There have long been rumors that the Skull and Bones fraternity house in New Haven contains the skull of Apache leader Geronimo.
A researcher unearthed a letter in 2006 that seemed to corroborate that claim.
I found two more letters in Yale’s archives, along with more corroborating evidence.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Dogs serve many roles in the Ukrainian military — including being best friends who keep their humans warm as temperatures drop.
No winter chill can compete with a loyal companion by your side, and sometimes the warmest armor is a wagging tail. This soldier clearly has the right idea!
