Time for some straight talk. Almost 19 years of war and we’re still in Afghanistan; my generation’s Vietnam with a better homecoming. Failed American foreign policy strategy over three Presidential Administrations (both parties), has led to the destabilization of the Middle East, set the stage for civil war in Syria, caused the rise of ISIS […]
After nearly a year out east, I returned to California in January of 1994 with orders to report to HS-10, the helicopter training squadron in San Diego where I would spend six months learning the ropes before finally deploying as part of an operational squadron. But there were a few more hurdles to clear first, […]
In the spring of 2000 our eighteen-month work-up concluded with an Operational Readiness Exam (ORE), conducted off San Clemente Island, in which a small group of us simulated a covert tagging and tracking op on an enemy vessel. There were some tricky issues with water currents on the way back in, and things got sketchy. […]
The concern around intellectual property, industrial subsidies, currency manipulation, and forced technology transfers from U.S. companies to Chinese counterparts is real, but America needs to look to the future, not the past. Thinking about what the global economy will look like in the next century is the main reason America should still want healthy trade […]
“The 21st Century is ushering in a tremendous shift in training methodology and technology implementation in the asymmetric battle field. The modern day sniper is evolving with this shift and turning into one of the most effective tools in the inventory.”-Brandon Webb, Former SEAL Sniper Course Manager. “How do you know where you’re going if you […]
The fire on board the Conception is a nightmare scenario. A wood and fiberglass boat, at night, while passengers are engulfed in flames as they sleep below decks. By the time the crew wakes up, there’s not much to do but save your own life at that point, a terrible thing to even imagine. The […]
To prove the value of mental management and rehearsal, I would often relate a true story related to the topic. A Navy fighter pilot was shot down in Vietnam, captured and imprisoned for years in the famous prisoner of war camp the “Hanoi Hilton”. The pilot was an avid golfer back home, and to get […]
It’s pretty safe to say that most Spec Ops/SOF guys have no inner monologue. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on the road with the guys and some single Team Guy will say out loud “boy, I would really like to rip our waitress’s clothes off.” This would be alright if she […]
The cold morning air hung thick in the Afghan valley. Each warm exhale would briefly fog the outside corner of my riflescope as I waited and maintained a clear view of my target. I could make out a middle-aged man, in traditional Afghan dress, with a crook in his step, perhaps a wound and story […]
You don’t have to like it, but it’s coming: another four years of President Trump. His base has never been stronger, he’s got a massive war chest, and he has singular focus. The Democrats are eating themselves alive and the party is at odds with itself. Whatever side of the political spectrum you identify with, […]
My friend Glen (Navy SEAL/CIA, KIA in Benghazi, Libya in 2012) and I departed from Peoria, Illinois and started to pick up ice climbing through 4,000 feet just after losing communications with departure control. Fun meter pegged. I had purchased my first airplane in 2003, a little 1980 Cessna 172 and had this great idea […]
Three thousand Americans lost their lives in the attacks on 9/11. More than 23,000 Americans have been killed or wounded in the Afghanistan conflict. It’s simple math. The war in Afghanistan has resulted in a terrible loss of American life, robbing us of some of our greatest and brightest. For what? To nation build? When […]
