Off Duty Gamers

OffDutyGamers.com is a gaming site specifically targeted at military veterans. Here is how they think of themselves in their own words:

This site is for all the active duty military and prior service veterans who enjoy video games and the associated hardware but are easily annoyed with throngs of civilian ‘experts’ who seem to know more about the ‘military’ portion of today’s games than an experienced member of the military. This site is about delivering all the same news, reviews and sense of community coupled with our collective bond of service and unique point of view. This site is primarily for veterans, by veterans and aims to support our community.

The site reviews military games and is a meetup for military personnel who want to play online with other services members.

Why Surrender Is Never an Option

The Phases of Surrender

The first phase of surrender is failing to be armed, trained and committed to fight.  We are prepared to surrender when we are unprepared to resist.
The second phase of surrender is failing to be alert.  You must see trouble coming in order to have time to respond.  The warning may be less than one second but it will be there and it must be recognized and acted upon immediately.
The Third phase of surrender is giving up your weapons.
The last phase of surrender is up to the monsters who have taken control of your life and perhaps the lives of your loved ones.  The last phase of surrender is out of your hands.

MEDEVAC/CASEVAC Problems in Afghanistan

From Micheal Yon:

The highest ranking officers in the US Army continue to deceive Senators and Representatives about the ongoing MEDEVAC failures in Afghanistan.  There are telltale signs that reveal deceptive Generals.  If a General says or implies that Dustoff must wear Red Crosses due to Geneva Conventions, he is lying.  Full stop.

Liquid Body Armor

From Guns.com:

The next generation of body armor might be liquid.  Both BAE Systems and the Army Research Laboratories along with the University of Delaware are working on turning shear-thickening fluids (STF) into body armor.  The concept of using the non-Newtonian fluids as a means to enhance armor while staying flexible at other times is not new but actually putting it into action is a separate and more difficult problem.
