Number of US carriers going down, down, down
Saddam's missing Air Force found in Serbia (and here I thought we had shot it all down)
Hey so everyone's upgrading their nuclear arsenals but us...
On my radar: FPRI's Webcast on Afghan Police Reform
"...the enemy is not hiding, but they are in trenches, bunkers and fighting positions that extend into depth. The enemy owns the terrain."

Video: Beats Wikipedia. Found this video while doing a search on the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, the largest fight in Africa next to El Alamein. Much of it is stock footage (and some embarassing Top Gun T-38/MiG shots) and it's openly biased in favor of the SADF, but points for innovation and figuring out a way to work Manowar into an online history lesson. Exit question: who do you root for? Commies or apartheid South Africa?
