridge and a new rifle to chamber it. Federal thinks there may be a better way,…
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Friday that he wants Bill Pulte, his new acting director of national intelligence, to cut the office, which has already been significantly scaled back during his second term. Trump noted that the size of the office has been “way too high for way too long” and that “if he cut, I wouldn’t mind that.” “He’ll do a very good job,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he traveled to Wisconsin for an event on agriculture. “He’ll watch it closely, but Bill Pulte is very good, he’s very…
Montana’s Glacier National Park is an iconic landscape. Its mountains, alpine lakes, and wildlife attract millions of visitors a year. The park has faced overcrowding and parking challenges for years, but a recent policy change is frustrating visitors and causing access issues. Previous Policy In recent years, Glacier National Park has often topped 3 million visitors annually. To deal with crowds, the park implemented a day-use reservation system from 2021 to 2024. Essentially, visitors had to reserve the day they’d enter the park in advance. Then, in 2025, the park piloted a timed-entry system that was already in use at…
A few weeks ago I covered the murder of Ada Doss, a 27-year-old nurse, wife, and mom who was shot and killed in the parking lot of Tuscaloosa Alabama’s DCH Regional Medical Center. The hospital, like many around the country, is a “gun-free” campus, but that didn’t prevent Doss’s killer from carrying a gun onto hospital grounds. As it turns out, the man arrested and charged with Doss’s murder wasn’t allowed to have a gun at all because of a previous adjudication of mental illness, which prohibited his possession of firearms and ammunition. A Tuscaloosa County…
More often than not, open-world games allow players to live the life of their dreams, all the while offering them total freedom. Some games let you be a superhero who can accomplish incredible deeds, while others whisk you away to a peaceful land where you can farm, build, and mingle at your leisure. Then, a select few games are all about obtaining ultimate power and abusing the heck out of it. We aren’t talking about physically OP characters here, but rather politicians or political agents who use intimidation or information to get what they want. Surprisingly, or maybe not, very…
The Milwaukee Health Department is monitoring three patients for the Ebola virus. All are considered to be a very low risk according to health officials. The health department in Milwaukee said that it is taking appropriate steps to monitor the situation and will continue working with public health partners as needed. Previously, both Brazil and Italy ruled out Ebola in suspected cases. There are currently no cases in either country. It appears that the United States will soon be in this same boat, taking safety measures out of an abundance of caution. Brazil And Italy RULE OUT Ebola In Previous…

Building a home from the ground up is a dream for many service members and their families. If you need financial assistance, a VA loan for construction could be a good solution. A VA construction loan is a specialized mortgage designed to help eligible military members and veterans finance the construction of a new home. But unlike a standard VA purchase loan, VA construction loans are harder to find. Fewer lenders offer them due to stricter underwriting, additional risk during the building phase, and more detailed oversight requirements. In this comprehensive guide to VA construction loans, we’ll explain how a…
In 2025, 5,800 public lands employees lost their jobs, and now even more employees’ jobs are at risk. In an executive order on June 3, President Trump reclassified over 8,000 government workers, stripping away job protections and making it easier to fire them. The administration sees the move as a way to implement accountability, while opponents worry about how understaffing could lead to ineffective public lands management. The Policy The executive order, entitled “Implementing Schedule Policy/Career in the Excepted Service,” applies to a specific class of federal employees known as GS-15. This is the highest tier of civil servants, with…
A Texas Army National Guard sergeant has spent in excess of $3,000 attempting to bring her deported husband back to the states, claiming that federal immigration agencies ignored her military status and husband’s citizenship attempts. Sgt. Nataly Castro, 26, a seven-year veteran who lives in Houston, married her husband, Fredy, on April 9, 2023. Last November, he was deported around Thanksgiving to El Salvador during what she described as a pending family-based immigration case, despite what she claimed was U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) being privy to her military service and the…
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier appears to have accomplished what state lawmakers were unable (and in some cases, unwilling) to do for the past several years: get rid of the state’s three-day waiting period on gun sales that was signed into law by then-Gov. Rick Scott after the Parkland shooting in 2018. Every government office, including mine, exists to protect your God-given rights as enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.That’s why we’re settling a landmark federal case that declares Florida’s 3-day firearm purchase waiting period unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. https://t.co/9ZSZjhTO3m— Attorney General James Uthmeier (@AGJamesUthmeier)…
