The media circuit has been going crazy following yesterday’s accusation by the Afghan government that United States special operations forces (reported as “Special Forces” by media outlets) have gone rogue in Afghanistan’s Wardak province and are torturing and murdering innocent civilians. The accusation was immediately followed by a presidential order from Hamid Karzai himself demanding […]
As much as the pain in his crippled body, the constant barrage of criticism at America’s involvement in Vietnam swelled the anger within his soul. On a daily basis he watched as the nightly news showed film of the American flag being burned, while he thought of those brave men he knew that were heading […]
I wanted to share this exclusive article (if you’re not reading it already) published by Fox News’ own Jennifer Griffin not more than an hour ago (current time of 1248EST/26OCT12). EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say This is a very interesting and in depth breakdown of what exactly […]
I first wrote about the status of HALO (or MFF) being integrated into the Special Forces Qualification Course in Part II of this series. Now it looks like we are that much closer.

If you read much fiction about Vietnam, or even watch movies about it, chances are you’ll frequently bump into a character who has become a stereotype of the subgenre.

The conflict in the Middle East is winding down, US forces are withdrawing, and wars are being handed over to various proxy forces to fight in the context of the so-called Arab Spring from Egypt, to Libya, to Syria. Once Syria falls, more than likely after the US Presidential elections are complete, the Arab Spring […]
This was brought to my attention from several folks in the SOFREP network. POW network’s Wall of Shame recipient John Giduck is apparently trying to sue his way to credibility. Most sites will back away from a bully like this for fear of litigation. Bring your weak game John and watch good people everywhere and […]

INSIDE DELTA FORCE has been on my list for a while and I finally was able to take it down in two days. From the beginning, you can tell Eric Haney (Command Sergeant Major, USA ret.) is authentic and cares deeply about the US Army and Delta. My favorite part of the book is the recounting of his […]
