In 1991, one of the world’s most prolific drug traffickers fled Colombia to Bolivia where he went into hiding. A team of Bolivian Leopardos with American advisors from the DEA and Navy SEALs raided the ranch house at the CIA’s request. After making entry, they found cups of coffee on the table that were still warm. The […]
Has anyone else picked up on how every movie portrayal of Special Operations personnel that they always got our guys wearing a kafiya? You know those local neck scarves that they sell in the souk but people don’t actually wear that often in the Middle East? The look has become so ubiquitous that I’ve even seen […]
After months of planning and deliberations, the 75th Ranger Regiment has been deployed to Syria to participate in the war against ISIS as the coalition closes in on the so-called caliphate’s capital city of Raqqa.

Words to live by, […]
When most of us think about anarchists we imagine teenagers wearing scarves over their faces who run around outside economic summits and tip over cars and trash cans. While this is obnoxious, we don’t place them in the same threat category as a group like Al Qaeda that has demonstrated an ability to plan and […]
Read Part One HERE and Part Two HERE. As the Cold War matured, the mission of Det A evolved, shifting gears to face a new threat that the Western World was unprepared for.

Chainsaw doesn’t consider himself to be a tall man, though he is just fine with his height. I have never considered him to be a short man, that’s just the way it is. Let’s just say that Chainsaw is no Liam Neeson, but he is a Tom Cruise. Perhaps not quite as good looking, but […]
With dramatis personae that include the CIA, Delta Force, DEVGRU, the Intelligence Support Activity, Pakistani Commandos, the Taliban, and spies from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), this story has the makings of a future Brad Thor bestseller. The only difference is, this story happened over the course of an eight-month period for a very small […]
I am somewhat infamous for my negative reviews of movies about special operations forces. I’m not one of those guys who watches these films expecting some high degree of hyper-technical accuracy.
