History

Would you bring medieval weapons in a modern war? Mad Jack just proved that sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of madness to survive.

Vice President Kamala Harris invokes the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the September 11th Attacks to elevate the “Insurrection” at the Capitol on January 6th to a level it does not deserve by any fair comparison.

Some stories during the war were not big enough for everyone to know but were remarkable enough to be told. James Ward’s was one of them.

These are some of the men who made history through their amazing long sniper shots that took down the enemies.

In this final part of the Dick Marcinko interviews, Dick makes the prediction that terrorists will hit the United States with a Dirty-Bomb as the tactics of the terrorists shift from mass casualty attacks to economic warfare against our power grid, water supply and ports.

Dick Marcinko talks about their operations against Air Force One security when they put a 500lb bomb close to the aircraft. When it was discovered EOD failed to account for it being boobytrapped. Dick also has a lot to say about the misuse of SEAL Teams as door kickers and the detrimental effect it will have on their core skills in waterborne operations.

James Puckle once thought out of the box and decided to design a gun with square bullets, but was it successful?

Warriors from different cultures have their own rituals to prepare themselves just before the war. Here are three of them:

In part seven of the Dick Marcinko interviews, Dick tells us about the formation of Red Cell, a command set up to test the defensive capabilities of military and government installations against terrorist attacks. Rather than employ the expertise and gear available to a SEAL Team in testing these facilities, Marcinkos team operated with nothing more on hand that a good “Second Story Man” would have at his disposal.

In part six lf the Dick Marcinko interviews, we learn that training SEALs to fly airplanes was a big problem for the Navy brass. And speaking of brass, SEAL Team Six had a bigger budget for ammunition than the entire Marine Corps.

In part 5 of the Dick Marcinko interviews we learn about the formation of Team Six, their unique system of organizing their weapons and gear and even the whipsaw effect of enforcing grooming standards and then relaxing them.

Today, dentures are made from a mix of resin and acrylic. However, there was a time when people preferred something more… natural.
