AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The independent commission investigating the deadliest shooting in Maine history was granted subpoena power to compel witnesses to testify or produce documents Tuesday. The commission said it's pleased that the Army will make individuals available to testify, a spokesperson said. Evidence of Card's mental health struggles had surfaced months before the shooting. In May, relatives warned police that Card had grown paranoid, and they expressed concern about his access to guns. Then in September, a fellow reservist warned of a mass shooting.

Since then they have pledged allegiance to Islamic State and maintained their insurgency, attacking civilian and military targets in both Congo and Uganda. Congo army spokesperson Antony Mwalushay told Reuters that after sometimes lengthy spells in the camps, the women can have valuable insight on the group's operations that helps counter-insurgency efforts. So far this year the army has questioned around 425 women, who had been freed or escaped from rebels since January, including Mariam, Mwalushay said. Speaking to Reuters in the yard of the centre, Mariam described how she was coerced into moving to the rebel camp. Another 22-year old woman who ended up in an ADF camp when her husband signed up, said she was surprised by the strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law.

☆ As the drone battle in Ukraine unfolds, the US Army is scrambling to get its soldiers a new one-way tank-buster
  + stars: | 2023-08-07 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The US Army is rushing to develop its own tank-killing drone that soldiers can carry into combat. The weapon will be a loitering munition, a type of drone being used widely in the war in Ukraine. Though loitering munitions such as the US-made Switchblade have been around for years, they have seen their most prolific use in Ukraine. Russia has used military-grade Lancet 3 loitering munitions to hunt Ukrainian artillery and disrupt Ukraine's counteroffensive. What is also interesting about LASSO is that the Army is emphasizing it as an anti-armor weapon.

The House January 6 committee found evidence that top military officials had "genuine concerns" about Trump using the military to overturn the election. The revelation adds further context to why top officials were so outspoken about clarifying the military's role. "Again, at this time, there is no evidence the Department of Defense understood exactly what President Trump and his associates planned for January 6th." . . and the employment of forces, and you know, that was something that we were all, you know, conscious of," McCarthy told the committee. "They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," Milley told his deputies, according to the book.
☆ Russia's military needed up to 72 hours to approve a strike — making soldiers hit Ukrainian targets too late: report
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russia's military generally needed up to 72 hours for approval to attack new targets, per The NYT. Despite Russia having more military equipment than Ukraine, Ukrainian forces were more agile. Instead of attacking the new targets, Russia largely bombarded the old locations no longer being used by Ukraine. Per US officials who spoke with The Times, up to "60 percent of Russian cruise missiles missed their intended targets." The slow decision-making of the Russian military effectively shredded their plans to seize the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and several other cities early in the conflict.

My mom worked at K-Mart, earning $1.68 an hour. My parents worked for the Army Security Agency, encrypting top-secret communications between officers — the same level of classified intelligence making headlines today. Enlisting in the Army helped my parents build generational wealthAfter college, my mom worked for the State of Michigan for 27 years. My dad worked for the State of Michigan for 28 years. The military money helps cover bills for my 70-year-old mom, but she believes the direction and support they received in the military had a much greater impact.
