U.S. Soldiers Accidentally Leaked Nuclear Weapons Secrets Online
In what seems like a mind-boggling mishandling of America’s most sensitive national security information, the soldiers accidentally revealed “not just the bases” where the nukes were stored but, in two cases, also “the exact shelters with ‘hot’ vaults that likely contain nuclear weapons,” writes Foeke Postma, a researcher with the OSINT-focused investigative team Bellingcat. They also revealed a whole bunch of other data, from information about secret codes, passwords, and local security layouts.
Amazingly, the troops used common study apps like Chegg, Cram, and Quizlet to store really sensitive data about European nuke bases and then seemingly forgot to change the apps’ settings from public to private

SCOTUS upholds Vaginist privelege
Source: New York Times
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a federal law that requires only men to register for the military draft.
As is the courts custom, it gave no reasons for turning down the case. But three justices issued a statement saying that Congress should be allowed more time to consider what they acknowledged was a significant legal issue.
It remains to be seen, of course, whether Congress will end gender-based registration under the Military Selective Service Act, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the statement, which was joined by Justices Stephen G. Breyer and Brett M. Kavanaugh. But at least for now, the courts longstanding deference to Congress on matters of national defense and military affairs cautions against granting review while Congress actively weighs the issue.
The requirement is one of the last sex-based distinctions in federal law, one that challengers say cannot be justified now that women are allowed to serve in every role in the military, including ground combat. Unlike men, though, they are not required to register with the Selective Service System, the government agency that maintains a database of Americans who would be eligible for the draft were it reinstated.

Re: Current US Military
I was a soldier...
... and it wasn't that hard.
Like, basically you had to not be obese, illiterate, or a felon.
And they were kinda wishy-washy on the felon part.
So you know ... if you want to worship that, don't let me stop you. But the Church of DBTrek requires all worshippers to pay a 5% tithe, so hit me up for my PayPal info if you're a disciple.
Thanks.

Now mind you, you are asking for the bullet, not the casing, the primer or the powder, right?
