RIGHT-CENTER BIAS, HIGH, non-profit organization
Although he was in power for only a handful of years, Hitler and his Nazi government slaughtered millions. One of the more well-known victims of that slaughter was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on April 8th, 1945, a few short weeks before Hitler’s own death. Unlike many of Hitler’s victims, Bonhoeffer was not a Jew, but a Lutheran minister, scholar, and theologian who boldly spoke against Hitler’s policies. Bonhoeffer landed a position in the German government during WWII and subsequently used that position as a cover for assassination attempts against Hitler. While awaiting execution, Bonhoeffer recorded a number of his thoughts in a work we now know as Letters and Papers from Prison. One of these essays, entitled On Stupidity, records some of the problems which Bonhoeffer likely saw at work in Hitler’s rise to power.

A Kosovar Army? Now Is the Time for U.S. Leadership
NATO has kept a peacekeeping force in Kosovo, the Kosovo Force (KFOR), since 1999. Today, more than a decade after declaring independence, many leaders in Kosovo want to transform KFOR’s Kosovo Security Force, which is mostly responsible for crisis response, into the Kosovo Army, a move strongly opposed by Serbia. The U.S. has invested much blood and treasure in the Balkans since the end of the Cold War, and the region continues to be an area of potential instability; it is therefore in America’s interest to take a clear position on the issue of a potential national army in Kosovo. The U.S. should firmly state that, as an independent, sovereign nation state, Kosovo has the right to develop a professional army. Any future Kosovo Army must be developed in consultation with NATO, should adhere to NATO standards, and aim for interoperability with Alliance nations.

The Bloodiest Battle In American History
One hundred years ago this week doughboys of the American Expeditionary Forces went over the top in the Meuse River–Argonne Forest region of France, marking the beginning of what would become the bloodiest battle in American history. More than 1.2 million American soldiers took part in the six-week battle, part of a larger Allied effort known as the Hundred Days Offensive. By the time the battle concluded with an armistice on November 11, 1918, more than 26,000 U.S. soldiers—half of American combat fatalities in the Great War—would lie dead on the blood-soaked fields of France, with another 100,000 wounded-in-action.
