Vogue Magazine recently did a feature including a photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz on Chelsea Manning, who they’re touting as a hero. “Chelsea Manning Changed the Course of History. Now She’s Focusing on Herself” and it is eye-opening and would be comical if it weren’t so serious. Hero? Hardly, she’s fortunate she’s not still in […]

I cannot believe it is 2017 and I am having to write this opinion piece, but it seems that it is needed.  There will be no mincing of words here: the white supremacists, neo-Nazis, neofascists, and white nationalists who collectively marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12th, 2017, under the “Unite the Right” banner are […]

Police defend response; CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia on Sunday strongly defended the police response to the violent demonstrations here on Saturday, saying that law enforcement authorities had done “great work” in “a very delicate situation.” Mr. McAuliffe, in an impromptu sidewalk interview before addressing two church congregations on Sunday morning, said […]

There’s been a few videos circulating around the internet containing individuals, often with their families with them, attacked by armed personnel while in their vehicles. Such as the following video. I’m not sure as to why this has become a “trend” among criminals, but I could only think that they decide to attack the innocent […]

The physical fitness industry is one of the largest markets in the United States. Why? Most people want to improve themselves either aesthetically, physically, or some kind of combination of the two. Wading through the gimmicks, fads, and shortcuts can be difficult. Before you read any further I can tell you this – There is […]

Sig Sauer dominated the headlines earlier this year when it was announced that they had secured a contract with the U.S. Army to make their new modular pistol system, the P320, the standard issue service pistol branch wide.  Other contracts with law enforcement soon followed suit, and with good reason.  The pistol has received good […]

Here at SpecialOperations.com, we frequently get questions from our readers, many of whom are or will shortly be aspiring members of our Special Operations Forces (SOF). Since most of our articles deal with the training aspect of SOF, we always welcome them. We had a question and answer session this past weekend in one of […]

Lt. Taylor Miller is not the typical “Coastie” officer, a dig at the service, but one that she finds amusing. Her Texas accent sneaks out when she talks about something that excites her, case in point: Mexican food. California has a different variety than the Tex-Mex that she grew up with, but she’s still trying […]

As a former Special Forces soldier, I love reading books about the Special Operations Forces of not only the United States but other countries as well. But after devouring everything I could get my hands on about Special Forces during the Vietnam war especially those men from SOG some of whom trained me when I […]

My interpretation is that you are a Gentleman first, but have the ability and willingness to crank the dial to Savage to defend yourself, your family and those around you. Do you have the ability?
