The Truth About The Time Glen Doherty and I Met Mitt Romney

Managing editor Jack Murphy (former 75th Ranger and Green Beret) and I work very hard at keeping SOFREP apolitical for a reason. We feel that it helps maintain a balanced viewpoint and keep the site’s integrity with regards to representing the Special Operations community. This is very hard, trust me. I’ve had a ton of […]

I was a new guy on probation at SEAL Team 3 (it’s different now, you get your Trident after SEAL Qualification Training) and serving in a support role.  Need a boat driver for a platoon training dive? “Hey new guy, get over here..”.

Are Navy SEALs Becoming Political Pawns?

As November creeps closer the media frenzy surrounding the November Presidential elections will get ugly.

Navy SEALs Hunting El Chapo: Wired Magazine Gets it Wrong

SOFREP sources at US SOCOM say this is extremely unlikely.
