Since 1950, presidents of both political parties have sent American troops into conflicts across the globe, killed countless people, sacrificed the lives and limbs of American servicemen and women, and wasted trillions of dollars.

“A former U.S. government contractor was arrested after allegedly sharing classified military information on social media and stealing night-vision equipment from an Army Special Operations facility, officials said Friday. James Thomas Ashbacher, 37 of Spring Lake, N.C., was arrested Tuesday by the FBI following a federal indictment accusing him of unlawfully transmitting and keeping national defense information. He also faces a charge of stealing government property. Prosecutors said Ashbacher began working in 2021 for a private company that provided security and emergency management services at Fort Bragg. His position gave him access to classified military information through a top-secret security clearance.” (10/31/26)
