Man accuses commander of having an affair with his wife, they fight, witnessed by commander’s daughter, who texts friends. Man disappears, turns up dead in the bay. Quite a tale. mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-…

One good way to ensure the troops get to watch football would be for them not to be deployed to pointless wars. #ForeverWar teapawt.net/jaketapper/status/9548…
Deployed troops will not be able to view this weekend's playoff games because the armed services network is down due to the shutdown, the Pentagon tells @barbarastarrcnn
