Taliban and Radical Islamic Extremism Up Close & Personal

SOFREP reader Don Buckman first let us know about this video. Thanks Don.

The amount of explosives in the truck would have been massive to create that big of an explosion. Also […]

GovX Explained

We’ve received quite a few emails from SOFREP mafia asking about GovX and eligibility.  As most of you are aware, my goal with SOFREP is to partner with great brands/companies, and GovX definitely falls into this category. What is GovX? It’s like shopping on base only you have access to better brands with the same […]

War Stories: 36 Pax Bus Driver Test

FYI-This story didn’t make The Red Circle. I was a new guy on probation at SEAL Team 3 (it’s different now, you get your Trident after SEAL Qualification Training) and serving in a support role.  Need a boat driver for a platoon training dive? “Hey new guy, get over here..”.

Glen Doherty’s CrossFit Hero Workout Bio

Motive In The Middle East: All Roads Lead To Tehran

We pointed out in our recent SOFREP e-book (No Easy OP) analysis of the book No Easy Day, motive and incentive is the leash that often tugs people and organizations towards certain action.

Not a good day for the Special Operations community. More to follow soon.

Why the Department of Defense Will Seize No Easy Day Profits & Not Prosecute

The Penguin imprint of Dutton will go unscathed and will keep their profits. They weren’t the source of the leak and “Don’t shoot the messenger”, they’ll say. This will make the bean counters happy and make the editor a made man. There should still be some accountability with publishers these days and Penguin shouldn’t get […]

No Easy Day’s Mark Owen & The British SIS/MI6

Just got this via our Comms Check from a reader in the UK. Thought you guys would find it interesting. He writes: I’m British, former SAS. The UK government has a policy of neither confirming nor denying (anything). We had two SIS/MI6 intel guys follow the route of the CIA’s Frank Snepp and John Stockwell […]

Never Forget

The Heroes…   The Radical Ideology that must be dealt with…   That Every U.S. Citizen Can Have a Positive Influence On Our Future…   This is one of my favorite songs. Never Forget. One Team, One Fight. %EMBED2%

News: America’s Secret War with Russia

Putin has made it very clear to America that they are supporting the Syrian leader Bashir. As much as I acknowledge the human toll and atrocities, there’s something to be said about loyalty. I have to give Putin and the Russians a hat tip for standing firm, and we best think twice about underestimating Russia and […]
