Americans Abroad: Beyond the Gray City

The din of the hundreds of voices surrounding us grew increasingly louder as the crowd around us grew thicker. “You,” the gray-suited man flatly hissed in perfect English through a cloud of cigarette smoke, glancing at me before warily eyeing my companion from head to toe. “Where are you from?” He was met with silence […]

Q&A with Former Pineland Strongman (Satire)

Warning: satire ahead. In a stunning development, SOFREP’s own Jeff Danovich landed an exclusive interview with former Republic of Pineland strongman Jose Cuervo. Since the United-States-led invasion resulted in the overthrow of Cuervo, the former Pineland leader has since become a recluse. He has refused dozens of requests for interviews. Here is Jeff’s story. Upon arriving on the […]

The Devil You Don’t Know Chapter 4

“Think we can go around?” We were parked on a dusty turnout. An abandoned red and white building, hacienda-style, sat tangled in weeds next to a pair of large, graffiti-scrawled, corrugated metal warehouses.

Efforts to find a viable partner force to help America combat first the Assad regime, and later ISIS, have been underway for several years now.

The Devil You Don’t Know Chapter 1

“We’ve picked up a tail,” Larry announced. I didn’t have a good shot at the rear-view mirror from the passenger side, so I twisted around in my seat to get a look behind us. Unfortunately, from the middle of the pack of SUVs and box trucks, it was hard to see much behind us on […]
