Liberals are running scared of a Trump presidency. This reveals the problem with their logic that bigger government yields bigger and better results. They definitely yield big results and represent big potential, but in what direction falls victim to the occupying government in power. A big government that works for everyone and solves problems sounds […]

When and if you go to selection, you’ll no doubt hear it was harder “back in the day.” Regardless of when you go, you can’t just wing it. Everything about selection is personal. There are trials where you’re working in teams, but it’s still a personal evaluation. There is no team, only individuals. Beyond that, […]

The Russians employed “active measures” against the United States and undermined our election process. We should remain skeptical of the results, not optimistic. Putin’s congratulations to President-elect Trump may signify a few things. It could be sincere, but it’s likely just part of his calculus. Russia played a role in this election, and it’s alarming. That […]

President-elect Donald Trump has alot to consider. Rather, his running mate, Mike Pence, will be overwhelmed with vetting and working to fill a government under a short time period. But something that is almost independent from the planning is Secretary of Defense. Because a life of work and expertise is so finite compared to most […]

Japan is asking it’s youth to learn computer coding as a second language. Computers are unavoidable. As much as politicians must listen to the concerns and woes of the people. They must analyze the problems they face – and help frame answers. The answer is STEM – IT professionals, people who can code. We’re generating […]

The future of news isn’t dim – it’s extremely bright and on an excel spreadsheet. Coverage and news will become metadata for us to digest. An organization lambasted for its liberal bend – appeared on my newsfeed via conservatives more so than any other news service. This tells me there is value in the institution. […]

The lost of life and burden of the ongoing battle will continue to be a weight carried exclusively by Special Operations. There’s little avoiding the reality of the world. It’s dangerous and wild. There’s a higher probability of low intensity conflict around the globe than larger, conventional, open warfare. There’s a war in the shadows […]

Al-Jafr Air Base is a relatively desolate and deserted base. It’s smack in the middle of desert. There is not much around it, and even less in its outer corridor. But one place near it that is of consequence is Maan, Jordan. Maan, more than any other spot in Jordan, is an ISIL hotspot. Salafi […]

Our votes will go to waste and the coming revolution will be filled with more phony politicians if we don’t get involved, right now. For many in the country last night’s victory is a repudiation of a great deal of things. If Facebook is any indicator that people are sick of “safe spaces” and PC […]

Jordan, probably the safest nation in the Middle East, is not immune from home-brew extremist thought and acts of violence. Recently, three Special Forces soldiers were killed in Jordan outside of al-Jafr air base. The recent loss of life in Jordan reminds us how fragile safety is in the Middle East and throughout the world, […]

The horrors do not desist. The basic respect for humanity that was an assumed human trait has been betrayed. This betrayal is the greatest since the atrocities of World War Two. As humans, we put up with injustice, daily, in the world. Death and an overall bleak picture rules the world, but we’ve always believed humans […]

You aren’t going to read about losses of life from conventional units. But, Special Forces and SOF are in danger and always will be. This past week has been heartbreaking. Six Special Forces soldiers have lost their lives. Our deepest condolences go out to their families. This is a sad week for the regiment. It […]
