...Somalia, which boasts the longest coastline in Africa, is no easy place to monitor. Combined Task Force 150, a joint naval unit that includes forces from the U.S., Germany, France and sometimes Britain and Italy, already patrols the Gulf of Aden and the waters around the Horn of Africa, searching for suspected terrorists who may be moving equipment or people by sea or planning a maritime attack. The reduced number of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden is a "side effect of Operation Enduring Freedom," says Commander Dirk Gross at the German Defense Ministry in Berlin.

...Bobcats outshot it 24-to-16 and scored three goals to Harvard’s two. Eighteen of those shots came in the third period, when Boe had to save a barrage at the end to seal the win for the Crimson.

On the eve of his country's war for independence in 1948, Rabin was persuaded by his military superiors to abandon his study plans and join the battle. He was charged with helping to break the Arab blockade of Jerusalem and to keep the road...

This violence is filtered through the eyes of narrator Anthony Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal), the everyman U.S. Marine, or “jarhead,” whose war autobiography this movie adapts. While training, Swofford is selected to join an elite scout unit, and he trades in his girlfriend for a sniper rifle and Peter Sarsgaard, his increasingly unstable spotter. Sergeant Siek (Jamie Foxx) leads Swofford’s unit, and it’s not that he’s a bad guy—he just enjoys torturing...
