Don’t be afraid, be competent (and constantly learn). On this Memorial Day weekend, I want to share a story of a brotherhood that exists, is important to me, and is under attack because of a “progressive” regime along with their forces in the far left media.
Standing up for the harder right in the face of relentless attacks is never easy but it is the right thing to do.
America, as well as our closest allies (and US and British Special Forces are the closest of allies) face unrelenting internal foes who seek to deceive the very people they’re suppose to inform.
As we Americans prepare to remember and honor those that we lost in battle fighting for our freedoms, let us also remember those friends and warriors that served and fought bravely alongside us, faithfully and with great distinction. Notably the British SAS in Iraq and Afghanistan (and elsewhere in the war against brutal and inhumane terrorists).
These men helped America defeat the Al Qaeda network in hostile frontiers but today suffer even greater hostile attacks by the British left wing media back home (a harsh media not unlike our own here in America, who care less about the lives and capabilities they destroy and more about destroying lives and our current way of life—yes, the times are a changing).
For instance, I recall a night raid in Iraq led by elements of the British SAS where Senior leaders of AQI were holed up with women and children in a home (their normal MO). The SAS raiding party took heavy losses and numerous casualties engaged in this vicious close in fight to capture these enemy leaders. There is much more SAS bravery to describe this battle, but the outcome was successful, the SAS men protected all those who were placed in harms way by the animals of AQI and the enemy was neutralized and senior leaders captured. A normal night for the men of the SAS (and other elite special forces fighting in IRAQ during those critical years of combat—2005-2007).
I know this story and many others that will forever remain untold all too well, I headed up the intelligence enterprise at the time. It was a brutal but necessary time to change the tide of a losing war (politicians decide, soldiers fight and die).
Anyway, if you want to learn more about how the tide changes for better or worse, PLEASE take time to read this relatively short but sharp article by a close friend and former battlefield (and SAS) commander, who I was honored to serve along side of.

Never forget, Never quit.
In a Capitol dominated by money, media, and powerful interests, a newly elected Midwestern Senator uncovers a conspiracy that reaches far beyond Washington. As he begins to connect the dots, he finds himself in a race against time, where exposing the truth could cost him everything. State of Deception is a story about power, conscience, courage, and the price of telling the truth. This film is being independently crowdfunded so its story can be told without relying on the traditional Hollywood system.

This is something out of the 15th or 16th Century, not the 21st century. Ukraine is a disaster and this must end. America must stop funding this stupid war. Fight for peace, there is a viable and ready to go peace deal—have to get Zelensky out of the equation. He is the problem and every one who is clear headed on this war knows it.

Today marks five years since the bombing at Abbey Gate, one of the entrances to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. On August 26, 2021, in the chaos of America's final withdrawal from Afghanistan, a suicide bomber affiliated with ISIS-K detonated explosives in the middle of a crowd desperate to escape the country. Thirteen U.S. service members were killed. So were more than 170 Afghan civilians, men, women and children who had spent days standing in sewage canals and crushing crowds for the smallest chance of a seat on a plane out.
It is easy, five years later, to let that day become a statistic, a line in a broader story about the end of a twenty year war. But at Abbey Gate there was...
If the leadership at Stars and Stripes stuck to the first rule of journalism (Tell the Truth), this would never have happened.
Thank you Sean Parnell for your outstanding leadership on this important issue. Stars and Stripes has a valuable role in reporting on and for our entire armed services and especially the uniformed services.
Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
