War

Imprisoned 9/11 conspirator claims Saudi princes discussed shooting down Air Force One with terrorists.

Both parties want to grow the war budget.

"As the Post puts it:
"There’s broad consensus in both parties that the military needs more money to modernize its forces and meet its responsibilities in a world that seems to have grown more chaotic and dangerous in the past 12 months. It’s unclear, however, how Congress and the White House can come to an agreement on where to find the additional funds."
No one in Washington is willing to admit that the rising chaos is a direct result of the US "meeting its responsibilities" to conquer Iraq, occupy Afghanistan, and undertake regime change operations in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. That’s because they all had a hand in it."

That post quote is funny, as if all chaos and danger magically appeared and wasn't the result of intervention.

Five out of 26 women complete Army ranger course, all officers.

"The army considers its two-week Army National Guard Ranger Training and Assessment Course to be a reliable litmus test for which soldiers are likely to have a chance at passing Ranger School. The army hopes that 40 women will pass the preparatory course between now and April."

They're not rangers yet.
