Active-duty military personnel and their spouses will soon benefit in their employment endeavors due to a new law going into effect Thursday. On Oct. 1 in Maryland, legislation known as the Modernizing Civil Relief for Service Members Act kicks in and allows active-duty service members and their spouses who relocate to the state pursuant to military orders to practice under a valid occupational or professional license issued by another state, provided they meet specified eligibility requirements and remain in good standing with their licensing authority. The bill, signed into law May 26 by Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, aims to reduce…
Midterm elections are fast approaching. A former governor told Military.com that active-duty military personnel who plan to vote should be privy to their rights and engage in their civic duty. Hundreds of thousands of American military members worldwide are under pressure to make sure they are registered to vote for the elections taking place Nov. 3, notably requesting and receiving an absentee ballot so they can be returned in time for tabulation. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican and U.S. Army veteran, told Military.com he is reminding all active-duty service members of their rights and protections in the voting…
Western veterans, including U.S. veterans, are reportedly training Russians to fight in Ukraine. A leaked intelligence memo compiled for Five Eyes intelligence agencies found with “strong confidence” that Russia has recruited the veterans to train their citizens as well as “active duty military” via a European combat camp, as initially reported by The Telegraph earlier this month. The memo said the combat camp in northern Bulgaria, run by military training company Alfa-Metal, employs instructors from U.S. police forces and U.S. Navy SEALs, as well as instructors from other backgrounds—including the SAS and the Australian Commando Regiment. Alfa-Metal denied these allegations.…

For veterans struggling with chronic insomnia, their nightly routine can become painful and disrupt their daily lives. Insomnia is no joke, and the idea of getting into bed tired and attempting to wake up while still tired is an awful cycle. Prescription medications such as zolpidem, commonly sold under the brand name Ambien, can provide short-term relief. However, the Department of Veterans Affairs is encouraging veterans to consider a treatment designed to address the thoughts and behaviors contributing to insomnia instead of simply sedating them. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which is known as CBT-I, is available through the VA.…

Bans on so-called assault weapons aren’t new. They also don’t work. The federal ban, which *sunsetted* in 2006, was touted as causing a downturn in the homicide rate, but mostly until people realized that the homicide rate was already trending downward, and then it continued to do so after the ban sunset. In other words, it accomplished nothing. Nevertheless, anti-gunners keep pushing them, and now their luck has run out.As reported on Tuesday by a dashing and handsome writer here at Bearing Arms–or, more accurately, yours truly, who is arguably neither of those things–the Supreme…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz while using a route not approved by Iran, state television in Tehran reported Wednesday. The vessel was identified as a foreign container ship, with no other details. The report appeared aimed at underlining Tehran’s claims to control the strait, which the world has long considered an international waterway. It saw a fifth of all oil and natural gas pass through it in peacetime. Iran has used its ability to choke off the waterway as a key source of leverage since the war began, disrupting global…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new Defense Policy Board includes former elected officials, conservative policy figures, defense technology investors, China hawks, nuclear policy specialists and longtime Republican operatives. The Defense Policy Board was established in 1985 to provide independent strategic advice to the defense secretary, deputy secretary and undersecretary for policy. Its work can involve long-term defense planning, force modernization, regional defense policy and other national security issues referred by Pentagon leadership. That advisory role makes the board’s membership important. Hegseth removed members of several Pentagon advisory boards in 2025 after a review meant to align those panels with the department’s…
A U.S.-brokered agreement between Israel and Lebanon is being presented as a step toward ending months of war. It may also leave the hardest facts unresolved: Israeli forces remain on Lebanese territory, many in Lebanon have been killed or displaced, and Lebanon is being asked to disarm Hezbollah before Israel fully withdraws. The current conflict began on March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets and drones into northern Israel after U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Hezbollah said the attack was retaliation for the strikes on Iran and for Israel’s continuing military operations inside…
A historian and podcast host drew more than 1.1 million impressions on Instagram after criticizing the White House’s Freedom 250 website over what she described as AI-generated images and historically inaccurate depictions of women connected to the American Revolution.

The White House’s Freedom 250 page describes the initiative as part of the national buildup to July 4, 2026, when the United States…
