NEWS & POLITICS
UN warns of ISIS attack within the year. This is such a shocker. A terrorist organization might be planning an attack somewhere in the world? and that might join up with Al-Qaeda? I almost had a heart attack.
President Trump reportedly wants all troops out of Afghanistan. We've all heard and seen this play before. It's tried and true. And although I support Trump, this is a political move if I've ever seen one. Float the idea of pulling all the troops out of a current conflict will always gain support in some demographics.
Hong Kong Police fire tear gas into protest over extradition of accused violates to mainland China for trial. The protesters are using hit and run tactics.
Russian Police detain 800 in an opposition rally regarding free elections that Putin's opposition thinks they can win.

MILITARY
ARMY
Plans to scuttle watercraft are scuttled, $40 million dollars worth of new body armor in the pipeline, and this shit is cool. Think armored sculpted combat shirts instead of add-on pieces.
MARINES

NAVY
In an extension of the deadly game of cat and mouse we play with our age old adversaries the Russians (loose paraphrase from Hunt for Red October - points if you read that in Connery's voice) a Russian Bear crossed into the Alaskan ADIZ. While still in International air, I bet a few people perked up a bit.
AIRFORCE
The AirForce to stage a one day tactical stand down to address rise in suicide rates. Regardless of which service you hail from or your personal situation, suicides are a very real problem, and no-one should feel like that course is the only course. Pay attention to the signs people.
JOKE OF THE DAY
The lady golfer came in from her round on the course. The golf pro asked her how she did.
"Terrible. I got stung by a wasp!"
"Where'd it sting you?"
"Between the first and second hole."
"Well first of all, your stance is too wide."
