The situation with Iran and its nuclear ambitions is rather tricky and there is not a concrete solution if we look at some of the possible scenarios. The first thing that I consider, and I think many of my military ring customers would agree with me is this; How reliable is the intel that we [...]
Do you remember the 5 Americans who were captured in Pakistan recently? One of them left a farewell video for his family as he didn’t expect to return home alive. They didn’t get an opportunity to commit any deeds before they were captured with incrimminating evidence on them. The five claim that they have been tortured at [...]
The sad fact is that despite all of the actions that our government has taken to protect us there are still ways that a determined, well equipped, and well supplied terrorist could get through and mount a successful attack. Our government has done a wonderful job of keeping al-Qaeda on the run and off balance since [...]

The Chinese government is bristling at the sale of arms to Taiwan but I say forget them and feed them fish. The Chinese have been building [...]
The Osprey has been used sparingly so far in Afghanistan but the Marine Corps has used them in the ongoing offensive on Marjah. I for one certainly hope that this new piece of technology will soon be utilized more than it currently is. It is too valuable to not be utilized. In the latest incident [...]
The term Final Protective Fire really means exactly what it says. It is used by combat arms units conducting defensive operations. This is a term that you do not want to hear during combat because if you do you are in some serious trouble. Normally you will fire the FPF when you are being overrun. [...]
