Top Notch


Kill or be Killed

For those that know, I am a big fan of SpecOps. Not because I was in the military -- which I was not -- but because I am a wannabe that wanted to go in but chose a life of crime instead (at the age of 18). After my crimes, I then broke my neck and fractured my back; the ARMY would not touch me with a ten-foot pole. My mom mentions that her one regret in life was when I came to her and wanted to join at 17 that she did not sign me in when I asked. Years of Dux Ninjitsu and reading on military history has merely turned into a memory. One book that I read at a young age was a book by Col. Charles Beckwith called Delta Force (U.S. counter terrorist unit). In that book is mentioned our close ties to SAS (Britain’s counter terrorist unit) and the long war against Muslim extremists even back in the infancy of these two groups. SAS and Delta I am sure have guys now operating on the ground that are acting as extremists in order to kill their leaders and cause a fear that will help in breaking up these organizations.


My prayers and thoughts go out to these operatives, not for the fact that they are killing horrible men, but because they are highly trained/honed operatives that I pray come back home safely and have a community of guys and family that will help them deprogram from such a tough job.

Their first major success came last weekend when sharpshooters shot and killed Mahir Ahmad Mahmud Judu al-Zubaydi near his hideout in Baghdad's Adhamiya suburb....
