May 29, 1886: pharmacist John Pemberton and Confederate States Army veteran the inventor of Coca-Cola, places his first advertisement for Coca-Cola, which appeared in The Atlanta Journal.


Pemberton suffered from a sabre wound sustained in April 1865, during the Battle of Columbus. His efforts to control his chronic pain led to morphine addiction. In an attempt to curb his addiction he began to experiment with various painkillers and toxins. The development of an earlier beverage blending alcohol and cocaine led to the recipe that later was adapted to make Coca-Cola. He sold its rights to the drink shortly before his death in 1888. Just imagine if he didn't get injured in the war; we might not of ever got to drink coke! Drank it like crazy as a kid but haven't had a coke or really any soda in past several years.

About as relevant a topic to national security as you'll find. The world has evolved, but we're still operating off a childcare model that predates the Clinton Administration...

Families across the country have been increasingly struggling with the soaring cost of child care and monthslong waitlists after more than 100,000 workers left the industry and more than 16,000 child care centers permanently closed during the pandemic.

The military has offered child care on its bases for several decades after Congress mandated in 1989 that the Defense Department develop its own formal child care system. The Pentagon now has the nation’s largest employer-run child care operation, providing subsidized child care to more than 200,000 children. But like other child care providers, it too has struggled to find enough workers since the pandemic, leaving around 9,000 children on monthslong waitlists for military-run child care centers.

She said the struggle to find child care and the frequent moves have prevented her from working in the 14 years since she married her husband, despite being a registered nurse and having a degree in geospatial intelligence.“Child care is so very expensive. We’re here on a military salary, which doesn’t compete with the private sector,” said Robinson. “I see a lot of people struggling with ‘How do I pay for the child care that I need to get a job, but I don’t have a job to pay for the child care?’”

Robinson’s family is currently stationed in the Washington, D.C., region, where the demand is so high that the only children to receive spots at her husband’s base are those of single parents or parents who are both in the military, she said. The privately run day cares in the region average $24,000 a year. As a result, she says, she’s had to put her professional aspirations on hold indefinitely.

America's child care shortage is pushing military families to a breaking point
