This was one of the most meaningful articles ever written pointing out the cultural differences between Army and Navy Special Ops.

SOFREP’s 2012 Greatest Hits #3: The First Female Navy SEAL

Nobody likes change, just ask the military pilot ranks that saw the integration of females in combat aviation roles. However, change can be a good thing, especially when it comes to leveraging the opposite sex in Special Operations. I wrote this piece to perturb people into thinking about this issue. Welcome to the 21st Century […]

SOFREP’s 2012 Greatest Hits #4: No Easy Day…

Jack was first to strike when the controversial book “No Easy Day” broke headlines. The author Matt Bissonette himself called me up to explain things from his perspective.

So we tune in once again but continue to do relatively nothing to protect ourselves and children from these crazed maniacs. We do more to prevent weapons and bombs on planes then we do on school campuses. And so […]
