From the Cold War to the War on Terror, various custom civilian-looking cars have been used by the military in different roles. But in 2018, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) announced that it was looking for a purpose-built non-standard commercial vehicle, called the PB-NSCV, to replace the current fleet of souped-up pickup trucks used by special operation forces across the Middle East.

Elizabeth Warren calls for racist laws
America has worked for a long time to try and achieve the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a society where we judge people by the content of the character and not the color of their skin. But Elizabeth Warren wants to create overtly racist laws which discriminate against men and women simply because of the color of their skin.
