A ready-to-eat meal (MRE) is designed to give troops the calories and nutrients they need when a hot meal isn’t available. Each MRE contains about 1,250 calories, enough to provide roughly one-third of a service member’s recommended daily energy and nutritional needs in the field. But that calculation assumes the service member eats everything inside. In the field, some troops shed components to lighten their load. Others have little time to stop, heat an entrée or finish everything they carry. In the field, some troops shed components to lighten their load. Others have little time to stop, heat an entrée…

One of the many issues with gun-free zones is that they disarm people not just on a piece of property, but on the entire path from where they leave their gun to the door itself. Even if a school, for example, could guarantee safety inside the building and anywhere on the property, which they can’t, there’s literally no way they can guarantee it for people to and from the school. So it’s a terrible shame that a Florida principal was arrested for having a gun in his privately owned vehicle recently.The school board, however, seems…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump won’t say whether he thinks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be reelected when voters head to the polls later this month. The president, who sat down with Time magazine for a 75-minute interview published Thursday, sidestepped multiple questions about Netanyahu’s reelection bid. Israelis are set to vote Oct. 27, in the first national elections since the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. The absence of an endorsement is a setback for the Likud party politician, who has billed his tight ties to Trump as a selling point for keeping him in power. “I…
One thing that has been concerning lately is the way a lot of people have been open to political violence, particularly from the Left. They’ve engaged in plenty of it, over the last handful of years, and there was little evidence that they intended the second Trump administration to be any different. Well, if that were the case, they might have started off strong, but now things have declined.Namely, support for it has gone down according to a recent study.Despite an increasingly volatile and fraught political climate in the United States, researchers have found a…
LONDON (AP) — Police on Thursday arrested a dual U.K.-Iranian national on suspicion of plotting a terror attack following a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England that British authorities have linked to Tehran. The 27-year-old man was arrested in London on Thursday, and police have searched two properties in the U.K. capital, Counter Terrorism Policing said in a statement. A 26-year-old British national was interviewed by police “under caution,” which means the interview was recorded and can be used in future prosecutions. On Sunday, five men, all British nationals in their 20s and from London, were…
KUOPIO, Finland (AP) — In a civil defense shelter hewn into rock, behind doors designed to withstand a nuclear or biological attack, two Finnish conscripts wearing hazmat suits and breathing masks are measuring radiation levels as they take part in an exercise to turn a cave into a place of safety for thousands of people. Inside, in what is normally a sports hall, hundreds of people are sleeping overnight on trestle beds. More than 2,000 people including volunteers and students are taking part in the biggest civil defense exercise in Europe since the end of World War II. In the…

Stephanie Fussell is one of the leading minds at the intersection of science, technology and aircraft, working for the past decade to better understand and provide guidance on how extended reality (XR) can reshape workforce training, aviation and defense in a safe and effective manner—with humans at the center of leading the charge. She’s contributed to the FAA’s first formally published guidance on using XR in qualified commercial flight simulation training devices, as part of a broader framework for integrating virtual, augmented and mixed reality into commercial pilot training. Fussell, a scientist at Aptima, has spent years researching how extended…

Although the pain that goes with a 100% disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs is jarring and life-altering for a veteran, some benefits of having one often go unnoticed. Many times, a monthly VA disability compensation is just the tip of the spear. For homeowners, some of the most valuable ones are buried deep in state property tax laws. States like Texas, Florida, and New Jersey offer qualifying disabled veteran exemptions that can wipe out property taxes on a primary residence. Other states also have their own state-level reductions, and some are available to those with a less…

Ever wish you could talk to a deceased loved one again, hear the essence of their voice, listen to their stories, and imagine their lives from before you knew them? U.S. Army veteran Wilson Feliz created the ‘Chapter3Five’ app to bring the dead back to life. “I thought to myself, so many veterans and so many people grieve and are lonely. A lot of the suicide rates among veterans come from the fact that they feel like they’re alone, and they have nobody to talk to,” Feliz, the app’s founder, said in an interview with Military.com. “So what I did…
