The last thing you ever want to do in life is to allow others to tell you where you are and where you are going. That kind of foolish blind trust can get you killed or lost at home and abroad. For the adventurer, you’re going to get stuck in situation after situation where people […]

In the name of whatever you people hold as holy, stop throwing around the word MANPADS. The word has left its technical description, and has simply become a finger-point against America. It’s a lazy acronym. Meanwhile, in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria; the bulk of weapon systems deployed are based on Russian design platforms.   The guided […]

It was the early 1990s, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and the Gulf War had recently ended. The military was scrambling to justify manpower, means, and technology to a Democratic Congress and the Clinton administration, which foolishly saw to cuts in defense until 2000. In the midst of this scramble a security and technology deployment […]
