John Kerry thinks the media ought to tone down it’s coverage of terrorist attacks. He thinks it’d be better if we “didn’t know what was going on.” Yikes.

Edwards is the latest in a line of Navy SEALs to serve as White House Fellows. Bill Gallagher was chosen for the 2010-11 class, and this author assumes he is the same Bill Gallagher who graduated with BUD/S Class 228, which was featured in Dick Couch’s book, “The Warrior Elite: The Forging of Class 228.” That Bill Gallagher was the class leader of Class 228 and a stand-up guy from this author’s recollection.

When a question comes up that you aren’t sure about, a much better approach to answering that question on your own might be to say something like: “you know, I’ve never bombed the hell out of somebody, but I’m gonna sit down tonight with x-number of current and former generals, colonels, and SOF team leaders, and formulate a plan.

In the last few weeks the two presidential nominees have received their initial intelligence briefings. Although the experience must have been different for each — it was Donald Trump’s first, whereas Hillary Clinton is an experienced intelligence consumer — they were both recipients of a product authorized by President Barack Obama, the intelligence community’s most […]

The FBI has uncovered 15,000 more of Clinton’s “missing” emails. Bad news is, apparently releasing them to the public before the election might not happen.

From my experiences in combat, as a traveler of the Middle East, basic tourist, and student at the University of Jordan, I believe that most Muslim parents would prefer to see their children become doctors, lawyers, astronauts, and fulfill their potential than mindless automatons with a disdain and hatred of life on this world.

The State Department said Monday it is reviewing nearly 15,000 previously undisclosed emails recovered as part of the FBI’s now-closed investigation into the handling of sensitive information that flowed through Hillary Clinton’s private home server. Lawyers for the department told U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg on Monday that they anticipate processing and releasing […]

I knew that they were being recalled during the deployment, but I didn’t know that prisoners were making them with homemade tools that resembled prison shanks and hatchets.

A lot of thoughts and ideas that are taken for granted in national security are lost and unknown to the greater public. A more informed public might mean a better-informed Congress and, in turn, fewer narrow-minded and short-sighted funding projects.

A few years ago, relatively early on in the war against ISIS, I was smuggled into Northern Syria along a PKK re-supply route.  Taking a small inflatable boat across the river which acted as the border between Syria and Iraq, my first stop in the Kurdish held areas of Syria (known as Rojava) was a […]

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine unleashed on Donald Trump’s past comments on military issues while campaigning here Tuesday in an area heavily populated with service members and their families. “Donald Trump says, ‘I’m gonna be great for the military,’” Kaine said during a rally. “Donald Trump repeatedly during the Republican debates and […]
