Thou shalt laugh at the absurdity of PCSing. Stacey Morgan knows a thing or two about PCS-ing. The U.S. Army wife and mother of four is preparing this summer for her eighth move, and a moment she had in the shower this week is going viral—well, sort of. Morgan is an author and speaker currently living at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. She is preparing her family for a permanent change of station to Colorado Springs and had a moment of clarity while washing her hair.

The Government Accountability Office, an independent and nonpartisan investigative watchdog for Congress, has opened a review into how the Justice Department has handled redactions from investigative documents relating to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs requested $488.2 billion for fiscal year 2027, but questions on Capitol Hill focused on doctors and nurses rather than dollars. Senator Jon Ossoff said the numbers appear to move in the wrong direction. “It appears that the FY 27 request for physicians would employ fewer physicians than the FY 26 request for physicians,” Ossoff said. “Likewise, fewer registered nurses.”

Robert D. Kaplan is an analyst and writer focused on the U.S. military and foreign affairs, and on Friday, he published a new piece for the New York Times, warning that "America no longer rules the waves," and breaking down how the current situation has exposed the Navy's ongoing "decline."

A Navy radioman whose patrol plane crashed during World War II has been accounted for over 80 years after his death, military officials said Thursday. U.S. Navy Aviation Radioman 2nd Class Robert L. Cyr Jr. enlisted at 17 and flew patrols in the Pacific, according to a news release from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. While on leave one year after his enlistment, he told a local newspaper that he had flown about 112,000 miles on patrol flights.

Then bring our Sailors home... Trump declares hostilities with Iran "terminated"

The Pentagon said on Friday the US will be withdrawing roughly 5,000 troops from Germany over the next year. The move, which comes after President Donald Trump lashed out the German chancellor over his criticism of the US war with Iran, would still leave more than 30,000 US troops in the country.

On paper, the war in Iran should not be much of a contest. The United States spends around $1 trillion a year on its military, more than 100 times as much as Iran. That money buys a vastly larger Air Force and Navy, as well as advanced weapons technologies that Iranian generals can only dream about.

“This is the hill that I'm willing to die on. … There is nothing OK about threats of violence, racial violence in the military or anywhere in the world for that matter. We can't allow this type of environment to exist in the Army. It's not OK, our soldiers deserve better.”

A US Navy warship lost power and propulsion for several hours in the Indo-Pacific on Tuesday, a US defense official said, after suffering what a Navy statement called an “engineering casualty” in its electrical system. Such a situation would leave the ship, the guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins, and its crew of about 300 “helpless” in the water, a naval analyst told CNN. There were no injuries among those aboard, the Navy said.

Two senior administration officials told us that the vice president has queried the accuracy of the information the Pentagon has provided about the war. He has also expressed his concerns about the availability of certain missile systems in discussions with President Trump, several people familiar with the situation told us. The consequences of a dramatic drawdown in munitions reserves are potentially dire: U.S. forces would need to draw from these same stockpiles to defend Taiwan against China, South Korea against North Korea, and Europe against Russia.
