United States Army

The United States Army, a branch of the US military responsible for land-based military operations, is currently facing scrutiny across multiple fronts. Recent news highlights the Army's involvement, directly or indirectly, in several controversial situations. These include the aftermath of a mid-air collision near Washington D.C. in early 2025 involving a Black Hawk helicopter, the potential deployment of 1,500 soldiers to Minnesota amid protests against deportation policies, and the use of Fort Bliss, a US Army base, as an immigrant detention facility where deaths have occurred. Furthermore, the Army is facing delays in fielding its first hypersonic missile, a key Pentagon priority. Adding to these challenges, a civil suit has been filed against an Army gynecologist accused of secretly filming patients, raising serious concerns about misconduct within the ranks. These events collectively paint a picture of an organization grappling with operational setbacks, ethical concerns, and its role in domestic affairs.
