Who Dares, Wins.

Meanwhile, look at the hot mess at the U.S. 5th Special Forces group at Fort Campbell—they’re responsible for Army SOF operations in the Middle East. “Lions led by a lamb.”

That “lamb,” BTW, is Colonel Kevin Leahy, son of none other than U.S. Senator Patrick “Leaky” Leahy of Vermont. Odds that Col Leahy gets fired. Approximately zero. Chances his name appears on the next promotion list to Brigadier General? Somewhere around 100%.

I axed him, “do you want to live?”

He mumbled something about “virgins,” so I axed him.

Bad.

Correction...Colonel Leahy is apparently not the son of Senator Leahy; original source had deleted that comment when I double-checked, but problems in 5th Group remain. That open letter is very damning, to say the least.

If the Colonel doesn’t have political ties, it’s curious as to why he hasn’t been relieved of command. And it’s doubtful he ever gets a star—and rightfully so.

Sad to see Hillary’s allies killed.

I keep a Fiskars hatchet hanging on a nail right next to my front door. It was not designed to be a weapon but would make a fine one anyway.

I've read more than a few times that the SAS are some pretty bad dudes!

I was friends with one in the North Sea. He was a diver after he left the SAS. He was a very polite gentleman and also educated. Their was absolutely no doubt in my mind he could break you in half if it was needed.

He was a good bloke.

The real issue is why did this soldier's rifle jam in the first place. Using the issued L85A2 jam-o-matic?

The SAS never liked the SA80. After the L1A1 SLR (FN FAL variant) was dropped they started using the M16A2 in its place.
