(Newser) – Seeking to swell enlisted ranks, the Pentagon may let more minor criminals enlist in the military, the AP reports. "I do believe it needs to be done," an Army official said of the proposed plan. "There are really anomalies out there"—... Read full story »

No Child Left Unrecruited

Pentagon uses NCLB, other sneaky means to get info on teens in high school

(NEWSER) - The military is using a host of behind-the-scenes methods—including the No Child Left Behind Act—to gather information on high school students for recruitment, writes David Goodman in Mother Jones. A little-known provision in NCLB, for instance, requires schools that get funding to supply recruiters with info on all juniors and seniors. It "effectively transformed President George W. Bush's signature education bill into the most aggressive military recruitment tool since the draft." More»

Female Soldiers Sue Over Combat Ban

With 130 women killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, combat roles evolving

(NEWSER) - Two female army reservists filed suit against the US military yesterday, claiming the policy preventing women from serving in combat is unconstitutional, reports Reuters . Being banned from combat "solely on the basis of sex" violates their Fifth Amendment rights and "restricts their current and future earnings, their potential for promotion and advancement, and their future retirement benefits," wrote Command Sergeant Major Jane Baldwin and Colonel Ellen Haring in their lawsuit.

Special Ops Are the Future: Top Admiral

William McRaven calls for bigger focus on secret missions

(NEWSER) - Today's international threats call for a shift in military strategy, and the US must focus increasingly on secret operations, says the US special operations chief. William McRaven, who headed the Osama bin Laden raid, wants more power for the Special Operations Command—including Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and other elite fighting forces—to battle militants worldwide, the Los Angeles Times reports. Special ops should be "the force of choice" against "emerging threats," McRaven says in Pentagon documents. More»

Army Puts Out Call for 'Magic' Hovering Bullet

...bullet would be non-lethal

(NEWSER) - The Pentagon certainly has imagination when it comes to making up dream weapons. It's put out a new list of weapons small businesses should try to design for it, and one of them is a "Nonlethal Warhead of Miniature Organic Precision Munitions," or what Wired describes as, "one part bazooka round; one part suicidal drone; one part stun round." Essentially, the Army wants a bullet that can acquire a target, close in on it in less than 20 seconds, and then somehow incapacitate it without killing it. More»

Pentagon Finally Pulls Captain's Prank Portrait

Fake painting was smuggled in, hung on wall for a year

(NEWSER) - For almost a year, a portrait hung on the Pentagon wall commemorating Ensign Chuck Hord, "lost at sea" in 1908. Seems that no one noticed that the turn-of-the-century sailor had blow-dried hair, or that what appeared to be an oil painting was actually a stylized photograph. Indeed, "Chuck Hord" never even existed: The portrait was a snapshot of Capt. Tuck Hord, a 53-year-old Navy retiree living in Virginia, the Wall Street Journal reports. The formal photo was taken in 1982 at the request of Hord's parents. From there, it gets weird. More»
