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.

A veteran who fills his prescriptions through the VA may have seen the headlines this week about Medicare drug premiums going up in 2027 and possibly felt worried. For most veterans, there’s no need to get anxious, but for some, there might be. Basically, it all comes down to where you get your medication. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Tuesday that it will end a federal subsidy that has helped hold down prescription drug premiums for the past two years. Some believe this move could raise monthly costs for some Medicare beneficiaries starting in 2027, and a…

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System, DEERS, is the database that quietly underpins nearly every benefit a military family uses day to day: Tricare coverage, commissary and exchange access, base facility access, and the ID card that gets checked at every gate. It’s also one of the easiest things to let lapse without noticing, because the consequences don’t usually show up until you’re standing at a pharmacy counter or a Tricare claim gets denied. What Actually Expires — And What Doesn’t Two different things can go out of date, and they’re not quite the same problem. The physical ID card…
The days of choosing substance over style are far behind us. Once upon a time, you could only get a pair of good hiking boots in brown or dark brown.

We’re highlighting several new collaborations this week that do exactly that, including gorgeous new binoculars inspired by bird species, backpacks with a Wes Anderson aesthetic, running and swim gear co-designed by Olympic athletes, and tons more. Find the latest and greatest of the outdoor…
For the first time in U.S. history, a parent has been convicted of murder for their role in their child’s violence. Colin Gray, the father of the student who shot and killed four people and injured seven others at Apalachee High School in Georgia in 2024, was sentenced to 15 years behind bars on Thursday. Gray purchased the rifle that was used in the shooting for his son as a gift even after an earlier police investigation into his son for allegedly threatening a school shooting as well as his documented history of mental health…
BEIRUT (AP) — President Donald Trump in an interview released Wednesday confirmed an earlier report that he criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “crazy” in a Monday phone call, saying he was “a little bit perturbed” that Israel’s fighting of Hezbollah in Lebanon was holding back peace talks with Iran. But even as the U.S. president acknowledged the tensions, he insisted that his relationship with Netanyahu was solid and they connected, in part, because they’re both “wartime” leaders. “We’ve worked very well together. I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Trump told The New…
This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute. For most analysts, if the gross domestic product (GDP) data shows an increase, then this is perceived as good economic news. Conversely, if the GDP data shows weakness, then this is regarded as a possible deterioration in economic conditions. Most analysts are data-driven. The reality for them is what they see. Thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises questioned this way of assessing the state of the economy. For Mises, data is an historical display and, by itself, cannot provide the analyst with a genuine understanding of the nature…
Switches that convert perfectly legal firearms, like those Glock produces, into machine pistols are all the rage in the media, right up there with so-called ghost guns. The fact that privately made firearms typically function like Glocks and similar handguns only makes the hysteria even more palpable. States have started trying to take action, from pro-gun Alabama banning the switches to Connecticut’s recently passed ban on these kinds of handguns; it seems the problem is massive. Just how massive is it?As with all things, context matters. While some might throw percentages around, without raw numbers,…

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin said Tuesday that last week’s rocket explosion spared fuel tanks and some other critical parts of the launch pad. Critical to NASA’s Artemis moon program, the company’s massive New Glenn rocket blew up during an engine-firing test at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. A lightning tower and the transporter-erector used to move and hoist the rocket were destroyed in the blast that sent shock waves across the state. CEO Dave Limp said the methane, hydrogen and oxygen tanks look to be in good shape. The water tank is also fine and…

Veteran advocates met last month with legislators on a daunting yet important task: finding a way to reduce the veteran suicide rate. Representatives from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention traveled to Washington D.C. for the 17th annual Advocacy Forum, taking place May 10-13, in which they advocated for two bills they hope to pass to reduce veteran suicide. “The numbers are dire,” Laurel Stine, executive vice president and chief policy and advocacy officer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, told Military.com. “In addition to that, veterans face a 35% higher suicide rate in the 12 months after separation…

Marine Sgt. Rafael Peralta could finally receive the nation’s highest honor for sacrificing his own life to save a group of fellow marines in Iraq. In a renewed push 18 years after the fact, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has introduced legislation to authorize President Donald Trump to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Peralta, of San Diego, Calif., for his extraordinary heroism during Operation Iraqi Freedom. “Sgt. Rafael Peralta embodied the highest ideals of indomitable courage and steadfast devotion to his fellow Marines and to our great country,” Issa said in a statement. “Valor never expires, and Congress has…
