[QUOTE=bourbon;62919]Remember Free Republic during the Clinton administration? All the Clinton body count stuff, and how he was running blow out of Mena airport when he was governor? Portions of...
Or, maybe I am....:eek: Give me a break, LT. I meant to check up on him but just never got around to it.
I would love a conspiracy corner. That was one of my favorite sections on Al Jazeera. They seem to have got rid of that when they went more mainstream with an English edition.
Back when I worked patrol, i picked up an elderly man who was refusing to go back to his retirement home because he thought they were trying to kill him. He was the stereotypical east coast Jewish...
[QUOTE=Ski;62829]Interesting thread and discussion.

We need as a country to do a better job of determining what is truly secret and what is just operational knowledge that should be passed on to the end user. While I understand the sources and...
We had a situation like that up here. Bangers had been hired as baggage handlers and were actually leaving their various tags inside of the airplanes.
Thanks for posting that!!! Highly motivating reading during these challenging times.
I am concerned about the Beslan style issue myself or hit and run attacks on malls. That would be really great for the economy at this point. Or look at what those 2 weirdos, the father and son...
I can only speak to local oriented Law Enforcement in the U.S. but I don't think anyone is ready for something like this other than possibly Israel but their society tolerates a level of security...
From what I have read the terrorists level of confidence and individual skill with their weapons was very good. They were obviously highly trained. They also must have have done a good leaders'...
If your going to put together a Task Force you need to have aggressive people who know the players to get things rolling and they need to have the backing to allow them them to be proactive. They...
Typical of us always wanting to fight with one hand tied behind our back. Trying to apply our system of 'justice" on our battlefields is doomed to failure. Another example of too many lawyers being...
Agreed. It was a rather ignorant article. But, then again how many people in our society understand the conventional Army, let alone the SOF community? The various pillars of our society are...
That reads like a cheap novel. Another example of truth being stranger than fiction....Thanks for posting that.
His book has been in limbo for awhile while some OPSEC issues were clarified. The author's homepage goes into more detail.
From the little I know it appears that a "risk averse" culture kicked in...

Thanks for the link. I can't believe there isn't more uproar against Bernanke who was recently on the record as saying there wasn't any problems with the system. It seems like these days the only...
Just finished the book, "THE BUSH WAR IN RHODESIA - The Extraordinary Combat Memoir of a Rhodesian Reconnaissance Specialist" which goes into Selous Scout TTPs and tracking.
That was an interesting movie. I really felt for the guy but saw a follow up on it and he is happy to be back in the mix with the 2nd Ranger Blt.
