By Will Grant Feral hogs occupy a unique place among wildlife in this country. Early Spanish explorers brought the first hogs to North America as a food source more than 300 years ago. In the 1930s, European wild hogs, or Russian Boars, were imported by sportsmen and landowners for sport hunting. The hogs are feral; they are not native to North America. The populations we see today, which are largely in the Southeast US, are the descendants of escaped animals....

By Will Grant The US presence in Iraq has faded. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan looms on the horizon. The first chapters may be closing in our introduction to modern warfare—the age of MRAPs, iPads, air strikes called in with cell phones, and everyone wears Camelbak hydration systems. This age of modern warfare has, not surprisingly, spawned a contingent of modern war correspondents. Just like soldiers, they shoot video with cell phones, they hammer out Twitter posts from the front lines,...

By Philip Dwyer Pirates in the Gulf of Aden – A Scenario The thick salty air hangs low as evening nautical twilight gives way to the night’s pitch black. With cloud cover hanging low, the running lights on the fully ladened freighter are the only lights that Mark sees as he stands watch on the port-side, upper deck.
