But one time-honored tradition was celebrating the 4th of July, our Independence Day, while deployed outside of the United States. For me, there are […]
Global poverty is a complex issue that has long plagued the world. There exists no interchangeable template to fix poverty throughout the world. Strategies that work in the U.S. will not necessarily work in places like Africa or the Middle East. One could argue that the principles to combat poverty are more or less the […]

I was originally sent this power article by SOFREP reader Jerry “Ol’ Jer” Sullivan. I recognized its worth immediately coupled with the timing of both the D-Day anniversary and the ANTIFA-led riots that have derailed most peaceful demonstrations.

During the early to mid-1990s, Yugoslavia, a multiethnic state of Serbs, Croats, and Bosnian Muslims was disintegrating and bloody conflict breaking out. Bosnia-Herzegovina was the scene of some of the worst fighting, where nearly 100,000 people were killed, many of them victims of ethnic cleansing. The United States and NATO got involved in 1992, enforcing […]
As the civil unrest caused by the death of an African-American man by a police officer continues to rock the country, former Secretary of Defense James Mattis penned a missive against President Trump. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to […]
