Enough political correctness! The trial of Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, one of the so-called “Haditha Marines” mentioned in the foreword of my book, Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier’s Fight For Military Justice, ended today when he agreed to plead guilty to one count of negligent dereliction of duty, according [...]

Passenger-Friendly Screening Technology Ready (Update)
December 1st, 2010 · 36 Comments
Full-body scans, pat-downs and other procedures wouldn’t be necessary at the nation’s airports if the federal government, including the Transportation Security Administration, would only turn to a safer, touch-free, passenger-friendly technology with nearly four decades of success behind it. Because of its timeliness in relation to current events, I share a slightly-modified version (below the [...]

Marine Recruiter Uses Unconventional Approach to Snag Future Army Special Forces Warrior
November 29th, 2010 · No Comments
A few days ago, I interviewed a recently-retired member of the Army’s Special Forces whose name I cannot share for security reasons. In order to develop a better understanding of who he was before he joined the military and spent more than 20 years in uniform, I asked him if he had always aspired to [...]

Congressman John Murtha Dead at 77
February 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) has died at the age of 77 after succumbing to an infection following gall bladder surgery a few weeks ago. Aside from the fact that he served his country as a Marine in Vietnam, I can’t say that I liked him much. Still, his passing is newsworthy. Congressman Murtha first found [...]

Two questions about President Barack Obama surfaced in my mind this morning as I came across news that the United States Marine Corps is introducing a new multimedia campaign entitled “The Line,” connecting the past to the present this Black History Month: 1. In a totally transparent world, would an 18-year-old Obama have been able [...]

CIA Deaths, Terrorism Could Have Been Prevented
January 11th, 2010 · 8 Comments
James Chapman was as distraught as any patriotic American about seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan being killed in an explosion set off by a double-agent Dec. 31. The 67-year-old Marine Corps veteran made it clear that he hated to see our nation’s security compromised the way it was Christmas Day when a 23-year-old Nigerian man, [...]
