For government and government trained killers are about death, destruction and coercion. They are the Hannibal Lecters of our daily experience. They squeeze our wallets, they regulate us, they imprison some of us, kill others...
Ukrainian troops are improving rapidly, but there are some key areas that will need U.S. Army assistance in the weeks to come, said Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, head of U.S. Army Europe.
If you ask me, Chris Kyle was the victim of a sadistic and out-of-control federal leviathan that respects NOTHING. Not the rule of law. Not liberty--at home or abroad. Not family--our own or the families of other nations. Not constitutional governmen
The writer who alerted Mish about his concerns stated: It is obvious to me that our strategy is the Balkanization of the various hot spots in the world, Syria, Ukraine, Iraq and so forth.
"American Sniper," like the films pumped out in Germany during the Nazi era to exalt deformed values of militarism, racial self-glorification and state violence, is a piece of propaganda, a tawdry commercial for the crimes of empire.
These developments, in turn, eventually led to the Great Depression, the Welfare State and Keynesian economics, World War II, the holocaust, the Cold War, the permanent Warfare State and its military-industrial complex.
The PNAC foresees the annihilation of the Middle East, the pocketing of Europe by implanting puppets, and finally the subjugation of Russia & China. The final ascent of a Washington directed One World Order awaits us all.
During the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2014, U.S. Special Operations forces (SOF) deployed to 133 countries--roughly 70% of the nations on the planet--according to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bockholt...
The official importer of Russian-made AKs, RWC Group, announced at SHOT Show today that they would be opening an AK factory in the United States later this year. The new US manufacturer is called Kalashnikov USA.
The group will aim to standardize the Pentagon's 1033 program, through which it gives surplus military gear to police departments, nominally for the "war on drugs."
The American public and its political leadership will do anything for the military except take it seriously. The result is a chickenhawk nation in which careless spending and strategic folly combine to lure America into endless wars it can't win.
This was a banner year for waste. Not just because the Pentagon flushed so much cash down the toilet, but also because the public learned about so many of the failures. All this while the Defense Department warned that sequestration would harm Americ
Whitehall officials are now examining whether recruitment to the secretive listening agency could be opened up to graduates who would ultimately like to set up their own companies or work in the commercial IT sector.

For more than a century, the US has used landmines, cluster munitions and other highly explosive ordnance during conflicts around the world, and sold or given these deadly weapons to dozens of other nations to use them.
Traditional defense contractors like General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Booz Allen are increasingly turning to HHS for business, thanks to cutbacks in defense and the explosion in ObamaCare spending.
Supreme Foodservice GmbH and Supreme Foodservice FZE pleaded guilty today to major fraud against the United States in connection with a contract to provide food and water to the U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan, the Justice Department announced tod
Legislation by the US House would provide (pending a vote in the Senate) a de facto green light to the US president and commander in chief to initiate--without congressional approval--military confrontation with Russia.
Can a career Washington technocrat break into US President Obama's tight-knit inner circle and oversee the world's most powerful military? It looks like former Pentagon official Ashton Carter is about to find out.
When the Pentagon's managers and their forces secure weapons and systems based on these advances, they will be in a position to become far more totalitarian than today. They will be able to send robots into battle. They will gain
Iraqi troops and small numbers of Syrian rebels have hardly been alone in receiving American military support. Yet few in our world have paid much attention to everything Washington has done to keep the region awash in weaponry.
Mr. Hagel, a Republican and a combat veteran who was skeptical about the Iraq War, came in to manage the Afghanistan combat withdrawal and the shrinking Pentagon budget in the era of budget sequestrations.

As the chart shows, defense spending has almost doubled in the past decade in current dollar terms and will continue to grow in spite of automatic cuts set by the BCA. Clarifying these figures reveals that sequester cuts do not warrant the fears of p
When the nation has spent freely to support wars on multiple fronts, prosecutors have found plentiful targets: defendants who bill for services they do not provide, those who steer lucrative contracts to select business partners and those who use bri
"Star Wars"-style laser blasts are moving from the stuff of science fiction to science reality.
Scientists have given us a first glimpse of what a real laser bullet could look like.
Arms contractors are "trying to exploit the crisis," -- It appears they're succeeding this regard, as investors are greedily buying up stocks of weapons manufacturers. For example, Lockheed Martin's share prices have risen from $146 a share a
One of the most disastrous effects of America's post-World War II embrace of a permanent warfare-state apparatus has been the extreme dependency on domestic military bases that dot towns and cities across America.
