According to The Guardian, Army Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, the highest-ranking Black servicemember to receive the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Vietnam War, was briefly removed from the Department of Defense's website, sparking backlash. The deletion occurred amid the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Following public outcry, the page was later restored. Rogers' Medal of Honor citation commended his “heroism” during a 1968 battle. He retired in 1984 and passed away in 1990. The controversy surrounding his profile's removal underscores broader concerns about the erasure of Black military history from government records. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the next episode of our new Academic Arsenal series – focused on NPS students' defense-relevant research – host Eric Czaja speaks with two U.S. Air Force senior pilots in the defense analysis program whose examination of amphibious aircraft could offer an innovative solution to logistics challenges in the Indo-Pacific. Trident Room Podcast host U.S. Army Maj. Eric Czaja has a conversation with NPS Department of Defense Analysis students U.S. Air Force Maj. Bobby Strain and U.S. Air Force Maj. Tim Marti. This episode was recorded on August 31, 2024. Maj. Bobby Strain is a U.S. Air Force senior pilot with more than 2,450 flying hours in the C-5M and KC-135R/T. A 2011 ROTC graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, he has flown missions worldwide, including combat missions in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Resolute Support, Inherent Resolve, and Freedom's Sentinel. Maj. Tim Marti is also a U.S. Air Force senior pilot with more than 2,000 hours flying the U-28 and other various AFSOC aircraft, including combat missions in Operation Inherent Resolve. Together, Strain and Marti have authored a joint thesis entitled “Airpower Beyond the Runway: Amphibious Aircraft to Enhance Agility in INDOPACOM.” Their thesis explores how seaplanes, specifically amphibious aircraft, can support the U.S. Joint Force while also creating challenges for adversaries in the Indo-Pacific. The study explores the limitations of current assets and the advantages of utilizing seaplanes in two fictional scenarios. Utilizing a mixed methods qualitative/quantitative approach to compare seaplanes against various platforms – including aircraft, ships, boats, and submarines – the study showcases the seaplane's unique advantages due to its speed, range, and access to remote locations. The study concludes with a series of recommendations for the DOD to inform decision-makers of the potential for investment in amphibious aircraft, and suggests courses of action to validate the requirement. ----------------- The Trident Room Podcast is brought to you by the Naval Postgraduate School Alumni Association and the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation. www.npsfoundation.org For comments, suggestions, and critiques, please email us at TridentRoomPodcastHost@nps.edu, and find us online at nps.edu/tridentroompodcast.

Joining me today is Army MAJ (Ret) Ruslan Emelyanov. Ruslan was born and raised in the former Soviet Union.  When he turned 18, he was conscripted into the Soviet Army in 1989 and chose to be a Paratrooper.  Over the next couple years, he accepted an invitation to attend the newly formed Russian Military Academy.  He graduated in 1995 and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Russian Army.  He had also earned his Jumpmaster status at that time.  His first assignment was to join his new unit already fighting in the First Chechen War.  At the conclusion of the war, his unit redeployed in December 1996.  Ruslan was then reassigned to Moscow and transferred to the Military Police.  In 1998 as a Captain, he resigned his Commission and left the Russian Army. Family relatives who lived in California applied for a Green Card for Ruslan, and in 2000, he joined his relatives in Carmel, CA.  When the Sep 11th attacks occurred in 2001, he contacted an Army recruiter about the possibility of joining the U.S. Army.  The recruiter said he could enlist with a Green Card and signed him up as an 11B Infantry MOS.  At 28, he attended Basic Training at Ft. Benning, GA.  After graduating Basic, he attended Jump School and earned his U.S. Parachute Badge.  His first assignment was to B Co., 2/35th Infantry at Schofield Barracks, HI.  In 2003, he renounced his Russian citizenship and was sworn in as a U.S. citizen.  In April 2004, his unit deployed to Afghanistan for a year tour.  Upon returning, he was promoted to SGT.  He also earned Jumpmaster in the U.S. Army.  A few years later, he was recommended for OCS at Ft. Benning, and in 2007 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Infantry.  In 2009, Ruslan changed branches to Civil Affairs and spent the next 12 years working with Special Operations Forces out of Ft. Bragg, NC.  He retired from the Army in 2023.

Guest: Retired U.S. Army Maj. General Gregg Martin   A retired Army general shares his story of what it was like to experience bouts of mania and depression while on active duty — symptoms that would eventually lead to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. He shares details about how the mental health condition affected his career and what he's doing now to ensure others don't encounter the same barriers to getting help or feeling the stigma as he did.   “Bipolar — I never wanted it, but it wanted me. And it's never going to leave. It's always a part of me, and it's my job to be vigilant and keep it at bay because if you let your guard down, it can come roaring back and take you down again.”   Learn more about: Gen.

One this week's episode of ‘The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross:' On the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, thousands of voting rights activists take to the streets across the country to rally for voting rights. This comes amid some key victories this week with the House passing the John Lewis voting rights advancement act and a North Carolina judge ruling that voting rights must be automatically restored for thousands of formerly incarcerated people. Plus, Army Maj. Gen. William “Hank” Taylor and Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby hold a press conference from the Pentagon after the United States military carried out a drone strike killing two ISIS-K planners were killed.  And the Supreme Court struck down the eviction mortarium putting millions at risk of being thrown out on the streets. All this and so much more on this week's episode of ‘The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross.'  

The Pentagon says the U.S. military is ramping up evacuations out of Afghanistan, and that 7,000 civilians have been taken out of the country since August 14. Army Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor told reporters that 12 C-17 aircraft departed with 2,000 evacuees over the past 24 hours. Speaking at a Pentagon briefing today, Taylor said the military now has enough aircraft to get 5,000-9,000 people out a day, depending on how many have been processed and other factors, such as weather. There are now about 5,200 U.S. troops at the airport, a number that has been steadily increasing in recent days.  When ABC News' Luis Martinez pressed Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby on whether there's been progress getting people access to the airport: "We have seen by opening up another gate, by adding consular officers now, we believe that we will soon begin to see an opening up of the aperture, and we're hopeful that that means more consistent increase in the flow ...but I want to be careful before I make predictions," Kirby replied.

The Bible and the Torah have served as sources of inspiration and guidance throughout the ages. Accounts in the Book of Genesis of the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden are among those that have helped people from ancient times to understand God and to navigate personal issues.Michael Eisenberg, an Israeli venture capitalist and author of the upcoming book “The Tree of Life and Prosperity: 21st Century Business Principles from the Book of Genesis,” says he believes these stories contain nuggets of wisdom just as applicable today as they were back then."Wow, this is super-relevant for modern times and modern challenges, this kind of timeless wisdom," Eisenberg says about the Torah, which encompasses the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. "It has a modern feel to it, despite its nature as an ancient text."Eisenberg joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about his book and some of the lessons we can take from the Book of Genesis.We also cover these news stories:At a Pentagon briefing, Army Maj. Gen.

Good morning, it's Monday April 19th and this is The Herald Review's Daily Chirp podcast. We're bringing you a closer look at one of our top stories, along with other important things going on in our community.    Today - According to Sheriff Mark Dannels the Mexican cartel has threatened deputies with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.   Before we begin, some local history.   John Harris Behanserved as the first Sheriff of Cochise County when the county was formed back in 1881. He was sheriff during the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.    Behan was known for his opposition to the Earps. And after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Behan testified at length against the Earps. He supported the Cowboys' statements that they had raised their hands and offered no resistance, and that the Earps and Doc Holliday had murdered three cowboys.    The Earps ultimately left Tombstone under a cloud of suspicion. Behan was later arrested for graft and failed to win re-election as sheriff. Eventually, he was appointed as the warden of the Yuma Territorial Prison and had various other government jobs until his death in 1912.   Today's history is brought to you by Benson Hospital - they're doing more than treating illnesses in Benson, they're building a healthier community. Benson Hospital is now collaborating with the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona to provide diaper assistance to families in need.

He also noted that recent decisions being made in Washington DC have actually empowered the cartel.   Another focus of the conversation was on the rising number of people coming to the U.S. illegally — including unaccompanied children.   In the Tucson Sector — which includes Cochise County — there were “encounters” with 7,079 unaccompanied migrant children in March. That's up 83 percent from March 2020.   Encounters with single, migrant adults trying to enter the country illegally also jumped in the Tucson Sector, with over 68,000 last month, compared to just over 21,000 in March 2020.   This ongoing issue has prompted several government and law enforcement entities to reach out to federal officials. Even the Western States Sheriffs Association of Laramie, Wyoming, expressed solidarity with the Southwest border sheriffs.   Following the meeting in San Simon we spoke with Dannels about the cartel threat and he told us that they've had threats. They're taking safety precautions to protect Cochise County deputies. He also noted that if there are any new developments he'll let the public know.   Then, on Friday, Governor Doug Ducey announced that Arizona would take matters into its own hands.   Ducey's statement came after the Arizona Department of Public Safety spotted 20 undocumented migrants in Chandler. The state agency said it was rebuffed by both the Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they asked for help. Ultimately, the migrants were released into Chandler. Ducey said that the Biden Harris administration needs to get its head out of the sand when it comes to the crisis at our border. In his eyes, this lack of action defies all logic, and flies in the face of the law.   Ducey continued to say that this administration is asleep at the switch, and their total lack of action is having real consequences here in the state of Arizona.   Ducey is hopeful that US Senators and Congressional delegation will join him in calling for the President to deploy the National Guard to the border.   It was then when he noted that if the federal government isn't going to do its job, then Arizona will take matters into our own hands and provide support to sheriffs and local law enforcement.    To stay up to date on this story visit us at myheraldreview.com   -   Thanks for listening, before we continue, a quick message from our sponsors, Prestige Family Living.    Now, we'd like to take a moment to recognize military children as April is the Month of the Military Child.

But as a military child, the first-grader is beginning to understand that people come and go and that a favorite house or school is not always permanent.   Elaina and her 5-year-old sister, Gabriella, are among the hundreds of thousands of military children around the world who are honored each April by the Department of Defense during the Month of the Military Child.   The event was created in the mid-1980s by then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. The Pentagon and other military support organizations and agencies use the month to recognize military children for their sacrifice and bravery on the homefront.    While a lot of military youngsters get to live in places that many adults would never see, the constant change and upheaval can often be emotionally taxing.   But military parents say that the moves can also build resiliency. That's what Army 1st Sgt. Michael Hull, who is stationed at Fort Huachuca, says about his two sons.    Hull said his boys have always embraced the moves and the adventures that come with them.   But the Hull children are about to experience a bit more permanency in their young lives. In June, Hull completes his second year at Fort Huachuca. The 41-year-old soldier plans to retire and stay in Tucson. His oldest son started high school there two years ago and he wants to see him finish. His youngest is in fifth grade.   Meanwhile, the Calkins sisters are just getting started on their adventure. Their father, Army Maj. Robert Calkins, the battalion executive officer in the 309th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Huachuca, said moving to the installation almost three years ago was the first significant move experienced by his daughters.    Calkins said he's starting to see resiliency in both his children. They now understand when he has to finish work at home after a long day or if he's going to be a little late picking them up at the after-school center on the installation. But neither child can really understand the gravity of his work or that he commands 850 soldiers.   When he gets home he's just dad.    -   Next, an upcoming event in our community that you should know about -- brought to you by our sponsors, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative.   Music, art, and tacos! Six great bands, local artists, and tacos... not bad for a Tuesday!  Head over to The Jonquil Motel tomorrow starting at 4pm for live music by Juniper Djinn, Tapestries, Alex Wilkerson, John & Eli Beach, Horny Siren and Bad Shaman.    Primo's Outlaw Tacos will be slinging delicious grub, and La Fortuna will be onsite with premium herbals and ethnobotanicals.   Don't miss out on the live art and artisan goodies!    The event is BYOB and don't forget your masks, please! Suggested cover is between $5-10 to support the arts in Bisbee.   Finally - we'd like to remember the life of Steve Whitecotton of Hereford. Steve was son of the Bennie and Betty Whitecotton. He was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on November 14, 1952.   Steve was a 1971 graduate of Rivercrest High School and went on to attend Arkansas Tech University. In 1973, he joined the United States Air Force and proudly served his country for 15 years.   He attained the rank of Technical Sergeant before transferring to the Army in 1988, serving for 10 years. Steve was a Gulf War Veteran, serving with the First Armor Division and retired with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2.   Steve enjoyed riding his motorcycle, he had his pilot's license, he enjoyed scuba diving as a Master Diver, and he loved tinkering in his shop on projects, and working on his “farm”.    His smile and laughter will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him, especially those closest.   Steve is survived by his daughter, his grandchildren, a brother, a sister, a nephew, his former wife and friend Pam, and his “adopted son” George and his family.   Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Steve's life.

In a brutally honest exit interview, recently retired U.S. Army Maj. Danny Sjursen opens up about his 18 years as a witness to the carnage of America's forever wars.

The main point of the armed services is to wreck things and kill the enemy. Often bombers and long range missiles do not do the job. Sometimes soldiers and marines need to get close. Recent losses show these tip-of-the-spear warfighters may not have the training and equipment they need. For a perspective on the Pentagon's new Close Combat Lethality Task Force, Army Maj. John Spencer, deputy director of the Modern War Institute at West Point and former Army ranger, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Pentagon Press Secretary and acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs George Little delivered his first press briefing in the role of assistant secretary. He fielded questions about a possible North Korean missile test and about operations in Afghanistan. April is the Month of the Military Child. Barbara Thompson, director of Military Community and Family Policy for Children and Youth, spoke with the Pentagon Channel about the month, and what it means to be a military child today. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta visited troops aboard the USS Peleliu, commending them for their role in Afghanistan and outlining a defense strategy that will work well into the future. He said the crew of the Peleliu exemplifies the capabilities the future force will need. National Guard and civilian dentists, and one oncologist, visited Moldova to help teach dentists there and provide care for dozens of children in need. The visit was part of the North Carolina-Moldova state partnership, established in 1995.

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. Tonight he told us the incredible story of Army Maj. John Detro, via IBD, "Of the 50 men on the mission, 22 were wounded, five seriously. Thanks in great part to Detro and his team of medics, all of the Rangers survived and many of them are still on active duty. And the military reported the mission successful, with 50 terrorists killed. For his sound judgment and exceptional performance, Detro was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor and the Purple Heart. He also earned the admiration of his medics, who upon returning home nominated Detro for the Army Physician's Assistant of the Year Award." The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Bruce does an incredible job with the series every week. What is Pundit Review Radio?

Bruce McQuain from QandO joined us for another edition of Someone You Should Know, the untold, inspirations true stories of the men and women fighting for us around the world. The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Thanks to Matt, Bruce is now on board and we are lucky to have him as part of the show. Tonight, Bruce told us a story about leadership. The story of CSM Ron Riling, Riling said his actions that day were just those of a soldier doing his job. “I don’t claim to be a hero for getting this award. I don’t want to be labeled as a hero. I felt I was just another soldier on the battlefield, doing my job, helping other soldiers and helping Marines,” Riling explained. Army Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman, 4th Infantry Division commander, said Riling’s actions clearly indicate the kind of a soldier Riling is and why he could not have picked a better senior noncommissioned officer to lead the division. “I think the nation is lucky to have soldiers like him who are willing to put their lives on the line,” said Thurman. “It’s important to have professionals such as Command Sergeant Major Riling in our formation. He sets the example and is a role model. Courage is paramount with guys like him. He embodies all of the things that we want in a professional soldier. (He is) loyal, open, honest, trusting. That’s the type of soldier that he is.” What is Pundit Review Radio? Pundit Review Radio is where the old media meets the new.

This week Trey and Ken start the show by jumping back into the ongoing topic of impeachment. Specifically the pair parse Fiona Hill and David Holmes' testimony in light of President Trump's Friday morning conversation on Fox & Friends. Ken thinks that, not only is impeachment the right thing to do, but that it will be an electoral winner for the Democratic Party. Trey argues that impeachment, when the Senate inevitably fails to convict, may result in better polling results for Trump. Ken deeply disagrees and thinks a trial in the Senate benefits Democrats, even if they ultimately lose, due to additional witnesses. Both agree that an impeachment will happen during the first week in December. Next the pair turn to the Democratic Debates. Both Trey and Ken agree debate fatigue is settling in, in large part due to the format of the debate. Trey argues that little electorally meaningful comes from the debates at this point, accept for the perception of candidates afterwards. On this front he sees Biden as the big loser of the debate. Ken worries that too much time is spent on issues such as universal healthcare when this isn't a true power of the president. Trey and Ken then move to talk about the additional 60 day funding of government signed by President Trump after a last minute passage in the Senate. Ken argues that, baring a veto, government will only be funded in short term continuing resolutions, unless Trump vetos. Trey argues that there would be Republican votes to overcome a Trump veto to keep government open. Meanwhile both agree Democrats are unwilling to either fund additional border security or shut down government, thus continuing the need for short term spending resolutions. Next the pair turn to Trump's recent military pardons of Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, Army Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, and Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward Gallagher. Both are deeply disturbed by the pardons. Trey specifically, who has moral issues with the nature of much military power, worries that by pardoning individuals from the military it expands military power. Finally Trey and Ken hit a continuing topic outside the united states: Israeli politics. Specifically the indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The pair discuss the historical ramifications of the indictment, the similarities to the impeachment of Trump, and finish the discussion on what happens next. *Black Friday Deal!* Patreon supporters who either support The Politics Guys at the $5 per month level, or supporters who increase their monthly support to $5 will get their choice of either a Politics Guys mug or tote bag.
