I often find myself in countries where I either cannot obtain a handgun or I am not permitted to carry one outside of a military capacity. The alternative to this is a concealed knife, preferably a fixed blade but on occasion a folding knife. A knife can be procured almost anywhere and while not a […]
Ukraine has rather strict firearms laws but still permits civilian ownership in some facets. Rifles are easily obtained for recreational use provided the proper documentation is submitted and approved but pistols are illegal for private ownership. This leaves citizens with two primary options for personal protection in everyday carry, a knife or a traumatic pistol. […]
It was early 2016 and I was providing routine infantry training for the Peshmerga of 3rd Brigade at a base near the city of Sulaymania in Iraqi Kurdistan. I remember we had just finished out the day at the range with some fire and maneuver drills; I sat down with a cup of chai in […]
Having spent an enlistment in the Marine Corps, I understand the conventional side of the military.

Kurt: What’s your military background? Mike: So 2 years in the Marines and 2 years in the Army. I’ve realized I’m young and impatient so everywhere I’m at I’m always convinced I should be doing something better. Got bored in the Marines as a radio guy, so I tried to go SF in the Army and […]
It was a cold early morning in southern Iraq as I stepped outside and up to the B6 Land Cruisers parked next to the curb. I was on my way to assist another sister security company in completing a site survey for an upcoming contract near the Iranian border; about 300km from my location that […]
Much of this will fall on deaf ears and many will continue to live in denial but the Kurdish people have grown incredibly weary of foreign volunteers over the course of their war with ISIS. This is due to several key factors that have cullminated into a distaste for outside help that doesn’t come in […]
PJ and I were in the same Peshmerga units before he left to fight in Syria alongside the YPG. He is an exceptional warrior that embodies the spirit of the Marine Corps with a sense of humor that cannot be matched, Semper Fidelis brother. Kurt: What’s your military background? PJ: 0351 infantry assaultman UCMC […]
On October 7th, the Peshmerga over at 9th brigade conducted a coordinated strike via artillery fire on a large gathering of ISIS members. The strike took place west of the city of Daquq, just outside of the Kirkuk province. A battle damage assessment has not been released but it’s speculated that dozens of ISIS fighters were […]
Everyone, civilian or military, who enjoys weapons loves to trick out their gun. We all have personal preferences to how we set up our firearms to cater to our own style of shooting. Maybe it’s technique that dictates specific placement of certain mods, it could be purpose-driven reasons for particular accessories, or maybe it’s just […]
The YPG have been making huge strides in just the last two years but especially the recent push towards Raqqa. The war in Syria is a complex and constantly changing conflict; no one seems to really have an idea of when it will be over and who will be the top dogs when the dust […]
