Military service and alcohol-fueled tales of grandeur, as well as the tales of pure stupidity and recklessness, seem to go hand in hand. What some would call alcohol abuse, others would call a normal Friday night. The relationship between alcohol usage and the military cannot be overstated. I had just arrived at my new unit, […]
Adults. Why are they so dramatic about everything? They’re ruining all the things that matter to me — my parents won’t let me play with those kids from down the street; my teachers won’t let me have any fun when I want to. I guess I’ll just deal with it, what can you do? — The […]
Many people have noticed a shift in our culture toward what some have dubbed “Political Correctness,” or PC. This means that words, while technically legal, must be policed by others in order to preserve the sensibilities of those who might be offended or hurt. While you don’t see this enforcement too much in everyday life […]
“When I get out, I’m going to buy a piece of land in the heart of America. I’m going to run a farm, live off the land and live in peace.” This is the fantasy of many military men and women — they long for the physical labor and connection to nature, with the peace […]
The obesity problem and general lack of fitness in the United States is now affecting the armed forces and the pool of available recruits that the military needs to draw on to maintain the force. The Fayetteville Observer has looked at the growing issue of a lack of qualified recruits which is shrinking the available […]
A stroll through a bustling underpass in the centre of Istanbul offers the chance to buy a range of everyday goods: cheap watches, kettles, $2 emergency umbrellas to ward off autumn showers. And replica AK-47 assault rifles. While the rifles, and dozens of handguns displayed nearby, are imitations, they nevertheless stand out from the surrounding Karakoy stalls. […]
Many people don’t understand why universities include a core curriculum of mandatory study, one that usually includes study of classic western art and literature. This came about in the aftermath of World War I and was reinforced by the horrors of World War Two. The western world had come perilously close to destroying ourselves, our […]
Over the weekend, the Afghan National Army suffered one of its worst losses of life when unarmed soldiers leaving prayer services were ambushed by Taliban soldiers disguised as fellow Army members. To give perspective and “eyes-on-the-ground” experience, Buck brought on Zack Asmus, a writer for SOFREP and former Air Force Combat Controller who recently completed […]
Sources within the Special Operations community have described a situation to SOFREP in which SEAL Team Six operators are routinely high on drugs while conducting highly dangerous direct action missions while deployed abroad. Operators are known to abuse methamphetamine and other uppers on a regular basis during combat operations. The use of cocaine and methamphetamine is […]
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Commandant of the Marine Corps General Robert Neller took ownership in fixing the underlying cultural issues he says led to the “Marines United” scandal. “I’m not going to sit here and duck around this thing, I’m not. I’m responsible, I’m the commandant, I own this and we […]
Almost two years ago, the Strategic Studies Institute published an incredibly accurate depiction of the culture of lying that is so pervasive throughout the U.S. Army, specifically amongst the Officer corps and senior leadership, but also throughout the NCO ranks. In surprising detail, the authors of the study pick apart all of the little examples […]
I’ve owned a 1911 for some time, and although I’ve had other pistols before it, I’ve found that there aren’t very many guns I’m more accurate with than my trusty old black and brown .45. To be honest, I’ve never put much stock into the Glock vs 1911 debate. They’re both reliable, accurate, and easy […]
