World
— 4d
U.S. prosecutors say an Iranian-linked operative in a New York jail used coded calls to help direct a failed attack on RAF Fairford, a British base hosting U.S. aircraft. The indictment alleges two co-defendants and UK associates prepared fuel-filled vans for the plot; the defendants face terrorism-related charges.

Air Force Major Charged Over Trump Criticism
Donald John Trump
— Aug 24, 2026
Maj. Jason Watson, a U.S. Air Force major who was arrested during a Capitol protest and after a CNN interview, has been formally charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice with three Article 88 contempt-and remarks about President Trump, five Article 92 disobeying orders, and two Article 133 conduct unbecoming of an officer. The case could lead to years in prison, discharge, or loss of benefits if referred to a general court-martial, though the Air Force says he is presumed innocent and the Air Force District of Washington will handle the proceedings.

Hegseth Details Pentagon Religious Affairs Office
Peter Hegseth
— Sep 28, 2026
At Quantico, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paired plans to cut general and flag officer positions by 20% with attacks on “woke” policies and the media, and announced a new Office of Religious Affairs to strengthen religious support in the military. The initiative comes amid criticism that a newly shortened list of military religious-affiliation codes excludes atheism; the Air Force says the change standardizes records, while critics say it risks sidelining non-Christian service members.

The Eurofighter escort was probably necessary yet the separate drone reports deserve a full check before ruling them out.

Nashville Airport Begins Dolly Parton Renaming Process
Dolly Parton
— Sep 9, 2026
The Metro Nashville Airport Authority is moving to rename Nashville International Airport 'Dolly Parton International Airport' while keeping the BNA code, with a board vote anticipated and broad support from Gov. Bill Lee and Parton’s family. The change would cost millions, still requires FAA approval, and could take six months to a year for signage if the two-year-death naming rule is waived.
