   A military is an organization authorized by its nation to use force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country (or by attacking other countries) by combating actual or perceived threats. As an adjective the term "military" is also used to refer to any property or aspect of a military. Militaries often function as societies within societies, by having their own military communities, economies, education, medicine and other aspects of a functioning civilian society. The profession of soldiering as part of a military group is older than recorded history itself. Some of the most enduring images of the classical antiquity portray the power and feats of its military leaders. The Battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC was one of the defining points of Pharaoh Ramesses II's reign and is celebrated in bas-relief on his monuments.[1] A thousand years later the first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang, was so determined to impress the gods with his military might that he was buried with an army of terracotta soldiers.[1] The Romans were dedicated to military matters, leaving to posterity many treatises and writings as well as a large number of lavishly carved triumphal arches and columns. In the modern era, world wars and countless other major conflicts have changed the employment of the militaries beyond recognition to their ancient participants. Empires have come and gone; states have grown and declined. Enormous social changes have been wrought, and military power continues to dominate international relations. The role of the military today is as central to global societies as it ever was.

November 20, 2009
A sword is basically a long piece of metal that is used by many civilizations throughout the world as a cutting device or more frequently, as a weapon. Unlike the spear or the bow, swords are used purely as a military weapon. The shape of a sword is typically symbolic of warfare or a culture’s state of power. There are multiple types of swords from all over the world, from all different times. However, the anatomy of all swords is pretty similar across the globe.
The traditional sword is made up of a blade and a hilt. One can perform three types of attacks with the blade; that is striking... (read more)

2. Laser weapons will be the next generation of precision-guided munitions
November 20, 2009

3. FEL Naval ship board laser program & other future weapons
November 20, 2009
Advanced research at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is perfecting directed energy and hypersonic weapons that may soon join the handful of inventions that have transformed the military's ability to deliver energy fast, accurately and at a safe distance.
When the musket was added to the infantryman's standard issue, common sense dictates the impact it had on the sword; and when cruise missiles were introduced to naval fleets, strategies and concepts of operations on how ships can support battle changed completely.
Now, directed energy and hypersonic weapons could well herald the ... (read more)

6. Acronyms Explained
November 19, 2009
There is no other industry I have seen, including the military, that uses acronyms as much as the telecom industry. Something that seems as simple as picking up the handset, dialing a number and getting someone on the other end can be rendered totally confusing by acronyms when talking about how it all takes place and the equipment needed. This tends to cause people to shy away from dealing with their system and why a lot of companies still have equipment that should be upgraded or replaced. As long as they still get that dial tone and can make and receive calls it is easier to avoid talking t... (read more)

Ok, I admit it, I am a science junkie. I’m not really smart enough to understand all of the stuff I read, but I still find it fascinating. It probably goes hand in hand with being a lover of science fiction.
