ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Every book that I have ever enjoyed reading has included an acknowledgment of the debts owed by the
author to those who inspired, assisted, and supported him. I would be remiss if I failed to offer the same
gratitude.
First of all, my immeasurable gratitude to the Ranger and Special Forces NCO who raised me in their
image. They took a raw, naive, innocent, hillbilly kid from the sticks, and drove him to become a
Ieader, a mentor, a teacher, and when necessary an ass-kicker. They taught me to never compromise my
values, and always to put the mission and the men before my own interests. I sincerely hope that,
despite my failures in life, I have been mostly successful in living up to their exacting standards.
In addition to those who raised me up directly, I would like to extend my gratitude to several SOF
veteran NCO who have contributed greatly to the efforts with writing the blog, teaching classes, and
writing this book. Through their ongoing mentoring, assistance with teaching classes, and friendship, as
well as their willingness to act as the voice of reason in my head saying, "John, we're being guerrillas,
not gorillas! Think SF, not Ranger!" they have contributed mightily to whatever successes I have
enjoyed in passing on valuable, real-world information to readers and students.

' The Team Sergeant, aka Mr. FAG (Former Action Guy): A retired SF NCO who served with a
very special element within the Special Forces community, conducting real-world operations
behind the Iron Curtain while the rest of the world was asleep. While he has to deny those
operations, since the Army now acknowledges the existence of that particular unit, I can offer
credit and honor where it is due.
He has been a reader of the blog since the very beginning, and was in fact, the very first SOF
veteran to contact me and offer his moral and material support, helping me locate numerous
doctrinal references I was no longer able to get my grubby paws on. I'd give my left nut to be
able to spend a week in his personal library. Thanks, Boss!
' MSG Dan Morgan: A retired SF communications NCO, MSG Morgan has contributed to the
blog on numerous occasions, and finally started his own. In addition to that, after showing up at
a class, Dan was promptly drafted to help teach the class, after I discovered his subterfuge.
Thanks for all you've done, and continue to do brother!
' Senior Master Chief 'SCUBA Steve": A retired US Navy DEVGRU SEAL, who wanted to take
a rifle class, and also found himself drafted into an instructional role. When my dear wife
learned of his background, she wanted to know if she could call him *SCUBA Steve," in
reference to an Adam Sandler movie. While he didn't have any idea what the cinematic
reference was, even after I informed him of it, he had the good graces not to be offended. You're
a good man, Qenior Chief, even for a squid.
My thanks go out to all of those who have read the blog over the last several yearc. I am an obnoxious,
foul-mouthed, curmudgeonly bastard, but some of you have stuck with me through a lot of offensive
statements and insults. Thanks for putting up with me, and I hope you've gotten value from the
experiences.
To the students who have taken classes with me, I offer not only my gratitude for reading the blog and
standing up for what you believe is right, but also for displaying the will and stamina to survive the
classes. While they're not Ranger School or SFAS, as Dan Morgan pointed out once, my classes are
certainly a "gut check." From the teenagers who have attended with their parents, to the 70 year old,
soccer-playing grandpa from Oregon, you have all earned a standing invitation to a spot around my fire
anytime. Thank you all!
To the guys at Am-Tac Precision, I offer my thanks for your support, especially in helping me locate
difficult to find pieces of gear at times, and for being good hosts whenever I happen to pass through
town.
I want to express my special appreciation to some very dear friends we have been fortunate to meet,
directly and indirectly, through the blog and classes, as well as other places:
' To Brian H. and his lovely bride, thank you for your hospitality and friendship, and for being
I
The Reluctant Partisan John Mosby
there for us and TMO in the hour of our greatest trial. Brian, thanks for being my 54 as well. I
promise I'll quit requisitioning shit out of your gear room!
' To their son "Brando Commando," my thanks for being such a good kid, and diligent pupil.
You're a stud, buddy, keep it up...but if you ever have a negligent discharge in someone's
vehicle again, I'11 fucking break both your trigger fingers!
'
To Ttabs and his amazing family, thanks for your hospitality and generosity, for offering
sanctuary to people you didn't even know. We are eternally in your debt and gratitude. Also,
thanks for the flight, even if your stall did scare the shit out of me. Just because I'm an
experienced paratrooper and skydiver does not mean I am not afraid of heights! I warned you,
and you're lucky I didn't shit myself in your airplane!
My gratitude to the Founding Fathers and Mothers of our Republic, famous and not. They offered us a
vision of Liberty, Justice, and reasonable, Iimited governance to provide for, and protect the life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness of all people, that the world had never imagined before. It's our dury to
retake that vision.
Finally, my eternal love, devotion, and gratitude to my wife and children. They have put up with my
physical, mental, and spiritual absences as I've written the blog and this book, as weli as when I've ieft
to teach classes around the Republic. They've patiently endured long fuives through the night as we've
traveled together, and kept the home fires burning when I've traveled alone. My family is my religion,
and they are my reason for living. I love you.

It really does seem to be "the end of the world as we know it," for better or for worse. people in these
United States of America are finally beginning to wake to the abuses heaped upon them by the power

brokers of the world. From internationalist, "one world government" organizations like the Council on
Foreign Relations and Bilderberg Group, to the misconduct of the Federal Reserve, and more, there is a
growing-ever more vocal and visible-dissatisfaction with the over reaching grasp of an
unconstitutionally power-hungry federal government, following the apparent dictates of well-moneyed
special interest groups. While I am not-by any stretch of the imagination-a tin-foil hat wearing
conspiracy theorist, I would argue that when even reasonably prosperous, white-collar Americans are
beginning to complain loudly about these issues, perhaps even the most level-headed amongst us
should begin to wonder if maybe those folks aren't quite so crazy after all.
With quiet forbearance, we have long borne a string of abuses from a federal executive branch-
through various administrations of both parties-and its unelected bureaucracy, that insists on
bypassing the checks and balances of our republican form of government in order to initiate ridiculous,
often pointless-and always grossly unlawful-regulations and executive orders that continue to
abrogate our natural human rights.
Meanwhile, we suffer ignominiously under the "representation" of a legislative branch that is
apparently unwilling to honestly and faithfully represent the interests and supposedly constitutionally-
protected natural human rights of all human beings. Instead, they seem to prefer to sell their souls-and
our labor and heritage-to blissfully follow the bribery-financed orders of those same well-funded
special interest groups, while delegating their constitutional legislative duty and authority to the
executive branch with little or no genuine oversight.
We've struggled with a justice system comprised of activist judges more concerned with advancing the
partisan political goals of special interest groups than in faithfully interpreting the legitimacy of current
Iegislation and regulation through the filter of the simple, plain English language of the Constitution of
the United States of America.
We've labored through decades of economic catastrophe that-despite current claims of recovery-has
most recently left hundreds of thousands of hard-working, flag-waving, patriotic Americans
unemployed, destitute, and homeless. The continuing increases in direct and indirect taxation of the
actual productive elements of the American economy mean that many of us who actually pay taxes end
up paying well over 50% of our gross income to the government in one way or another. The collapsing
purchasing power of the fundamentally valueless dollar, resulting in skyrocketing costs for
fundamentally necessary fuels and foodstuffs means that our remaining income seldom stretches far
enough to ensure a higher standard of living for our children. Combined with incessant government
spending in the form of handouts to hostile foreign regimes and multinational mega-corporations, as
well as the useless socialist leeches of our own society, these financial sins pile one atop the other,
preventing any positive changes in the status quo.
These types of unlawful, immoral actions by the federal regime have led to a growing
disenfranchisement with the government, as people have begun to distrust its interest in protecting the
lives, Iiberty, and pursuit of happiness of individual Americans. There are hundreds of thousands-
perhaps millions-of normal, middle-class, "soccer mom" Americans who are beginning to recognize
that the current socioeconomic policies of the federal leviathan cannot be sustained. What's worse,
there seems to be a plan that is inevitably leading to a climax of catastrophe for our nation and our
