WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has realized that infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer did not attend several mandatory training requirements, including a Sexual Harassment Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) briefing while he was a combat medic that may have prevented his killing spree.

"We believe that if Specialist Dahmer would have attended those briefings, 17 people would likely not have been sexually assaulted," said Army chief of staff Gen. James McConville. "Unfortunately there is no mention of murder in the Army SHARP program so we cannot promise he would not have killed those people."

Those hypersonic missiles will not work well when the PLA carrier is underwater.

Of course, they are also not real "carriers".

They are just large cruisers with some aircraft on them.

Two Air Force warplanes intercepted a pair of Russian bombers flying in international airspace near Alaska, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Tuesday.

NORAD said it "detected, tracked, positively identified and intercepted" the two Russian Tu-95 Bear-H bombers "entering and operating within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ)." They were intercepted by a pair of F-16 fighter jets.

"The recent Russian activity in the North American ADIZ is not seen as a threat nor is the activity seen as provocative," NORAD said in a statement.

History is full of examples of dispirited armies that "quiet quit" — stopped attacking the enemy and essentially disengaged from battle. Here's why that happens, and what it could mean for the weary Russian army in Ukraine.

The secret lives of MI6’s top female spies
... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

My journey to the school for spies starts in the half-light of a waking city. I do not know where I am going and have only been instructed to meet my contact at a central London landmark. We travel by car, boat and train to a place where officers of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, the overseas espionage agency known as SIS, learn their craft. I am not allowed to describe it to you, but I can tell you this: it is giant and austere and the slicing wind makes my eyes water.

At the door, I am met by a small, cheerful woman with short, wavy blonde hair whose beaming welcome is at odds with the sterile eeriness of this place. Kathy, who is in charge of all intelligence operations by SIS officers and their agents around the world, ushers me over to a bank of armchairs next to a large window overlooking a paved landscape.

She jokes that when she was first offered a job at the agency, also known as MI6, her mother questioned whether she wanted to commit herself to something so “wacky and unfamiliar”. “My dad just said, ‘Go for it.’” This self-effacing northerner says she is “not particularly brave”. But she is one of the most powerful spies in Britain.

Kathy is one of four directors-general at SIS, each of whom reports to the chief, known as “C”. For the first time, three of them are women. They work in the most important and rapidly evolving areas of spycraft. Kathy is director of operations. Rebecca is the chief’s deputy, who oversees strategy. The most storied MI6 job of all belongs to Ada, who is the head of technology, known as “Q” after James Bond’s mastermind gadgeteer. I have spent six months interviewing them about how they reached the top in a traditionally male career and trying to understand what the life of a female spy is really like.

Since the chief of MI6 is the only member of the agency who is named or permitted to speak in public, and because all of them have been men, this is the first time that female SIS officers have ever spoken on the record. I have agreed to change their names and omit certain details to protect them and the sources they work with. They agreed to speak to encourage women applicants and correct the perception of espionage as a man’s game.
