Does the turmoil of the 1860s present a fair comparison with current events?
Hendrix used his knowledge of Army regulations to obtain an “early out” from the 101st Airborne.
Intrepid Air Force Pararescue Jumpers, flying from a secret CIA landing strip in Laos, evade North Vietnamese MiG-17s 75 miles north of Hanoi during one of the Vietnam War's most harrowing helicopter missions to rescue a downed American F-105 pilot.

Prohibition—what started as a sincere attempt to curb domestic violence and uphold the “traditional” values of the home quickly descended into the strangest, nay, darkest 13-year period in American history.

Others took another legal, albeit slightly spurious route in order to imbibe—a doctor’s note.
Fidel Castro’s Cuban rebels lost their first battle against the government’s well-armed troops. It was all uphill from there.

Propaganda in World War I came in many forms, but according to one historian, it hasn’t deviated much since.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the Marine pilots of VMF-221 paid a heavy price for their heroic efforts to stem the Japanese onslaught on Midway Atoll.
Designed in the U.K. and made in the U.S., Ukrainians rely on the M777A2 in their artillery duel with invading Russia.
An Ohio teacher got his first true taste of battle as Vicksburg fell in the summer of 1863. Two arduous but fulfilling years in uniform followed.
