Former top generals, Mark Milley and Kenneth McKenzie, testified about the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, blaming Biden's delayed evacuation orders. They criticized the administration's decision-making and highlighted State Department failures. Milley and McKenzie regretted not starting the evacuation sooner, unsure of the exact number of Americans left behind. The Biden administration dismissed their claims as political.

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows weāre
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.

many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring

artillery drills along the country's western coast.
The large-scale war drills staged
by the world's biggest nuclear weapons
state ... in the Korean Peninsula, where
a nuclear war may be ignited even with
a spark, can never be called 'defensive.', Korean Central News Agency, via 'Newsweek'.
North Korea's long-range artillery display
is meant to reinforce perception of the
nation's formidable military capabilities. .
The North Korean provocations that
Kim Jong Un enjoys the most, and the
South Korean military is most nervous
about, are ballistic-missile and long-
range-multiple-rocket-launcher fire. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
However, North Korea used 122 mm,
130 mm, 155 mm, [and] 220 mm field
artillery and multiple rocket launchers
in this drillāno large 400-plus mm
multiple rocket launchers and
short-range ballistic missiles. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff are closely
monitoring North Korea's military activity amid
the ongoing Freedom Shield joint military exercises.
Reuters reports that this year's exercises
involve twice the number of troops
than previous iterations.
North Korea's artillery fire drills are
demonstrations to show off their
numbers, not tactical exercises.
Firing hundreds of field artillery
pieces at once in a dense area
only measures that they were fired. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the

Modern artillery combat is more
about firing accurately from
a dispersed position, like the
'shoot and scoot' artillery tactic. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
