Me and the guys also want to provide a forum (of the not-so-creepy type) where women can ask questions and get tips on self defense from guys who know what’s up. Where can you ask an […]

Afghan Heroin and JAG Witch Hunts: Afghanistan Lost, Again

So what determines victory in Afghanistan? If you asked me after 9-11, my answer would have been simple and probably shared by a lot of SOF operators.

The Way Forward: McRaven’s Request for More US SOCOM Agility

Fighting an enemy that has no rules, no borders and a radical point of view is a tough thing to do these days.  It reminds me of how we fought and won our independence from the British.  We were significantly outnumbered, out funded, and somehow made it happen.  This lesson on warfare without rules should […]
