Navy Shoots First, & Asks Questions Later Off Dubai U.A.E.: One KIA

I was on the USS Cole hours after it was hit by a suicide boat in the port of Aden, Yemen. It’s a tough situation to be in. It appears that security forces got a little trigger happy aboard a U.S.N.S. supply ship, and opened up on a white pleasure craft. It’s a tough situation […]

The Heroic Life of Navy SEAL Adam Brown: FEARLESS

I don’t normally read SEAL books but somehow this one grabbed me.  I emailed the author of FEARLESS, Eric Blehm, to talk about a SOFREP radio interview. He agreed but asked if I’d read the book yet. I had to come clean and say, “No I haven’t”. I’ve done radio interviews with hosts who haven’t […]

American Heroes of World War II: Never Forget

This video was originally titled “African American Heroes.”  I changed it and hope we can get rid of those silly little boxes people want us to “check” (African American, Caucasian, Asian, etc.). I prefer to “check” American citizen. Enjoy this video that honors true American Heroes of World War II. %EMBED2%

Lions Lead By Lambs: Washington’s Special Operations Power Grab

Occasionally I’ll read something that will just make me pause and say “WTF, over”. Today was one of those days, thanks to Linda Robinson and her weak Congressional testimony. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Special Operations is the new conventional force in the 21st Century. The entire DOD organization has shifted towards a Special Operations […]

Congressional Candidate Busted For Stolen Valor Lie Drops Out Of Race

Congressional candidate and “progressive Democrat” (still trying to figure out what that means), Ken Aden, embelished a bit and told people during an interview that he was,  “you know, Green Berets, Special Forces…”. It’s nice to see that citizens are policing up these punch bowl turds (e.g. these guys stick out like a turd in […]

The Red Circle Audio Book Will Benefit SOF Charities

My agent Margret McBride was wise enough to carve out the audio book rights as our own. Audio Ambush MacMillan Audio actually produced the book without our knowledge and then tried to negotiate a deal with me after-the-fact. They spent some serious money hiring an actor to read the book and had actually sold pre-orders! […]

Taliban Publicly Execute Young Woman In the Name of Allah

Here’s a glimpse of what will continue to happen on a regular basis when U.S. forces pull out of Afghanistan. It takes more than drone strikes and HVT hits to unwind hundreds of years of barbaric culture. It takes a commitment that few understand (most Army SF I know realize this), certainly not most U.S. […]

Men With Green Faces: First Navy SEALs In Vietnam

This video link was given to us by a SOFREP reader.  I remember watching parts of this video in a movie I bought about SEALs when I was eighteen years old.  I love this shit, it’s a great short with lots of good lessons learned that a few SOCOM Commanders I know should take to […]

Russian Combatives System

This is a great video that reminds me of the Scientific Combat Reactionary System (SCARS) program we used in the SEALs in the 90’s. I love the fact that they don’t use padding, sometimes getting punched in the nose builds character… Brandon %EMBED2%

The 75th Ranger Regiment Goes To Hollywood

I can honestly say that I’m glad to see some other units getting their share of the spotlight. As much as I love the SEAL community and am proud of my book The Red Circle (FYI-Red Circle audio is live and includes new content and proceeds help SOF charities), the SEALs have had too much […]

US Navy SEAL/SWCC Open Ocean C-5 Boat Jump

Here’s a great look at a unique Navy SEAL/SWCC capability, open water Military Free Fall . This video shows SEAL/SWCC conducting ocean sky diving with boat deployment from a C-5. Any ocean, any time. %EMBED1%

Black Ops & The Likely Assassination of Yasser Arafat

Arafat has long been a pain in the ass for most western countries with close ties to Israel. A self-proclaimed freedom fighter, he made no secret about using terrorist tactics to accomplish his agenda.  His celebrity-like charisma polarized the Palestinian population, forced the U.S. to acknowledge him, and ultimately made him a dead man walking […]
