Think Like a Green Beret: Think Big League
Against long odds, Nate Boyer had multiple NFL offers and chose the Seahawks, where he will be competing with veteran Clint Gresham for a roster spot. He has faced slim odds before. When he went to SF selection, 150 soldiers started; he and 10 others earned the coveted Green Beret. Green Berets think big and plan […]
Think Like a Green Beret: Be a Witch
On 19 September, 1994, U.S. forces were deployed to the Caribbean nation of Haiti to remove the illegitimate military junta installed by coup d’état and return President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power.

Six SKS Rifles and a Powerful Imagination
This is the best use of the SKS rifle that I have ever seen. It fires one round with each trigger manipulation, so it is not technically a machine gun.

Snake Hound Machine’s “The Loudener”: First impressions

Unapologetically named “The Loudener,” its designers have embraced the fact that, while it reduces recoil, both blast and noise are increased, though refocused and repurposed. Now, like the heroes in Spinal Tap, you too can turn it up to 11. Snake […]

Think Like a Green Beret: The CARVER Matrix
When you belong to the military of a wealthy nation state, there are many options to solve problems. Green Berets are taught to fight on the cheap, using what is available locally. This makes things a lot more interesting. There is a story I like to tell about a repair man that embodies the mindset and […]
