PFC Lynch gets a Bronze Star? by
Brian
Did I hear correctly on the news that PFC Lynch was awarded a Bronze Star
along with a POW Medal and Purple Heart? I can understand the last two but a
freakin Bronze Star? What act of heroism did she perform? Don't get me
wrong, I'm not saying she did anything wrong but isn't the Army getting...

Armed forces of an independent Scotland by
phil hunt
There's recently been speculation in the media that UK defence cuts
ewill result in some or all of Scotland's infantry regiments being

Carrier Islands by
Thomas W Ping
Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored
for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the
practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were
arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a
matter of tradition, or...

The nature of military justice. by
ArtKramr
Many experts in military law consider the term military justice a contradiction
in terms. For example, you are charged with a crime by the military. The judge
is military, The prosecuting attourney is military, your defense attourney is
military and the entire jury is military. There is no...

Did military discipline become looser and more liberal since WWI?. Is

An Officer....... by

An officer never complains.
An officer never explains.
And an officer never allows himself to be put on the defensive.

Russian Military Technology by
BUFDRVR
The best the Russians can do is hope for a chance hit on a helicopter with
an RPG.
But you have to give them credit for that one....although its surface-to-air
capability was not part of the design and not discovered by the
Russians....maybe they don't deserve any credit. Maybe this is the key...

PK of Igla vs. airliner? by

Little missile, big-ish airplane.
Countermeasures in the commercial fleet seems like an expensive
proposition. One or two "successful" attacks (losses, even) wouldn't
stop me from flying.

Using ship fuel as aviation fuel? by
KDR
If necessary, is it possible to use F-76 as aviation fuel? I've read
somewhere that the RN's Invincible class carrier can trade off her
endurance for embarked air group's endurance by using ship fuel tanks
as 'swing tanks'. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?
Thanks in advance

Saddam Capture - End to resistance? by
Tuollaf43
The capture of Saddam Hussein (assuming that he is saddam and not a
double or a plant) is a great morale boost for the US and assorted
allies in Iraq. Wonder what effect, if any, it will have on continued
resistance in Iraq.
