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?…
Capcom may have accidentally confirmed that a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake is going to be announced soon, likely during the Summer Game Fest. While the confirmation isn’t explicit, it follows a pattern of what Capcom has done prior to other Resident Evil game reveals. Fans of the Resident Evil franchise have been asking for a Code: Veronica remake for a very long time now, especially following the release of the other Resident Evil remakes. So far, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 have all received state-of-the-art RE Engine remakes, but Code: Veronica has been strangely absent from that list.…
The U.S. and Iran have made little progress in talks over an interim peace deal this week, with the sides seeing their worst clashes since an April ceasefire began and fighting continuing in Lebanon. Skirmishes continued overnight between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon after the Iran-backed group rejected a U.S.-brokered proposal aimed at securing a broader truce. Even so, Hezbollah’s attacks on northern Israel have eased, while Israel has held off striking Beirut after threatening to do so earlier this week. Iran insists on a ceasefire in Lebanon before accepting a deal with the U.S. that’s meant to extend…

This article was originally published by Philippe Lemieux at The Mises Institute. Modern economic life no longer unfolds within reality as it emerges from human action. It operates within a constructed order that substitutes itself for real processes. Governments do not engage with the economy as it is lived and experienced. They act upon abstractions that stand in for it. What is presented as analysis is in fact a replacement. Modern central banks often justify monetary policy decisions by targeting inflation indexes that no longer reflect the real cost of living experienced by individuals. While official statistics may report stable…
While we often see racial disparities in a lot of crime statistics, I refuse to accept anyone’s claim that the problem is because of race. The DNA of a white person, a black person, an Asian, a Hispanic person, or any other ethnic group is so close to identical as is possible for different people to be that it cannot be simply because of the amount of melanin in someone’s skin. But, with that said, there are racial disparities in a lot of crime statistics, and that includes victim statistics.Recently, an op-ed made the rounds…
The Navy has removed the top three leaders of its largest overseas ship maintenance facility, marking the second leadership shake-up at the command in less than two years. Rear Adm. Dan Lannamann, commander of Navy Regional Maintenance Center, relieved Capt. Wendel Penetrante, commanding officer of U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC); Capt. Edwin Catubig, the executive officer; and Master Chief Petty Officer Thomas Howell, the command master chief, all on June 3. The Navy said the leaders were removed because of a “loss of confidence in their ability to command” but provided no additional details.…
A House bill would require the Department of Defense to develop and implement a plan for using advanced manufacturing technologies to increase production of hard-to-source military parts, an effort aimed at addressing supply-chain shortages that can affect readiness. The Defense Industrial Base Advanced Manufacturing Enhancement Act introduced June 2 by Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) would amend Section 1842 of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by requiring the Pentagon to identify advanced manufacturing solutions for critical readiness items of supply and establish a process for implementing them. “Making sure our military is ready and prepared for anything is…
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping will travel to North Korea next week, both countries announced Friday, in what will be his first visit in nearly seven years. His trip will be the latest in a series of steps by China to reinforce its close ties with its nuclear-armed neighbor. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reached out to Russia in recent years, notably by sending troops and conventional weapons to support its war against Ukraine. But in the past year, Kim has likewise been trying to improve ties with China, the North’s biggest trading partner and provider…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday called for face-to-face negotiations in a public letter addressed directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The letter, the first public message Zelenskyy has written directly to Putin since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, was a sweeping critique of the Russian leader’s 26 years in power. Zelenskyy acknowledged shifting U.S. priorities, saying it would be wrong to simply wait for the Trump administration to return its attention to ending the Ukraine war while it remains heavily focused on the Iran war. “I am proposing a meeting,” Zelenskyy wrote. U.S.…
