I think that most Special Operations personnel are compensated fairly for their service with exception to their retirement. That’s a different story all together. The fact that an E-9 cook (no offense) behind the wire will get the same retirement as an E-9 Green Beret has always bothered me. Spec Ops special pays should calculate […]
Here’s a great look at the German KSK. If you’ve read my book The Red Circle, then you know that the SEALs did the first US/German joint Special Operations missions in Afghanistan post 9-11.

My friend Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, author of American Sniper, rightfully punched Jesse Ventura (Yes he was a UDT and considered a SEAL) in the mouth for being disrespectful to family of a fallen teammate. Everyone in our community knows Jesse got popped and is wondering when the hoax will end. All the SEALs I’ve […]
Well, Rowan Scarborough is out with an article about Delta Force in the Washington Times today. Stick with me here and we’ll walk through it piece by piece. “As Navy SEALs bask in the limelight for daring missions, some in the Army are wondering whether the other half of the nation’s counter-terrorism covert warriors – […]
The dramatic details of how the SAS completed a “brilliant” rescue of a British aid worker and three other female hostages in Afghanistan can be revealed.
