By SOFREP | January 16, 2023 Entertainment, Featured, SOF, Special Operations

An Odd Question A while back, I was asked a somewhat unusual question on Quora, the quasi-social media question-and-answer site. It was, “Have any former crack addicts ever been on SEAL Team Six?” There was just one that I’m aware of, and his story is nothing short of amazing. When you hear this man’s story, More »

SOFREP Interview with Army Ranger, Vetrepreneur and Author Dan Blakeley

By SOFREP | September 1, 2022 Book review, Entertainment, News + Intel, Q&A, Special Operations

“Your past never forgets you.” – Dan Blakeley The first thing that struck me about Dan is that he’s incredibly easy to talk to. Some special operations guys have a reputation for being a little standoffish or having a larger-than-life ego, not Dan. Yet, he endured some of the most demanding military training there is to More »

US Special Forces in Colombia – Storming a Dunkin’ Donuts in Bogota

By SOFREP | December 13, 2021 Entertainment, South America

It was with great interest that I read Brandon Webb’s piece about his travel to Bogota, Colombia. Having spent time there during the heyday of the Medellin/Cali Cartel, I was really interested in how much the city has changed. Bogota is beautiful and huge. I had heard from other SF guys who were there recently More »
