  • Stolen Valor Exposed: The Marine Sgt. Maj. Who Faked Military Honors
    2024/10/30

    Round 1: Marine Demoted for Wearing Unauthorized Decorations A senior Marine, then-Sgt. Maj. Charlie Clawson, was demoted to sergeant after a court-martial found him guilty of wearing unauthorized military awards, including the Purple Heart and Combat Action Ribbon, which represent significant honors. Clawson faced nine counts under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for "unbecoming conduct" and for submitting a fake doctoral degree. His actions are notable as one of the largest active-duty "stolen valor" cases in recent history. This issue shocked military figures, as Clawson held senior roles and received undeserved respect from peers. Round 2: Controversial Campaign Attire in Japan Female campaign staff for Japanese political candidate Masafumi Tabuchi drew attention for wearing mini-skirts and fishnets while working to attract votes, stirring online debate. Many saw this as inappropriate for the political setting, while Tabuchi claimed he was unaware of the attire choice until later. The incident generated discussion on social media about professionalism in political campaigns, and whether this tactic was an appeal to specific voters or merely a misjudgment in campaign attire. Round 3: Celebrity Endorsements in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election In the 2024 election, celebrities are split in support between candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Harris has garnered endorsements from prominent figures like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Oprah Winfrey, who align with her positions on social and climate issues. Trump’s support comes from influencers such as Elon Musk, Kid Rock, and Hulk Hogan, aligning with his business-focused policies and more conservative voter base. These endorsements reflect a division within the entertainment industry, with supporters using their platforms to rally voter engagement for each candidate. Round 5: Halloween vs. Christmas Decoration Dispute in Australia A neighborhood dispute arose in Queensland, Australia, where residents displaying Christmas decorations before Halloween received anonymous letters requesting they take them down to preserve Halloween’s atmosphere. One resident, Melanie Ryan, expressed frustration, noting her decorations bring joy, especially to her children. The anonymous letter argued that early Christmas decor undermines Halloween’s spirit, sparking a local debate over holiday timing and respect for festive traditions.

    2024/10/24

    Round 1: Ricochet Shot! During a campaign event for U.S. Senate candidate Lucas Kunce, a bullet fragment from his AR-15 ricocheted and struck a reporter, KSHB-TV’s Ryan Gamboa, in the arm. Kunce, a Democrat and former Marine, quickly administered first aid. Despite the incident, Gamboa continued reporting. The event, just two weeks before Election Day, provided some unintended publicity for Kunce as he faces a tough race against Republican Sen. Josh Hawley. Round 2: Horror in the Barracks A Fort Cavazos sergeant, Sgt. Greville Clarke, faces shocking allegations of breaking into barracks rooms and attacking female soldiers, including attempted rape, robbery, and even attempted murder. Clarke's actions have horrified the military community, and his trial is set for December. The case sheds light on alarming conditions within the barracks and the military's handling of such severe incidents. Round 3: Bad Judgment In an unusual rescue, a woman in New South Wales, Australia, got stuck between boulders for seven hours after slipping into a crevice while trying to retrieve her phone. After a lengthy, complicated rescue operation involving multiple agencies, she was safely freed with only minor injuries. However, her phone was not recovered.

  • Historic Hurricane Leads To Poop-Filled Cargo Pockets
    2024/10/09

    On this episode of Drop A Pin, we’re diving into the wildest times Mother Nature called the shots in war. First up, Napoleon thought he could just waltz into Russia in 1812 like, "Cool, we’ll wrap this up by fall." Spoiler: Russian winters had other plans, and dude lost 300,000 troops to frostbite and exile. Same thing happened to Hitler. These guys clearly don’t check the forecast. Then, good ol’ George Washington was about to get bodied by the British in Brooklyn. But a thick fog rolled in, and boom, he pulled a Houdini, sneaking all 9,000 troops across the East River without so much as a scratch. Brits woke up like, “Where’d everybody go?” Finally, during the War of 1812, the Brits were torching D.C. when a freakin’ tornado came in, put out their fires, sank some ships, and even offed a few soldiers. The Brits dipped so fast, they probably felt like the weather gods were out for them. And because we love some weather chat, we’ll finish off with a rundown on hurricanes, flying into storms, and the military’s epic struggle to stay afloat when the weather takes a turn for the insane. So buckle up for tornadoes, fog, and the occasional scoop-your-own-poop story from military history.
