Those briefing the president pointed out that Peterson is already home to Northern Command and NORAD. Locating yet another combatant command in the same geographic footprint made little strategic sense. Don’t put all your generals in one basket.

What Tuberville’s moves threaten to reveal is that senators don’t actually evaluate our nation’s military leaders. Nor do most of their staff. For decades, the Senate has simply coasted along, rubber stamping the nominees from the Pentagon without a second thought.

In 2022, something changed and, for the first time, the U.S. Army missed its recruiting goals. Not by a little. The Army came up short by 25%, or 15,000 recruits. That’s an entire division.

Coach needs just one Democrat on the Armed Services committee to swing the vote in his favor. Although staff is signaling Manchin is opposed, take it from this former staffer that anything is possible when the 25 senators of the committee gather in a closed-door session amid the Gilded-Age finery of the Senate Russell Building.

I grew to love it, though. City time is like dog years: A year in New York equals 7 in Alabama. So when I moved home last April, I had some reentry problems after spending 42 years as a New Yorker.

We slept in on a beautiful Charleston morning, eventually making our way to the famous Hominy Grill for some grits. Today was the day. The day I finally made it to all 48 states. So hammer down, we roared out of Charleston and steamed towards Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville is a gorgeous mountain town, full
On the way to South Carolina’s coastal gem, I pulled off the road at the Carolina Cider Company to take a break. Today’s driving habits, when it comes to pitstops, involve McDonald’s, Taco Bell, or a drive-through of some description. Then drivers hop back on the interstate and continue their frantic drive to wherever their
Some say General Sherman (that bastard) didn’t torch Savannah because it was “too beautiful to burn.” Others claim Savannah’s lack of resistance and strategic import to the Yankees made burning the old girl down pointless. Whichever you believe, it’s hard to deny the city’s charms. Nearly 150 years later, Savannah remains a splendid place to
