The U.S. military killed nearly a dozen people in a small speedboat allegedly carrying narcotics from Venezuela, President Trump said Tuesday at the White House, echoed shortly afterward by a tweet from his secretary of state. Trump posted video of the lethal encounter on his social media account, claiming U.S. troops “positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility” and carried out the strike “while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.” “The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action,” the president wrote, adding, “Please let this serve…

Humans like to have things in orderly fashion, “Tomorrow, this will happen and I need to do this about it.” And, we tend to extend that to dealing with problems and emergencies. “If I do X, then Y will happen, and Z will be the results. Of course that is often optimistic thinking. We make plans and plans get ruined. Nowhere is that truer than when dealing with a criminal attack. We buy a defensive handgun and seek out some professional training. The instructor teaches us some of the defensive shooting skills and we do well at them. We’re good…

Whether they’re pump-action shotguns, semi-automatic handguns, revolvers, bolt-action, lever-action or semi-automatic rifles, virtually every style and type of modern firearm involves some moving parts which rub up against each other inside of said firearm. Gun oils and lubricants are applications appropriate for firearms that help reduce wear and needless friction between their parts. Even though many modern firearms are designed to function without too much lubricant, a little can go a long way. Just be careful not to overdo it as excess lube can attract dirt, dust and debris. Firearms lubricants can easily turn into a serious rabbit hole. Ask…

Ukraine has reached a critical milestone, the country’s Ministry of Defense announced Monday: more than one million drones delivered to military units since January, with two million expected by the end of the year. The achievement provides a vivid illustration of a counterintuitive phenomenon: increasing the speed of innovation and deployment of new technologies may not result in any increase in battlefield gains.“Those one-way attack drones are not going to gain air superiority, and they don’t have air superiority, and that’s really one of the key attributes of the conflict in Russia-Ukraine, is no one does,” Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, commander of …

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that U.S. Space Command’s headquarters will be relocated to Huntsville, Alabama, following through on a move made in 2021 late in his first term in office that was ultimately overturned by a Biden-era decision to keep it in Colorado.A person familiar with the decision confirmed the expected announcement to Military.com on Tuesday ahead of a Trump press event scheduled for the afternoon. CBS News and The Associated Press were among the first to report the president would make the headquarters move to Alabama public, and a post by the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service…

If you’re anything like me, you’re already obsessing over this fall’s waterfowl season—and plotting where you’d like to hunt. One of my favorite aspects of chasing migratory waterfowl is that you don’t need to go to far-flung wilderness locations to hunt them, though you can definitely have success doing so. But because birds migrate and there are often plentiful wetlands near metropolitan areas, you can have plenty of success targeting them in and around cities. These are some of my favorite optionsFor the purposes of this list, I chose metropolitan areas that have at least 100,000 residents. This means that…
