  • Who is the Better Man?

    Like most of you, I watched the author of “No Easy Day” on 60 Minutes. It was pretty obvious to me that they were going out of their way to soft pedal this interview because they think that bringing up Operation Neptune Spear is good for Obama (which...

  • Op-Ed in USA Today on SEAL author and other leakers

    I have a piece in USA Today about what repercussions the SEAL who wrote the bin Laden piece should face. This about sums it up. If the No Easy Day author revealed classified information, then he deserves the full penalty of the laws he broke. But if Pentagon...

  • Gear Geek Post 3: E&E Ruck

    A good E&E bag is essential, and when you do find a truly good one, it can be wonderful. The Tac Ruc E&E from MilitaryLuggage.com is a truly good bag. So much so that I'm considering making it my SAR bag since the things needed for an emergency...

  • U.K. Gallantry Awards Announced

    “When you say ‘he ran through enemy fire’ it makes it sound dramatic, but it’s not so much something that you do, but something that you have to do in order to make space for yourself and others around you. If you are running through enemy fire you are...

  • Gold Star Dads - Sometimes Forgotten

    As many in the Blackfive orbit know, September 30th was "Gold Star Mother's Day". And, like many of you, I saw this pic of a Gold Star Mom memorial and found it touching and poignant. When looking up where this memorial is (and I didn't...

  • Muslims Celebrated The Sep 11 Attacks

    The politically correct version of the September 11 attacks holds that the Muslim world rejected such violence as un-Islamic and condemned the attacks. This is not true. The Muslim world celebrated the attacks. I took a trip to Egypt a few years ago to...

  • Thoughts on 9/11

    Preparing to read names at a 9/11 Rememberance in Hampton, VA. This thought sprang to mind: Today is about bravery. Sacrifice. Loss. Valor. Uncommon Courage. Today is a number of people finding something about themselves they never knew or rediscovered...

  • 1979 Anyone?

    I have made no secret of the fact I am epically underwhelmed by what the current Occupant in Chief calls "leadership" and what his ignorant buffoons running Foggy Bottom and the Puzzle Palace call "diplomacy." So, after having scanned...

  • SSB Challenge

    There are many things one can say about the Star Spangled Banner. It is a stone b***h to play on the trumpet, at least it was when I was in high school, because of some of the jumps. It regularly leaves performers licking their wounds as it does test...

  • St. Jacquestobersfest 2012

    Michael St. Jacques is a brew meister of rare talent, and once a year he showcases this at an event call St. Jacquestoberfest. I attended the inaugural two years ago and for some reason was cynically excluded from the guest list for this year. That type...

  • Make A Call For An Investigation

    Rather than call our the pitchfork brigade, and risk Senor Lechero having vapors again, I'd like to ask you to contact corporate headquarters and ask them to look into something. This is making the rounds through Infantry channels and needs to be...

  • The Muslim Drinking Game

    "The Sphere" was sculpted by Fritiz Koenig to symbolize world peace through world trade. For thirty years, it sat in the plaza between the towers of the World Trade Center until that terrible day when Muslim jihadis knocked them down for Islam...

  • Noble Bar

    There is a lot to be said for eating fresh. There is a lot to be said for eating food that is processed as little as possible. I even support eating fresh local food for a lot of reasons, though I think the "localvore" movement (eating only...
