A new survey of thousands of veterans finds overwhelming opposition to a controversial section of the comprehensive Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA) that is currently stalled in Congress. Disabled American Veterans, or DAV, published a new survey on Thursday of more than 4,200 veterans, their family members, caregivers and survivors showing that while 93% indicate they want veterans’ earned benefits protected, another 71% vehemently oppose the omnibus TCAVA unless a provision known as Section 108 is rescinded. “The general finding was people were opposed to TCAVA once they learned more about it,” Jim Marszalek, executive director of DAV’s…

Iran appears to possess a U.S. military autonomous underwater vehicle recovered near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps called the Dive-LD one of America’s most advanced unmanned submarines, while U.S. officials described it as an older vehicle that had malfunctioned and remained “dead in the water” for more than a day. Iran could reverse-engineer the Dive-LD’s mechanical systems and use what it learns to improve its own underwater drones. Built-in software defenses may prevent access to more sensitive functions, according to The Jerusalem Post, while U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the vehicle carried no…

Passengers stormed the cockpit and fought hijackers for control of United Airlines Flight 93 before it crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10:03 a.m. Sept. 11, 2001. In Washington that morning, a shootdown order that the vice president believed had reached the military never made it to a single fighter pilot in time to matter. The Shootdown Order That Never Arrived While Flight 93’s passengers organized their revolt in the plane’s final minutes, a breakdown was unfolding inside the White House and the military’s air defense network, one that the 9/11 Commission would later document in detail: 8:46…
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, an off-duty firefighter with Brooklyn’s Squad 1 had just finished an overnight shift. He was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he heard that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. Stephen Siller turned his truck around, returned to the firehouse to retrieve his gear, and drove to the entrance of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. The tunnel had been closed to all traffic for security purposes. So he strapped on roughly 60 pounds of gear and ran the rest of the way on foot. He ran through the tunnel…

Once upon a time, alcohol was banned in this country. It didn’t stop people from drinking it, but it was considered so bad for people that a constitutional amendment was ratified to ban booze. It didn’t last long, thankfully, but the truth of the matter is that it caused irreparable harm to the country. While marijuana isn’t the same as a good bottle of bourbon, the Supreme Court ruled that recreational users of illicit substances shouldn’t be subjected to a lifetime ban from gun ownership. One would imagine this should count as common sense, and…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadCrisis doesn’t just hit the grid, the grocery store, or the gas pump. It hits the people around you. It hits your home. And for parents, especially those with young kids, the biggest challenge isn’t the gear and supplies. It’s helping your family adjust mentally and physically to the new normal, whatever that craziness might be. This article was inspired by a question from Dustin in South Carolina, a longtime listener who asked: As a husband and father of two elementary school-aged kids, what are your thoughts on how to best help families…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThis episode came from a recent Mind4Survival listener survey, where I asked: What’s the one thing you need help with most right now in your preparedness? One response stood out: “Having a plan for when things actually HTF. Being prepared is one thing. Planning the steps to start with is another thing.” That’s a good question because while many people focus on the obvious aspects of preparedness, such as gathering supplies, they haven’t thought through the steps they’d actually take if the wheels fall off. Ask anyone who has worked/lived in some sort of…
