Inside Diego Garcia: The Most Mysterious U.S. Naval BaseIn the middle of the Indian Ocean lies a secretive United States military base – Diego Garcia. It has proven to be strategically vital and a launchpad for Middle East military operations. Located on a remote island outside of the U.S., this base occupies a territory that was formerly in possession of the British Empire. Over the years, this island (that now doubles as a U.S. military base) has been at the center of many high-profile conspiracy theories and is notorious for being shrouded in mystery. With only military personnel and island natives allowed to step foot on the island, and a level of secrecy higher than Guantanamo Bay, it's no wonder that many have come to question what occurs inside Diego Garcia.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enEarlier this week, events in space flirted with a real-life adaptation of Alfonso Cuarón's 2013 motion picture “Gravity” when the Russian military blew up an inoperative Soviet satellite that had been orbiting the Earth since the early 1980s. Moscow insists that the debris didn't get within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of the International Space Station, but NASA says the astronauts and cosmonauts aboard ISS were awakened early and ordered to retreat to their docked spacecraft in case an impact prompted an evacuation. U.S. officials say they've tracked 1,500 pieces of orbital debris caused by the Soviet satellite's destruction, but there are likely “hundreds of thousands” more smaller pieces that also endanger anything or anyone in their path. According to NASA, this trash will circle the Earth for decades, posing a constant threat to the operations of all spacefaring nations. Russia says the Americans are a bunch of hypocrites. To shed some light on Russia's weapons test, independent analyst and disarmament expert Pavel Podvig to returns to The Naked Pravda.

$30 Million Military Family Relief Initiative Provides Continued Support for Military Families Impacted by COVID-19 While Labor Day traditionally provides a day off in recognition of the American worker, this year it is a reminder of the more than 30 million Americans out of work because of the COVID-19 health crisis.  And as many families struggle to pay rent and utilities and put food on the table, military families have been hit especially hard with the unemployment rate for military spouses at nearly 30-percent and more than 23,000 guardsmen currently deployed stateside, which creates additional stressors. To provide direct assistance, including financial relief, USAA has committed $30 million to its Military Family Relief Initiative, the largest one-time philanthropic contribution in USAA’s nearly 100-year history. Two dozen military and general aid non-profit organizations will receive support, with nearly $20 million directed to military aid societies and organizations that support all five branches of the military through grants, interest-free loans, and other types of support. Another $10 million will be provided to organizations that offer career support; childcare and educational services for military children; and programs that support caregivers, families of the fallen, and wounded, ill, and injured military personnel.

First, a bit of news: So, it's after careful consideration that I've decided to suspend pledges on Patreon. For the time being the content will be available free to everyone at all times. I'd still love it if people visited the Patreon page, and I'll take a donation any old time you feel like buying me a cup of coffee, but I'm struggling with the "new normal" as we all call it. I'm back to work part time, but the kids aren't in school, and it's impossible to find care for them when I'm already wearing my childcare options thin just getting to work each day. I just don't feel comfortable charging patrons for a thing when I can't reasonably promise to have bonus content, content up by Friday at the latest, or other benefits that come along with patronage. Now, about this episode: Katrina and I actually went to high school together. She's a super cool chick, with four kids, living in Honolulu, Hawaii, with her husband, who is also in the air force. She talks about her choice to join the Air Force, her current dilemma: go back into the air force and, if so, in what capacity, and how she raises four kids while her husband is deployed (but he's not currently, so that's a good thing).

In this episode, we revisit the Military Revolution theory with A Short History of Japan's Cameron Foster.  We look at the 2013 artilcle 'Military Revolution ini Early Modern Japan' by Matthew Stavros that looks at applying the Military Revolution theory to Japan's Sengoku period to explain the military advances and expansion.  We previously talked in detail about the Military Revolution theory in Episodes #1 and #2.
