After three years of complaints and debate, the Army has scrapped its move to have a physical fitness test that is gender and age neutral, and will now allow women and older soldiers to pass while meeting some reduced standards. The decision comes after a study by the Rand research organization confirmed that men were passing the new six-event fitness test at a much higher rate than women and that older soldiers were also struggling with their scores in the expanded, more difficult test developed in 2019. The change, however, will affect only the regular fitness test that soldiers take...

When will the guerilla war against Russian occupation start? Will the Ukrainian Govt retreat to Lviv? Will Russia invade western Ukraine too? Two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, and still no ‘decapitation’ of the Ukrainian government, no city captured except Kherson (which no non-Ukrainian had ever heard of before the war), and maybe 2,000 military dead on each side. It’s not exactly a stalemate, since the Russians have more tanks, more artillery and more air power, and they have not yet used them as aggressively as they might. So, we can use this (relative) pause in the fighting to examine...

CommentaryThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked a flurry of social media postings, semi-informed news media articles, and much speculation.The Fog of War has extra dimensions to it, but remember some simple home truths about the Russian Army.

EMMANUEL MACRON has renewed his calls for a collective EU military force in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The French President has long pushed for a collective EU army, saying back in 2018 that European citizens could not be fully protected without a “true, European army”. The UK has always gone up against such plans, even prior to the Brexit vote. Along with a number of the Baltic states, the UK has argued that an EU army could undermine the efficiency - and infringe on the jurisdiction - of NATO. Speaking on French national television on Wednesday...
