"Friday, June 14 is the U.S. Army’s 244th birthday. Since it was born in 1775, even before the birth of the nation itself, the Army has always responded to fight our wars, provide disaster support, build dams and levees, enforce desegregation, and help partner nations develop their own armies."

This week, Heritage colleague Jason Snead joins Elizabeth Slattery to slog through recent snooze-worthy opinions. Elizabeth also chats with Ed Whelan and Chris Scalia about "On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer."
