Someone called me out for ‘not finishing SEAL training’ (I was injured and discharged on a disability)..I am still proud to be able to say I was an Active duty Marine Corps Scout/Sniper and Recon Marine…BUDS didn’t work out as I was hurt but at least I got a Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) as a Marine…;)

I was asked to write a review of the movie American Sniper. The National Review asked for a ‘sniper’s’ perspective on the movie. I asked if I could write a larger piece on how snipers are maligned as ‘hate filled killers’ and ‘murderers’. I am excited that I was given the opportunity to tell a story that is not often told. I am grateful to the National Review for providing the opportunity to give insight into the dangerous job of being a sniper. The name o the article is “Smearing Snipers; What Many Americans Don’t Get About Our Warrior Elite” If you are so inclined, please consider donating to the R&S Foundation. We are a group of volunteer former Reconnaissance Marines and Scout Snipers who work to support our brothers in need. You can donate here. Thank you for anything you can give!…
