The Truth About the Wars http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/11/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wars-in-iraq-and-afghanistan.html AS a senior commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, I lost 80 soldiers. Despite their sacrifices, and those of thousands more, all we have to show for it are two failed wars. This ...

On a related note I suggest everyone read "Why We Lost" by LTG Daniel Bolger.

Is stopping an Afghan male from raping an Afghan child worth sacrificing the lives of Military Members?

What if the Military Member was your child?

The agreement to pull-out was signed under Bush.

IME, it's the overall height of the pistol that is the primary factor in a pistol "printing" under a shirt. The type of shirt and color / pattern make a big difference too. In my experience the busier the pattern and lighter the color on a shirt the better job it does concealing the handg...

A handgun is generally a defensive weapon. A handgun is best used to fight your way to a rifle. Most folks should choose a handgun based upon how well it fits their hand first, then carrying comfort / concealibility and then shoot-ability and then caliber. Statistically speaking most folks can get b...

When we had my kid I tallied up my close calls between Iraq and Afghanistan and it was eight. I then sought employment elsewhere. Somewhere that didn't require travel to the badlands. I figured I had one life left of my nine and wanted to spend it with my wife and kid. At my going away party my part...

I watched the whole series and really enjoyed it.

If anyone is worked up about it I suggest they fly to Baghdad immediately and enlist in the Iraqi Army. Deeds not words. The Iraqi's chose weakness. They reap what they sow. We would be better off if U.S. Policy dictated unilateral punitive raids vice invasion, occupation, and giving "democracy...

I believe that the U.S. should leave no man behind.

I believe that if the man leaves himself behind then the U.S. obligation is void.

Mother's Day... My mother loves the holiday and should I forget about said holiday or not provide a gift of sufficient stature it is likely to generate a guilt trip that will last until next Mother's Day. My wife, the mother of my child, absolutely positively hates the holiday. Each year my wife say...

Phil Stevens and crew on a recent podcast joked about Delayed Onset Cotton Allergy and how crossfitters preempt this condition by taking their shirt off at the beginning of a WOD.

The North Korean's have taken "crazy" to new heights, and sometimes those heights have just a *tinge* of "awesome" in them... Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, was taken into custody earlier this year on the orders of Kim Jong-un, who assumed the leadership after the death of...

Interesting that the video did not note any actual sparring in the course. Maybe that was dropped as it would put perfect noses and hair at risk. Additionally, sparring risks validating the fact that it takes more than a weekend course to build proficiency. Hand to hand systems that cannot safely be...

Axl is my favorite defender of Danish giraffes.

In this capacity he has no equal.

In the military sometimes scandal is tied to "command climate" which I would describe as the environment fostered within a unit based upon actions taken by the Commanding Officer (or someone else in a leadership role). I would hypothesize that the climate fostered by the leadership contrib...
