US Lags Behind Israel & S. Korea with Allowing Women in Spec Ops Units

Nobody likes change. We’ve done several posts about women in combat and Special Ops from a wide range of view points.

The Foundation had just been established when I found out that I had lost my best friend and SEAL teammate, Glen Doherty. It was through my experience dealing with Glen’s departure […]

Jesse Ventura Sues Wife of Slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle

Lawyers for Ventura have asked a federal court to continue his lawsuit against Chris Kyle — who was killed in February by a young veteran he was mentoring — by substituting Kyle’s wife, Taya, as the defendant.

The trouble with Syria is that it’s getting harder and harder not to ignore the civil war when estimates of the dead are reaching close to a hundred thousand, and with what looks a lot like genocide happening.  To put that number in perspective, U.S. casualties in both Iraq and Afghanistan (pictured) since 9-11 pale […]
