Is Pakistan Heading Towards a Cliff?
Former self-appointed (and then, elected) President Pervez Musharraf recently returned to Pakistan to throw in a bid for power in what looks like a very risky move. He left the office amid political pressure and a looming impeachment hearing. He became very unpopular in Pakistan after publicly siding with the U.S.-led Global War on Terror […]
Extortion 17 Heroes
Many of our regular readers have asked us what we think about the recent news of some of the Extortion 17 families coming forward to discuss their concerns with the press. We have made an editorial decision to stay out of this. In fact, earlier this month I made the decision that SOFREP will focus […]
SOFREP on Newsmax TV Discussing Benghazi
I talk with Steve Malzberg of Newsmax about Benghazi. We discuss a threat assessment report that the Dept. of State conducts on facilities world-wide called the SETL (Security Environment Threat List), and why this important document has been overlooked. The SETL has four categories of threat: Low Medium High Critical This document is used to […]
U.S. Foreign Policy Lost…and Found
The U.S. Special Operations war machine has been honed sharp after a decade of fighting but it is becoming increasingly dull by the day…
GROM Visit & Czerwony Krąg: Post #1

Tragic that this happened, and my thoughts are with the victims in Boston. I feel connected to Boston through my best […]

The Ian Scotto Show w/Guest #001: Navy SEAL Brandon Webb
I first met Ian when working with Andrew Wilkow on his show on SIRIUS XM radio. Andrew and I became fast friends, and I also met a friend in Ian. I instantly said yes when he asked if I’d be his first guest on his new podcast. I like that he is taking the bull […]
Important Questions For Esquire’s Granger and Bronstein to Answer
“The Shooter”, and other Unanswered Questions… Esquire appears emotionally attached to their story, and they’re not looking objectively at the situation. Sure their guy was on the raid, is known in the community, and would have checked out as legit. There’s never been an issue with any of that. The main issues I have with […]

Accountability Lost: Benghazi
The September 11th, 2012 attack on the State Department compound in Benghazi, Libya is important, and should be studied because in the big picture it represents a failed foreign policy that spans across both Bush and Obama Presidencies. America does not have a clear strategic objective when it comes to foreign diplomacy, and in fact […]
The SOF Community Takes Care of Its Own
One of the great things about having SOFREP.com is that the editors and I have a chance to archive and share some amazing stories about SOF Operators that would otherwise go untold. We have also created a great community in SOFREP.com itself that includes intelligent, hardworking people from all different racial, religious, and political backgrounds. […]
