June 22, 2017 by Jack Murphy

The Canadian snipers had carefully chosen their hide site.  From an elevated position, the Special Operations sniper looked through his scope at a stationary human target leaning against a cement wall over two miles away.  The four-man sniper team had been pushing their shots out further and further into Mosul over the course of several […]

June 20, 2017 by Jack Murphy

I sat across from a Light Reaction Regiment operator at a restaurant where we tried in vain to escape some of the humidity.  He’s smoking a cigarette while we discuss his unit and their operations.  He is a quiet man, quick to tell me that his job is to execute the mission rather than complain […]
