The Kopp-Etchells Effect
This is a new phrase to describe a phenomenon produced by the blades of helicopters. Read the article about how the phrase came about, here.

Army To Introduce New Lead-free Ammo in 2014
From Guns.com:
The new cartridge offers much improved performance in just about every circumstance. It travels at higher velocities and has better ballistics and range, it’s great at barrier penetration and is more effective on targets at all ranges.
Krav Maga Intro
Via The Art of Manliness:
The primary goal in Krav Maga is to neutralize your threat as quickly as possible. This overarching goal governs all the other principles of Krav Maga. Because your aim is to dominate and incapacitate your attacker as soon as possible, pretty much anything goes in Krav Maga. You can’t worry about fighting etiquette when your life is on the line. You do whatever you have to do to preserve your life.
Tintype Photographs From Afghanistan
I have always liked the look of the photographs from the Civil War era. A photographer in Afghanistan apparently agrees with me.

First Drone Carrier Landing
From Military Times:
If all goes as planned, a successful landing of the X-47B experimental aircraft will mean the Navy can move forward with its plans to develop another unmanned aircraft that will join the fleet alongside traditional airplanes to provide around-the-clock surveillance while also possessing a strike capability. The aircraft’s success would pave the way for the U.S. to launch unmanned aircraft without the need to obtain permission from other countries to use their bases.
Update (16:51):
First Carrier Arrested Landing:
Army Reducing Amount of Combat Brigades
From MilitaryTimes.com:

Spec Ops Medics vs. PETA
SOFREP has a good article about the necessity of live tissue training for medics. They use goats which PETA objects to:
Today, groups like PETA are engaging in political activism to try to shut down LTT in the SOCM school house at Ft. Bragg. This can’t happen. It will literally kill our soldiers. Groups like PETA have convinced certain politicians that the same quality training can be done on mannequins or medical training dummies. This simply is not true. There is nothing more realistic than living flesh and blood.
