It appears soldiers will have to wait a few more months before getting issued the Army’s new heads-up display. The Army has delayed its scheduled fielding date for the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), the game-changing goggles Microsoft developed for the service based on the company’s HoloLens technology. While the futuristic goggles were expected to be fielded to soldiers this year, the Army office charged with overseeing the project, Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, announced on Thursday that the first unit would not be equipped with them until next September. A delay in the IVAS timeline was first reported by...

On Thursday afternoon, September 30, at 3:45 PM Eastern, the 40 to 60 agents from the FBI, DOJ and local police raided retired Army Ranger Jeremy Brown’s home and arrested Jeremy in Florida. The charge was misdemanor trespassing from an event he attended 10 months earlier. We were notified by his family and an attorney following the raid. The FBI searched Jeremy’s home, RV, and trailer.

Will no one rid us of this troublesome A-10 ‘Warthog’? The United States Air Force (USAF) has spent almost two-thirds of its existence as an independent service trying to get rid of the A-10, one of its most well-known aircraft. But has the Air Force finally given up? It is odd to think that a fifty-year-old aircraft might have more job security now than at any time in its long history, but it does seem that the Warthog now has a relatively secure space in the USAF fleet.

The company said it won a $823 million contract to provide the Army with its Gotham platform, which is “an operating system for defense decision making and is specifically designed to connect the dots between disparate sources,” Palantir said in a statement. Palantir said the platform will “support Army Intelligence users worldwide with a globally federated Intelligence data fabric and analytics platform spanning multiple security classifications.”

Parameters is the quarterly publication of the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Earlier this year on the Real Clear Defense website, I wrote an article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Parameters. I praised the journal and its editors for publishing important articles by both military and civilian writers. I noted that past issues had featured the works of Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Maxwell Taylor, Sidney Hook, Guenter Lewy, S.L.A. Marshall, Michael Howard, and Edward Luttwak. But now it seems that the “woke revolution” has infiltrated the War College with the latest issue of Parameters that features an article...

Do not fear, God is with us. Turn back to Him and trust in Him. THAT is the solution to all of these problems. Read this account of the King of Aram looking for Elisha to kill him because Elisha, through God's communication, is telling spies where the King of Aram is at all times. Also notice, once the army sent by the King of Aram is subdued, God shows His mercy by not having them killed. WE are completely different from the other side. 2 Kings 6:8 Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he counseled...

A high-ranking US Army officer has resigned and given up his pension after almost 20 years of service because of what he called President Biden’s “unethical, immoral and tyrannical” vaccine mandate. Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague said in a resignation letter tweeted by his wife, Katie Phipps Hague, that he was resigning from his 19-year career primarily because of the Pentagon requirement that all US military members be jabbed by mid-September. Katie Hague said in the tweet that her hubby was “walking away from all he’s worked for and believed in since he was an ROTC kid at UGA.” Hague,...

Two active-duty staff sergeants of US Armed Forces—one Army, one Marine—filed a class-action lawsuit on August 17 against the leaders of the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for being forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine despite having had and recovered from COVID and acquiring natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2. The lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Staff Sergeant Daniel Robert, US Army, and Staff Sergeant Holli Mulvihill, USMC, maintain US Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin “ignored the DOD’s own regulations and created an entirely new definition of ‘full...

EXCLUSIVE - The former U.S. Army major and self-described “soldier of Allah” behind the deadly 2009 massacre at Fort Hood cheered the resurgent Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in a letter obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner. Writing from death row at Fort Leavenworth, Nidal Hasan boasted “We Have Won” and congratulated the Taliban. Hasan, who gunned down 14 people and wounded 43 more, urged the nascent terrorist government to implement its brand of brutal oppression under the guise of religion. “Congratulations on your victory over those who hate for the Laws of All-Mighty God to be supreme on the land,”...

Taliban fighters are feeling angry and betrayed Wednesday after discovering that Afghan National Army helicopters abandoned at Kabul’s airport have been rendered inoperable by departing U.S. troops, according to a report. An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hanger on the military side of the airport said in a video that the terrorist group "expected the Americans to leave helicopters like this in one piece for their use." "When I said to them, ‘why do you think that the Americans would have left everything operational for you’? They said because we believe it is a national asset and we are...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday blocked the names of the 13 US service members killed in the Kabul blast from being read after a moment of silence on the House floor.“How badly do Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats want to cover up this Afghanistan debacle? They just blocked Members of Congress from reading the names of the service members who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan last week.” Congressman Gimenez said on Tuesday.“Don’t you think our military deserves better?” he added.https://twitter.com/RepCarlos/status/1432751530516652033Rep.

A woman who is a servicewoman under the name of “Bronson” released a TikTok video bragging about how the American people must submit or they will “become the enemy” in an impending “martial law” scenario. “Understand that if active-duty military actually get deployed within the United States, that weapon is not just pointed at other people, other countries. It is pointed at you. If you do not get in your house when I tell you to, you become the enemy. Martial Law!” she said. Her TikTok account can be found under the handle, @nuggets_n_chicken.
