Christmas in the Trenches 2018

Paul Rosenzweig   Thu, Dec 20, 2018, 2:00 PM

As is my annual custom, this song is both thanks to all those who serve our country and a reminder of why they serve—to "secure the blessings of liberty." This year, more than ever, it seems worth remembering those who sacrifice for our nation.

My best wishes to all Lawfare readers for a warm and wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.

Michael Veltri   Fri, Feb 23, 2018, 12:00 PM

The first time I got the crap beaten out of me, I was a cocky 16-year old ironically on my way to, of all place, karate class.

I know he outweighed me by 100 pounds because the very short fight ended with him lying on top of me in the middle of the street after pile-driving me straight into the pavement.
