I don’t know how I missed it, but today I discovered the new United States Navy recruiting slogan. And I like it! “A Global Force for Good” is a great slogan.
I especially love this poster! “Because Peace Does Not Preserve Itself” There are some other great posters in the gallery as well.
Visit the US Naval Recruiting Command.

USS Hopper (DDG 70) scored a hit in the latest Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) at-sea firing event on July 30. This makes it 19 out of 23 attempts for the Navy.
I’ve always followed military technology developments and enjoy military history. Why I never served in the armed forces is a mystery to many people, including myself. Anyway, I remember a debate I had with a friends in high school about the future of warfare. A lot of wild claims were made in that argument by me and my friend. I’ll save all those recollections for another time. But on the subject of Star Wars Missile Defense and Brilliant Pebbles my friend had claimed, “you can’t hit a bullet with a bullet.” (more…)
I just enjoyed an L.A. Times article on how the U.S. military trains soldiers in the use of donkeys and mules.
I’m glad to see that good old tried and true methods are not forgotten. That technology does not solve all problems. And that not all solutions have to be hugely expensive or complicated.
