$142 billion in weapons and not a detail in sight—Trump’s Saudi arms deal looks more like a blank check for defense contractors than a plan for security.

The White House announced Monday what it’s calling the largest arms sale in U.S. history—a $142 billion defense deal with Saudi Arabia. But beyond the headline number, the agreement is raising more questions than it answers. The Trump administration says the deal will include “state-of-the-art...

Not every war story makes the news—but at the 50th anniversary of Soldier of Fortune, the silence said everything.

Not every war story makes the news—but at the 50th anniversary of Soldier of Fortune, the silence said everything.

They came from different corners of the world, many meeting face-to-face for the first time. They’d known each other by name, by reputation, through debriefs and whispers carried on desert winds. But when they finally gathered at The Four Fields—an Irish pub tucked near U.S. Special Operations C...

Another $60 million Navy jet just plunged into the Red Sea—second in a week, third from the same carrier.

The U.S. Navy lost another fighter jet in the Red Sea this week, marking the second aircraft accident aboard the USS Harry S. Truman in less than ten days. According to Navy officials, the most recent incident occurred on Monday, when an F/A-18F Super Hornet crashed into the sea following a failed l...

Pentagon officials admit the U.S. can strike with drones—but can't stop them. Over 350 drone incursions hit military bases last year, and defenses are still lagging.

A soldier uses a Drone Defender counter-small unmanned aerial system device during a training exercise. Top Pentagon officials told Congress on Tuesday that the U.S. military is not adequately prepared to protect its bases—at home or overseas—from the growing threat of drone attacks. The admissi...

A drone boat just shot down a Russian fighter jet—welcome to the new rules of war, where cheap, unmanned, and deadly beats bloated, manned, and over-budget.

It skimmed across the Black Sea, low in the water and quiet as a whisper, packing a pair of Sidewinders. On May 2, a Ukrainian Magura V7 unmanned surface vessel—basically a drone boat w...

The Navy just outsourced ship repairs to South Korea—because American shipyards are so full, even warfighters need a waiting list.

Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan tours Hyundai Heavy Industries in the Republic of Korea on Apr. 30, 2025. When the Secretary of the Navy makes a trip halfway across the globe to walk the decks of foreign shipyards, it's not tourism. It’s triage. This week, Navy Secretary John Phelan landed in...

The Navy’s $7.5 billion stealth destroyer was supposed to fire railguns and rule the seas—today it sails with empty launchers and a mountain of regrets.

USS Zumwalt If you want to see how long it takes the U.S. Navy to build a questionable surface ship, just follow the hull number: DDG-1000. That’s the USS Zumwalt, a stealth destroyer that was supposed to change naval warfare—and mostly ended up changing plans. The Navy began dreaming it up in 2...

We can’t build a jet or fire a missile without Chinese scandium and yttrium—and we’re pretending that’s not a problem? That’s not strategy. That’s surrender.

The United States military can't fight a full-scale war without Chinese permission. That’s not a warning—it’s a fact. Every high-tech weapons system we rely on—from F-35s to hypersonics to the targeting systems on our damn drones—runs on rare earth elements. And right now, according the U....

The U.S. Air Force has begun ground testing for its next-generation drone program, marking a major step in its push to integrate artificial intelligence into combat operations.

Pete Hegseth just killed a Pentagon program Trump signed into law, called it “woke,” and proved he doesn’t know the first damn thing about winning wars—or reading orders.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth It takes a special kind of incompetence to cancel a Pentagon program and forget it was created by your own team. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn’t here for strategy—he’s here for slogans. And this week, in a half-cocked fit of social media warfare, he pull...
