How Easily Would The U.S. Military Take Omaha Beach Today?

The most important difference between 1944 and today would be in the realm of guided munitions.

I once heard that a single F-15 packs as much firepower as an entire squadron of World War II–era bombers when you take into account explosive weight and the percentage of ordnance you can get on target. (Keep in mind, the F-15 is a fighter/bomber, not a dedicated bomber. If we start talking about the B-52, things get even crazier.)

What’s It Like To Have Fatal Familial Insomnia?

fatal familial insomnia

Fatal familial insomnia is a rare genetic degenerative brain disorder. It is characterized by an inability to sleep (insomnia) that may be initially mild, but progressively worsens, leading to significant physical and mental deterioration and death.

How does it feel to constantly be awake?

Tiresome. Like I just woke up 20 minutes ago after a shit night. I’d say the very closest thing I could compare it to is the first hour of being awake, where your body and brain are never fully turned on.

Pros:

Three hots and a cot. Top grade training in whatever technical discipline you choose, assuming you score well on the ASVAB.

Decent pay. You won’t get rich, but if you use the brain your parents gave you and don’t exceed your means, you can save a bit of money and live a decent life.

Every January, many of us reflect on how to make the upcoming year surpass the previous one. Given the global challenges of the past two years, this introspection feels even more pertinent.

However, the term “better” is subjective. For some, it might mean increased productivity, while for others, it’s about decluttering life to focus on genuine passions. Donald Miller, a renowned author, believes that most are in search of a deeper purpose.

In his recent book, “Hero on a Mission,” Miller posits an intriguing approach: begin by penning your eulogy. While it might seem grim initially, it’s akin to setting a goal and tracing steps backward. This strategy, effective in business or projects, can also be applied to life planning. By visualizing the desired end, one can lead a life with purpose.
