American Sniper The Movie: Not What I Was Expecting

As a SEAL sniper instructor who has trained over 300 students, I was really excited to see and expecting so much more from this movie. Cooper delivered an amazing performance as Chris Kyle, but Eastwood’s magic was lost outside of the first and last minutes of American Sniper.

On Set With American Sniper The Movie

I know everyone is excited to see Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film, American Sniper, based on the life of my former SEAL TEAM 3 teammate Chris Kyle. I can tell you that it’s going to be great movie and takes a look at the complications of being a sniper on and off the battlefield. Eastwood, Cooper […]

The Political Circus Around The CIA Torture Report

Most of what was in this report had already been widely known and discussed. Also interesting to note that the Oversight Committee appears to not provide any oversight at all, just deal with the problem after it breaks in the media. The politicians also appear to be great at the political grandstanding that happens in […]

Q&A With Nick Irving, Author of “The Reaper”

I recently had a chance to catch up with my friend and former U.S. Army Ranger sniper Nick Irving. Nick has written for SOFREP in the past, and recently finished a book with St. Martin’s Press called “The Reaper.” I read the advanced copy, and it’s legit.

I’m not going to get into a debate on use of force but I will say, a confrontation, un-armed or not, is still a confrontation. Threat management is a big factor to consider. The NYPD officers reacted instictively to a tough situation. An accident happened with Eric Garner. If you think those officers intended to […]

SOFREP Indie Short Documentary: The GROM of Poland

Last year I had the honor to visit Poland and our SOF GROM teammates with my friend Drago. The GROM Commander, and the unit themselves, were amazing hosts. Thank you to GROM, “Naval” for coordinating,  the folks at the Warsaw Uprising Museum, and most importantly the great people of Poland. The documentary took a while because […]

Exclusive: Modern American Snipers Excerpt, A SOFREP Original Book

Chapter 2 Excerpt… The idea of bandana-and-bandolier-adorned Green Berets and Navy SEALs sneaking through the jungle deep behind enemy lines remains a popular one. But it’s been joined in the collective consciousness by the veiled operator decked out with insectoid panoramic night vision goggles (NVGs) and suppressed weaponry moving through urban strongholds in the dead […]

Three Reasons Why SEAL Leaders Are Upset at O’Neill & Bissonnette

The Deed is All, Not The Glory These words hang on a sign at the back entrance of certain units within JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command), which in itself explains the current problem and conflict created in the SEAL community. It’s likely why the SEAL Admiral and Master Chief sent out a stern letter seemingly directed […]

Veterans Day Exclusive: Among Heroes

I wrote this book for my teammates who are no longer here, and I couldn’t think of a better day to give everyone a preview. I just received cover approval from my editor Brent Howard, and wanted to share with the SOFREP community first. The book is now available for pre-order at B&N and Amazon. […]
