American Soldiers War Criminals?
By David French1427992131212
Yesterday, the International Criminal Court " welcomed " Palestine as a "State Party" to the Rome Statute, the international treaty governing the ICC. Most of the coverage focused on the implications for Israel, as the PA has declared its intentions to file complaints against Israel for its conduct...
Bergdahl & Our Leaders' Lost Honor
Desertion is a very old story in the history of armies and armed conflict. Soldiers deserted from the Continental Army, from the Union Army, from the American armies in World War I and World War II — yet those armies fought on, fought well, and prevailed.

The P.C. Police Aren't Fragile
We are at the cusp of a rare moment in modern American cultural debate — a moment when reasonable, thoughtful members of the Left and Right agree. Political correctness is spiraling out of control.
