Did Radar tell you this article was on the way?”M*A*S*H” is one of the great stories on television. The CBS series ran from 1972 to 1983 and evolved from sophomoric humor to some cutting political commentary, all without losing the plot.According to The Washington Post, some of the most-viewed series finales of all time are “Friends,” with 52.5 million viewers; “Seinfeld,” with 76.3 million viewers; and “Cheers,” with 80.4 million viewers. And then there’s “M*A*S*H,” with an untouchable 106 million viewers.We’ll never forget the show’s lovable characters, but how about the vehicles that made the mobile surgical hospital tick? Let’s fire…

SecDef used his unprecedented meeting to unveil 10 personnel and due-process initiatives. Hundreds of admirals, generals, and senior enlisted leaders sat mostly silent as Pete Hegseth strode a stage at Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, inveighing against “fat” troops and leaders and announcing initiatives around physical fitness and grooming standards, the inspector general process, and mandatory training. Some of the initiatives flow from reviews Hegseth has ordered since taking the job in January. Others take aim at processes that affect or have affected the secretary himself. For example, he called for a review of the inspector general process, which enables troops to…

Every minute matters during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Survival rates drop by about 10% per minute without defibrillation, making immediate action critical. The Philips HeartStart Home AED Defibrillator is designed for everyday people, giving families the confidence and ability to respond quickly before emergency services arrive. I have been an owner of the Philips HeartStart Defibrillator since 2016. I highly recommend it for those who are older and can afford one. I’m in my 60s. Although I have no known heart issues, you never know. Keep reading for “heart-stopping” statistics (pun intended). According to the FDA’s Summary of Safety and…

As the cameras rolled, Stacy Pearsall sat facing three former POWs as they disclosed intimate details about their ordeals.Pearsall did not recoil at the revelations. Rather, she made eye contact and listened, determined to make sure that her fellow military veterans felt heard. That has been Pearsall’s mission since she developed the concept and began hosting the PBS show “After Action” – which involves candid conversations with veterans about their experiences before, during and after their military service.“[We allow] people a safe space to just talk,” Pearsall told Military.com. “Being able to talk to someone who understands, without having to…

Taurus has released the new Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo, a new model in the 9mm GX4 family. The GX4 Strike Bravo was developed in partnership with Strike Industries and combines compact-carry performance with enhanced tactical stability to deliver accuracy and confidence at longer ranges than are normally possible with a common defensive pistol.

While HK certainly isn’t the first major gun manufacturer to roll out a slim, polymer-frame striker-fired carry pistol, no one can say that the German gunmaker didn’t take its time and develop this offering with some careful diligence. As a relatively new gun that has been out for less thana year, most holster options reflect a modern market segment and are made from Kydex to cater to modern carry styles. Here are a few different holster options for your Heckler & Kock CC9. PHLster Enigma Express (MSRP: $154) PHLster’s Enigma Express concealment system caters to the HK CC9 pistol via…

The late Louis Awerbuck taught that surviving a gunfight is 95-percent luck. We can’t control the attacker’s skills, cunning or the stray bullet that has our name on it. We may react perfectly, moving tactically as we empty our magazine into the threat’s vital areas, each a mortal wound. But, in that dying reflex, he or she may fire and fatally wound us—unfortunately, all ties in a gunfight go to the other guy. While control in a gunfight might be limited, don’t despair. Our purview of control includes our skill development, familiarity with self-defense law (permissions and boundary limits of…

We were belly-crawling down a dirt road when Newt paused, raised his binos, and whispered, “I think they’re whitetails.” I couldn’t see anything, and my hands were too cold to break out the binos. It was a sharp November morning during the beginning of Nebraska’s week-long rifle season. A mountain boy from Colorado, I was entirely out of my element in Western Nebraska, where I’d come to spot and stalk rutting whitetails—and hopefully kill my first buck. Pale morning light had just begun to wash the cut cornfield.“Stay low. We’ve got to close the gap,” said Newt. “I think I…

Whitetail hunters love to argue about which state holds the biggest and baddest bucks. But which one is really the best?Well, a lot of what makes hunting ground “the best” depends on your personal preferences. Do you like big bucks, and you cannot lie? Maybe you just like to hunt around fewer people. Or maybe you like to feel like a kid in a candy shop, surrounded by opportunities for deer of all ages. Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody? Maybe you like to manage a food plot and be able to set up…
