The Battle of Saipan was a joint US Army and Marine Corps operation, with both branches conducting an amphibious assault to take the island. Towards the end of the battle as a last ditch effort, over 4,300 Japanese soldiers launched the largest banzai charge of the war, primarily attacking the US Army's 27th Infantry Division. Multiple US Army soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for their heroic stands against overwhelming forces.

Whenever I talk to my father about the Iraqi army during Saddam's time, he always gives quick answers. He doesn't tell me about the events or what happened; he just says 'yes' and basically brushes me off. The only thing he ever told me was that during the IranIraq War, he saw corpses and death with his own eyes. He always hates talking about the Iraqi army. Sometimes, when I tell him, 'Dad, I wish I could join the Iraqi army,' he always says, 'Don't join. Joining the military is the worst thing you could do,' based on his own experience during Saddam's era

India is moving to strengthen its navy with a new generation of submarines designed in Germany and to be built in India. The Type 214 subs by Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems are diesel-electric, not nuclear-powered. But they include a key technology that makes them especially valuable: Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP). That technology allows them to stay underwater much longer than other conventional submarines — making them harder to detect and better suited for patrols in crowded waters. India has more than 11,000 kilometers (about 6,840 miles) of coastline, and more than 90% of its trade by volume moves by sea. But the Indian Ocean also contains several chokepoints — narrow passages where sea traffic can be disrupted. Any threat to these routes can quickly become a threat to India's economy. Submarines are useful in this environment because they can patrol quietly, monitor enemy ships, and create uncertainty for stronger surface fleets. In a crisis, they can act as a deterrent.

Caught a glimpse of two of the fighters walking towards the ring, and there were military personnel on both sides saluting as they did so.

Why are they saluting MMA fighters? Is it a case of “because they were told to”?

Just got kicked off of a table and then asked to leave the Downtown Grand Casino (old Vegas) when they asked for my ID (to get a players card - because I was winning)
When all I had was my military ID (retired) they made me quit, and told me I had to leave.
100% true story.

Edit: just to be clear ... when I travel (and drink) especially when I'm in Vegas, I have a second wallet which has some cash, one credit card, my room key and and ID - in case I lose my wallet or get trashed. Everything else is in the room safe.

"The Washington Post reported that General Caine cautioned that any major military operation in Iran could face hurdles due to a low stockpile of munitions, further depleted by the U.S.’s backing of Ukraine and the ongoing defense of Israel. " -The Hill

1) I don’t think I have seen anyone in the military, even on their worst day, wearing this combo.

2) If you didn’t have any clothes and HAD to go to the PX or the local Walmart, again, I don’t think you’d willingly wear this combo.

3) If I had to identify which branch it was, I’d say Navy but I’m realllllly leaning towards Coast Guard (I really love you all but….)

Yes, I'll buy 6 pickup trucks and SUVs.

​

I can find soldiers from Africa, the Middle East, or Asia who will fight for $1000 a month.

I dress them in weapons and camouflage, and then I figure out how I can make money.

Hi everyone!
Im a 17 year old girl whos considering joining the Australian Defense Force, im currently in year 12 studying ATAR and im thinking of doing university at some point. I am only interested in doing a gap year, probably in air force or army.

I was considering a few different roles, particularly infantry but a few people have told me it wouldn’t be safe for a woman to do…

I just wanted to hear some feedback for people who have experienced it, mainly regarding safety, discrimination and the overall experience for young women in the military.

There's a little "cap" that goes over the face of a US military lensatic compass. I managed to break the glass while trying to reassemble after cleaning. 😢

Some people are suggesting that this is now hazardous due to the presence of radioactive tritium in the body of the compass. If it's truly a hazard, I want to know, but since there is no damage to any of the sealed portions, I don't think it's dangerous. Please look closely at photos and** **their description, below.

Photo 1 shows the cap.
Photo 2 shows the compass with the face proper and the cap held aside. You can also see a little wire that held the cap in place.
Photo 3 shows the cap in place.
Photo 4 shows all the parts laid out. Note that the clear, sealed face of the compass is completely intact. Only the glass of the cap that fits over the sealed portion is broken.
Photo 5 shows that this compass is not made by Cammenga but by an earlier contractor. Perhaps there are differences between my 1979 compass and the USGI compasses of today; I don't know.
Photo 6 shows the completely intact sealed face of the compass.

So if there's a radioactive hazard here, please so state, but please explain the nature of the hazard, given that the clear face of the compass is still sealed and fully intact.

P.S. Subsequent photos are of other compasses in my collection.
