Speaking of heists (see my last article about real life bank heists and upcoming films about former SOF operators here), I just came across an article about a doozy of a case involving the Italian mafia forty years ago. The crew made off with 5 million in cash as well as an additional 1 million […]
Netflix has dropped their trailer for the new Ben Affleck movie, Triple Frontier, a film that will explore what happens when former Special Forces soldiers utilize their skills to pull off a heist, in this case directed against a drug cartel in South America. The premise is interesting, and timely. 17 years of combat in […]

In retrospect, one of the big take-aways from the fight against ISIS is the need to keep up some kind of continuous engagement with indigenous forces, rather than just wash our hands and walk away from the situation.

On Tuesday, an RG33 MRAP vehicle was struck by an IED in Ghazi, Afghanistan. Eye witnesses reported that the blast was so large that the vehicle was thrown approximately fifty meters. An RG33 MRAP weighs somewhere between 28 to 33 tons, depending on the variant of the vehicle being driven. Killed in the blast were […]
Accusations and drama have surrounded the departure of long time Green Beret Foundation executive director Jennifer Paquette back in September — and since that time, the Foundation has filed a temporary restraining order (later withdrawn) and a lawsuit against her, along with their former finance officer, Melissa Pucino.

The U.S. Department of Defense is now formally pressing charges against the two Navy SEALs and two MARSOC Marines implicated in the strangulation of Green Beret Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar in Mali. These charges include felony murder, conspiracy, and providing false statements to investigators. The two SEAL Team Six operators being charged have been previously […]
The sixth season of Netflix’s political thriller House of Cards, is thankfully the last. In its final season, this once great show has devolved into absurdity, self-parody, and dare I say… unintentional misogyny. The show’s lead actor, Kevin Spacey, playing President Francis Underwood, had to be written off the show after allegations came to light […]
