I think that the Syrian government made a pertinent observation when they commented that the USG cannot seal our own border with Mexico. On the other hand, they have been asked repeatedly to take specific action against this particular bad guy, they were told where he was, and what he was doing, and...

There is no other job in the military quite like being a medic in a Ranger Battalion. If that is your dream, (and it is a worthy one in my biased opinion), then wait. Aside from being a cool fucking job, it is an astounding foundation for later career progression. Twenty-eight years after I began my...

It seems that VA cops have a lot of experience with veterans telling them to fuck off. I was in the gym at the VA hospital in Dayton when the gym manager called them because I would not wait for a staff member to monitor me as I exercised. They rolled in like they were bad-asses, I looked at them an...

My buddy is a cop in SC, and he says that he has been doing nothing more than breaking up altercations at gas stations for the past week.

He says that the cost of fuel is at $4 a gallon, that food is rising in cost, and that people are increasingly on edge.

Why only 17 years in the Army? He did fuck up. Big time. My philosophy has always been, if you cannot do the time, do not do the crime. You get busted with coke, bad things tend to happen. Like you get sentenced to jail. Funny how that works. If the judge lets him off, and if the system rules in his...

Ever since I stood up as the last man on the right side of my bird going into Point Salines, and looked up onto the flight deck to see the pilot's hands shaking as he held the bird on course with tracers lofting past the windscreens, I have had nothing but respect for AF special ops pilots.

The first thing that the Canadians should do is grow a pair of balls.

Their troops are good, but their O's are extremely risk-averse.

If they are not going to fight, they should get the fuck out of the theatre.
