An Important Letter on Army Policy from a Gold Star Mother
A Gold Star Mother is one who lost a child in service of the United States. Ms. Keyko Clark-Davis is a recent Gold Star Mother. I was present when her son Chazray was mortally wounded. We have communicated many times. Chazray’s mother is strong and inspirational. She sends this letter in [...]
British Officer Slams US Army on Growing MEDEVAC Debacle
While reading traffic in a closed forum between current and former military officers, I stumbled across this message from a British officer. I’ve known him since the Iraq days, and he’s also served in Afghanistan. He’s an honest and very smart officer, and so I pay close attention to him. With [...]

Today I am in Laos, a small country thick with jungles in Southeast Asia. Laos used to [...]
Marked for Destruction: MEDEVAC Choppers Display Giant, Red Cross-Shape Targets for Insurgents
Camouflage is a combat imperative. Instruction in the use of camouflage begins in basic training. The Red Cross on the bright white background is meant to break up camouflage and to be seen.
While there might seem little chance in hiding a roaring helicopter, the contrasting colors and sharp shapes of the Red Cross create a [...]
Question for Congressman Pompeo: Should MEDEVAC Helicopters Go Into Hot Landing Zones Unarmed?
Forward Operating Base Pasab is in the upper left corner of this image. It’s the little rectangle looking area bristling with machineguns. Well, you can’t see the machineguns in this picture, but they are there. One time I walked by a guard post and didn’t see anyone in it. I walked up to see if [...]
Night Walk With 4-4 Cav: The Importance Of Night Vision Eyewear
It’s amazing how many lights can be seen on a dark night. Especially if you are with the US military. Different-colored lights are useful for differing purposes. The color you use can depend on your job. For medics, blue light is good for blood. It’s also good for tracking blood trails. [...]
