The same way we look at the ’60′s is the same way people will view our genraration decades from now. Remember and act in the year you are living now, because they are momentous ones. 30 or 40 years from now, you — along with young people, historians, politicians, bloggers (if they will even exist [...]

As the necessity to protect the United States from foreign cyber-attacks increases, citizens must be cautious of how the government approaches the matter. Nations are increasingly turning to cyber-warfare as a method to sabotage another nation’s civil, economic, and military infrastructure.  Last week, for example, The New York Times  examined a report detailing a hacking [...]

My first reaction to the lifting of the ban on military women in combat was similar to many others’: What a proud moment for our country! My approval slowly transformed into confusion after revisiting an article I read last semester: “Women Warriors” by Christine Sylvester.
