This week in the military, the Justice Department is seeking a 17-year prison sentence for a Marine veteran who assaulted a police officer with the Marine Corps flag on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, and the Army is looking to change how it conducts barracks inspections after moldy barracks at Fort Bragg caused the planned relocation of over 1,000 soldiers.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the deadly bombing at Abbey Gate, an entrance to the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, which was subject to a suicide bombing that killed an estimated 170 Afghans trying to escape the draconian rule of the Taliban and 13 U.S. service members.
