You awaken to the sound of your customized morning alarm. You grab your phone, peering inside the object in your palm — a window into a world of lights and motion. Icons decorate the top bar, hearts and like symbols display a connection to another person for less than a fraction of a second. An […]

There are several different schools of thought out there for CQB (close quarters battle) tactics. The one thing that will remain constant, provided technology doesn’t find a way around it, is the act of slicing the pie. This is a term used to round corners or objects that obstruct the shooters field of view while […]

The United States has spent years touting the Lockheed Martin sourced F-35 as the most advanced combat aircraft ever devised — which resulted in some ruffled feathers when Lockheed pitched an F-35/F-22 hybrid fighter it claimed would be superior to the incredibly expensive (and perpetually troubled) F-35 program. The thing is, despite being chock-full of […]

On July 17, 1983, Capt. William Howard Hughes Jr. called his mother and told her was he heading to the Netherlands. The Airman, who worked as a lead analyst with a Top Secret clearance, had been tasked with helping NATO test aircraft surveillance systems. The orders were short-term, with him scheduled to return on August […]

When I was living in the world’s more chaotic corners, my exact daily carry of items often varied widely depending on circumstances. Typically, it centered around some key aspects that were pretty consistent though. These central components could change too — things were often situation dependent when abroad. I generally base an everyday carry (EDC) […]

Human trafficking thrives within the borders of the United States, though it often goes unnoticed.

Every once in a while we see victims come forward and tell their […]

On June 6th I was banned from Facebook for 30 days because I shared a photo of American paratroopers with a captured Nazi flag. Five minutes after the post, I was automatically disconnected from Facebook. My first reaction was, “they can’t be that stupid”, but I attempted to log in again and discovered that Facebook’s […]

Written by DeliverFund Director of Operations U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.) Michael Fullilove There has been much press about the Navy SEALS and their successes defending our nation. Many of the same questions exist today as they did 20 years ago, when I joined. The overriding question that has persisted through time is: What qualities make […]

Human trafficking is alive and well in the United States. We don’t have the labor camps, child soldiers or prostitution rings that some countries do, but many of these things do exist within our borders and in certain places they even flourish. To think that we have moved beyond such things is a stark denial […]

Last September, a West Point cadet’s pictures of himself at his graduation ceremony flaunting his devotion to communism made national headlines and sparked fury from current and former soldiers. Spenser Rapone posted pictures on social media in which he was wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt under his uniform and wrote “communism will win” under his cap. This was […]

Religious Islamic leaders met in Afghanistan on Monday, issuing a “fatwa,” condemning the use of suicide attacks. This means that, under the Islamic law, suicide bombings are forbidden. The fatwa actually extended beyond suicide bombings to violent acts, considering them an offense toward Islam. They also plead for peace between the Taliban and the Afghan […]

When I was a kid, blessed with my ignorance of geopolitics and the looming rise of terrorism, I was aware of only a few legitimate threats to my safety and well-being. Rocky, I was aware, had already successfully defused the Cold War through the art of boxing, which left only looming concerns about clowns, quicksand […]
