Military Bases and the Threat of Internal Threats

US military bases, once seen as fortresses guarding against external threats, are now facing a new challenge - threats from within. A recent shooting incident at Fort Stewart, a US military base in Georgia, has exposed the vulnerability of these bases to internal threats. Fort Stewart, which houses the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division, a premier fighting force of around 20,000 soldiers, has been accustomed to guarding against external threats. However, experts say that this incident highlights the need for military bases to be equipped to handle internal threats as well.

Recently, several major retailers, including Zara, M&S, and Next, had ads banned over models that looked "unhealthily thin". This has led to a renewed debate about the appropriateness of using extremely thin models in advertising. Model and activist Charli Howard, who was dropped by her modeling agency for being "too big" despite being a UK size six to eight, has spoken out about the issue. She believes that the industry is still struggling to move away from the "size zero" ideal.
