    Next, weapons evolved throughout the process of the crusades. Just as the people developed armor throughout the medieval time period surrounding the crusades, knights began to use more effective and dangerous weapons in combat with their enemy. Two different types of weapons were used during the Crusades: close combat weapons such as swords, maces, spears, and poleaxes, but also long distance weapons such as long bows and crossbows. Blacksmiths softened iron and then shaped the metal into customized weights, lengths, widths, and also shape for both swords and spears. Bows would be used for long distance attack and could be used on foot or on horseback. During the Crusades, the archers with long bows would line up and fire over city walls…

    were designed to be towed to the target area by a full-sized “mother” submarine. The X-craft would then be detached and infiltrate the target, laying down two side charges, each containing 2 tonnes of amatol. They would then make their escape and rendezvous with the “mother” submarine to be towed home. The first attack was launched against the German battleship Bismarck. Six X-craft were designated for the operation, but two were lost to accidents en route, and a third suffered mechanical problems. The fourth X-craft was believed to have been sunk by German fire during the attack. The remaining two managed to lay their charges and seriously damage the Bismarck. Other X-craft played an important role with regards to the D-day landings. One surveyed the invasion beaches beforehand and collected soil samples, and two others acted as lightships during D-day itself to guide landing craft to the correct beaches.…

    POTUS Policy Memo

    Since, September 1, 2011, the United States has gone to extreme measures to not only fight terrorism but prevent it too. Under federal law, there are now criminal and civil penalties for anyone giving “material support” to a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). In Holder vs. Humanitarian Law Project, the Supreme Court accepted a very broad definition of what constitutes “material support.” The Court essentially held that one is guilty of providing “material support” if the aid provided to an organization may somehow get into the hands of an FTO. This becomes an issue for the United States government when we give money to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), as we tend to forget these rebels are fighting alongside terrorist organizations. Specifically, we have no way of knowing if the money…

    ered Army service in the 1960s, it was renamed the M16, in accordance with the Army Nomenclature System. “AR-15” came to refer to the rifle’s semi-automatic civilian equivalent. From 1994 to 2004, AR-15-style rifles were subject to the now-expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Since then, the rifle and others like it have become tremendously popular. Last month, I estimated that upward of 3.5 million AR-15-style rifles currently exist in the United States. People like the rifle because it is modular and thus customizable (one article calls the AR-15 “perhaps the most flexible firearm ever developed; in seconds, a carbine can be switched over to a long-range rifle by swapping upper receivers”), because it is easy to shoot, and because carrying it around makes you look like a badass.…

    Pakistan Artillery operated in Kashmir under several handicaps, except for the spirit and skill of our officers and men. Guns were employed with great care and full calculation of the risks involved. In spite of Indian monopoly of air, wherever our guns opened fire, the Indians were surprised and silenced receiving commensurate punishment. The feats like manhandling and taking the guns to heights of over 9000 feet on the peaks of Chunj, Kai and other features and engaging Indian forces, will remain a glowing chapter in the history of Pakistan Artillery. These officers and men were trained before the dawn of independence but they were Pakistanis, and so was their spirit and inspiration. For the first time since the disintegration of Mughal Empire, the people of this part of the land could feel making their own history.…
