Military Effectiveness Should Be Determined By The War Department Not Judges

There are hard truths in military life that a humane society may dislike but cannot repeal. The first is that military service is not an entitlement. It is a calling, yes; an honor, certainly. But it is also a profession whose members must be prepared to deploy, fight, endure privation, and, if necessary, die in ...

Pentagon Hawk Steps Down Ahead of NATO Summit Raises Questions About Future Direction

Sharp personnel changes within NATO's military command structure in Europe signal that the alliance is unlikely to undertake any major offensive moves near Russia's borders. Another Pentagon Hawk Resigns Secretary of War Pete Hegseth secured the resignation of General Christopher Donahue, commander of US Army forces in Europe and Africa. The dismissal was fully coordinated with President Donald Trump. The first reason is obvious. Hegseth is operating within the strict framework of the White House's election platform — forcing European countries to pay for their own defense while removing American hawkish” generals from key positions. Twenty-four such generals have already been dismissed, with the latest being General Randy George, who stepped down as Chief of Staff of the Army.

America’s defense renaissance depends on manufacturers you’ve never heard of

We all know that Washington, D.C., has spent the past several years debating defense budgets, supply chain resilience, and industrial policy.

‘They hate America’: Disappointing left-wing take US freedoms for granted

Heritage Senior Advisor and Research Fellow Allen Mendenhall has accused the left of “hating” America and for taking the nation’s freedoms for granted. “I think it’s a divided America, and I think the red state-blue state divide has become even more bifurcated in the last decade,” Mr Mendenhall told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “It’s not something that I see easing up anytime soon, but I also see a lot more pride – it’s different because, in my view, I feel as if the left has begun to despise America’s traditions and despise America’s culture and to treat it as a long train of abuses. “They really dislike America and a lot of them even hate America. “They’re not going to be expected to celebrate America, and that’s disappointing because the very governing institutions and traditions that we have are what allow them to freely express themselves in that public way and they enjoy all these freedoms to hate America and it’s because these freedoms exist, and I believe they take them for granted.”

Security must extend beyond defense in fragmented world: ex-US ambassador

Former US Ambassador to South Korea Harry Harris said traditional notions of defense are no longer enough, arguing that security must extend beyond military cooperation to include the economy, technology and supply chains.
