Gen. CQ Brown, nominee for Joint Chiefs chairman, vows to keep politics out of military

Solidarity or squabbling: 5 things to watch at NATO’s summit

NATO is seeking to give Kyiv fresh munitions for its counteroffensive, and gauge the impact of June’s aborted mutiny by Wagner Group head Yevgeniy Prigozhin on Russia’s leadership and operations.

President Biden has authorized the use of Cluster Bombs for Ukraine to use. They are deadly bombs. When they hit they spread out many small bombs to kill anything near them.

Is this a right thing to do? Actually they have been used in Iraq, and Afghanistan. There is nothing illegal about them unless they are used on civilians. These will be used to hit the trenches of the Russian front.

I was honored when I went to get my COVID vaccine a couple years ago. I was in a huge line waiting my turn when a National Guard soldier came up to me and told me to follow him. He took me to a spot where I was next to get my shot. Probably was because I was wearing an Army hat, and was using a cane.

The military is getting weaker, because not enough civilians are enlisting. This will become a problem very quickly if this doesn’t turn around. They may have to start the draft again. The military changed my life in a very positive way. Please talk to some of your civilian friends to check into enlisting. They won’t regret it.

Just finished an interview with the daughter of a WWII nurse. Some gripping thoughts there. The nurse, Velma Sundet was a hero to many soldiers during the war. She saved many lives.
