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.
WHO DARES WINS.
Corinthians 13:4-8
Never forget, Never quit.
They possessed neither a standing army nor the certainty of victory, relying instead on mutual TRUST and faith in Providence. Based on this foundation, they established what would become the freest nation in history. This TRUST was tested and reaffirmed in 1812, during the Civil War, and throughout two World Wars, each marked by sacrifice and hard-won victory. We must acknowledge that the TRUST the people once placed in their government has diminished. The Republic established by our predecessors was never intended to function without active stewardship. This responsibility is enTRUSTed to each generation, requiring us to defend and renew it continually. As we celebrate tomorrow, we should remember the cost of that original commitment.
General George Washington’s leadership philosophy centered on integrity, self-discipline, and leading by example.
He believed that true authority stems from moral character rather than just a title and he believed the actions of a man and not what position he held mattered above all else.
250 YEARS
AMERICA STRONG
Two hundred and fifty years ago, fifty-six men gathered in a stifling Philadelphia room, risking everything as they signed a document that could have sealed their fate. With no promise of victory and the gallows looming if they failed, they pressed their names to history anyway. This Independence Day marks two hundred and fifty years since that gamble paid off.
I reflected on the sacrifices those men made to create this Republic, and on what will be required of us to ensure it endures for another two hundred and fifty years.
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.
