SOFREP’s 2012 Greatest Hits #3: The First Female Navy SEAL

Nobody likes change, just ask the military pilot ranks that saw the integration of females in combat aviation roles. However, change can be a good thing, especially when it comes to leveraging the opposite sex in Special Operations. I wrote this piece to perturb people into thinking about this issue. Welcome to the 21st Century […]

OPSEC in Medal of Honor: Warfighter?

So I wanted to follow up to the recent story of the seven members of SEAL Team 6 who were reprimanded for providing “consultation” to EA Games for their newest first person shooter game Medal of Honor: Warfighter. In lieu of the recent story and an awesome Black Friday deal that gets me Warfighter for […]

Lone Survivor casting updates and pictures!

Well we have all (most of us) been anticipating this movie release for quite some time. Quite a few pictures have been released from the set and I have to say that I’m very impressed at how the actors are playing the part. Eric Bana (played a Delta operator in Black Hawk Down), Emile Hirsch, […]

The Grey Area: Why SEALs, & Other SOF Guys Secretly Consult

Update: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the founders were former Public Affairs Officers. I have been in contact with MUSA management and they have informed me that none of their consultants were SEALs involved with the recent NSW Non Judicial Punishment (NJP). I had another source who claimed MUSA involvement but […]

BOOM! Note to Arthur: These are the last guys you want to fuck with. Brandon out. Visit Extreme SEAL […]

What Went Right In Benghazi, Libya: A Story Of American Heroism

I personally think that our government needs to start practicing straight talk. And this is across party lines, Americans deserve to hear truth, and not bull shit. You can protect programs, field operatives, and OPSEC while maintaining the truth. A simple, “the situation is complicated and we don’t have all the answers” will work. Try […]

Before There Were SEALs: Underwater Demolition Teams!

One of the things I love about the SOFREP community is that we get to archive historical content. There’s so much in the way of rich history that doesn’t get captured in the few (relatively speaking) books that do get written. This is especially true when it comes to wars like WWI, WWII, and Korea. […]

FOX News Throws OPSEC To The Wind

It’s easy to get riled up in the spin of things and FOX news is no stranger to this. There’s some good people at FOX but, I’m dissapointed that they started dropping unit designations and three letter acronyms like TMZ paparazzi. They threw OPSEC to the wind in favor of politics and I’m calling them on […]
