4. If you could be President for a day, what would you do about the current situation in Afghanistan?
Interesting question, and by no means am I any type of national leader but…
I would immediately have Afghan President Hamid Karzai—or wait until after the election and get the new jackass in office—on a private military jet and brought directly to the Oval Office, shut the door and have a face-to-face, man-to-man talk about what is “going to be done.”
In a country like Afghanistan, you can’t just wait for them to take charge and develop a strategy to protect our interests in the region, like the current administration is doing. I would look him right in the eyes, with all of the majesty of the Oval Office behind me and recap the sacrifice of life, money and equipment that we have provided up to this point in an effort to stabilize their country.
I would also remind him that we invaded, crushed and occupied their country after what was done to us on September 11th. Then I would slide him the “status of forces agreement’ across the desk and tell him to sign it—this is not an option, this is what happens when your country is conquered—the U.S. will maintain a fully operational air base within Afghanistan, Special Operations will be freely conducted throughout the country as we see fit, and our service members will never be subject to Afghan law or prosecution.
And what if he refuses?
Well, all of those things I just described are still going to happen, like I said, that is not an option. But if you don’t want to sign the SOFA, I am pulling every American penny, piece of equipment and resource to your government. You will slide back into chaos and darkness, and most likely everyone in your political party and government will eventually be killed by the Taliban.
Stare him in the eyes again, clip the pen and sign it.

5. What are you up to these days? Any more documentaries in the future, anything you want to share with the readers of SOFREP?
All of my spare time these days has been devoted to promoting the September 2nd release of Level Zero Heroes. After that, how knows? Hopefully someone options the movie rights so I will have something to do with myself.
But I will add, as a little side project I’ve been working on organizing a Level Zero Heroes themed airsoft/MILSIM project called 5th MSORB—Marine Special Operation Reenact Battalion. Through all of the work I have done with the Level Zero Heroes book, I have had huge support from this community of loyal enthusiasts.
But to be honest, I had no fucking idea what airsoft/MILSIM was. All I knew is that most military guys just gave them shit as posers or fakes. Sorry, but I haven’t seen this. All of the interactions that I’ve had with the community have been nothing but professional, polite and very grateful and courteous to me. So in return for all of the support they have shown me, I have created this project for them as a way to say thank you.
