Marcus Luttrell, the former Navy SEAL in ‘Lone Survivor’, has an awesome idea to fix the V.A. scandal.

If you had to put people, Senators — if they had to go for their V.A. to get care, it would probably get fixed.

Marcus Luttrell, the former Navy SEAL behind the book “Lone Survivor,” has a great idea to quickly fix the issues currently facing the Department of Veterans Affairs: Make U.S. senators go through the VA to get their medical care.

“If you had to put people, Senators — if they had to go for their V.A. to get care, it would probably get fixed,” Luttrell said on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning.

He also suggested a more realistic solution to address the inadequate care some of the nation’s veterans are currently receiving.

Rather than being thrown into the VA system, he said every combat veteran who is in need of medical care should be given a government-issued card that provides coverage in the private health care system — “no questions asked.”

“CHAMP” – Non-Nuclear EMP Weapon

Boeing’s “CHAMP” – Non-nuclear EMP weapon

"CHAMP" - Non-Nuclear EMP Weapon

The U.S. Air Force and Boeing recently tested a cruise missile not too different from a drone that is capable of selectively targeting buildings with an EMP blast that doesn’t harm civilians, but irreparably destroys electronics.

God bless America!

A recent weapons flight test in the Utah desert may change future warfare after the missile successfully defeated electronic targets with little to no collateral damage.

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate, Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., successfully tested the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) during a flight over the Utah Test and Training Range.

CHAMP, which renders electronic targets useless, is a non-kinetic alternative to traditional explosive weapons that use the energy of motion to defeat a target.

Power is cut to a room of computers after being hit by a high-powered microwave pulse from a Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project.

During the test, the CHAMP missile navigated a pre-programmed flight plan and emitted bursts of high-powered energy, effectively knocking out the target’s data and electronic subsystems. CHAMP allows for selective high-frequency radio wave strikes against numerous targets during a single mission.

“This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare,” said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. “In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy’s electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive.”

USS Freedom And USS Independence

Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Independence: free from outside control; not depending on anothers’ authority. Not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.

The littoral combat ship is a fast, agile, networked surface combatant designed to operate in the near-shore environment, while capable of open-ocean tasking, and win against 21st-century coastal threats such as submarines, mines, and swarming small craft.

The USS Freedom and USS Independence are the pioneering warships changing the face of battle on the sea with cutting edge design. Go inside the rigid testing that these ships must face to become part of the Navy. From a simulated high-speed attack to test the ships’ guns and cannons to helicopter launches and technical failures, watch these ships attempt to achieve their mission objectives to ultimately be integrated into the U.S. Navy’s Surface fleet.

Math teacher Jim O’Connor is former navy veteran who worked aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise during the Vietnam War. He is known as a strict teacher and refuses to baby his students at St. Francis High School near Los Angeles California. When his students learned where their math teacher spends his free time outside of the classroom, their respect for him multiplied exponentially.

As part of our continuing series “On the Road,” Steve Hartman meets the students of St. Francis High School near Los Angeles who thought they knew everything about their math teacher, Jim O’Connor. But what they found out at a local hospital taught them a life lesson.
