Should the Pentagon offer new recruits an option to finish post-active-duty military obligations in the Peace Corps, rather than the reserves? It was a question ready made for commentary by Colman McCarthy, former Washington Post columnist and now director of the Center for Teaching Peace. He’s 100 percent behind the idea. In an op-ed in Sunday’s Post, McCarthy even denigrates anti-military “elitists” who would bar the door to the Peace Corps ranks. Why? He thinks that the partnership will shake Peace Corps funding from the Pentagon’s “money tree.”
The Space Force’s small size has limited its capacity to consider what role it will play in future operations on and around the moon. That needs to change, according to Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Shawn Bratton.
