"We are decimating ISIS in the Middle East. What''s happening is, they''ll go to parts of Africa, they''ll go to other places. When they get there, we meet them. It''s a dangerous business. It''s a tough war. We''re beating ISIS very badly." Donald J Trump, US President, October 2017The above is exactly what the author was warning about since 2014 when the first GMJ Book, Code Name VFO565 was published. The radicals are moving into Africa. Mossad is the kings in the Middle East, chasing them away. The South African Secret Service control sub-Saharan Africa. Within the above two spheres, you will find 80% of the radicals. The rest are hiding in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Wherever the War on Terror is being won the threat moves away and mostly into Africa - the new battleground. Don''t think for one moment that the fighting will be easy. Africa is like no other theatre in the world, nothing like what you have seen before and what the GMJ Books are about, how to operate successfully in Africa. But what do you do when that what you believe most in - the Qualitative Military Edge Doctrine - is known to be a myth?Description: This book is a painful read for those believing that victory is a certainty and that the good guys will always win. For decades the US and NATO depended on the "QME" or "Qualitative Military Edge Doctrine" to ensure victory. What the doctrine comes down to is that the Western Militaries have better technology and better training and because of this, they will have the edge against any numerically superior enemy, i.e. Russia, China. That is the myth that is repeated constantly in the mainstream media and everywhere else, seen as facts and based on this myth, miracles are expected. But there is no technical advantage anymore. The rest of the world overtook the US and NATO in many military (and important) spheres as described in this book. Wild and out of control spending on inflated military budgets are also held as the holy grail to victory: "We are outspending everyone else by a very large margin, several times, hence, we must win." This is nonsense in real life. What are you getting for the money handed out by the taxpayer? The Pentagon does not even know where the money goes to. The QME does not exist anymore and this book exposes it to be historically false. NATO, for instance, never had air superiority in Europe during the 1980s, never, and the lie is explained in detail. A sober look at what is really going on behind the fabrications of the US Merchants of Death. A book worth reading if interested in military history and expert contemporary political & military analyses available to few without high-security clearances. The statistics stated inside may be researched and should be researched by you. A book that will confirm what is whispered by concerned citizens. American Military Might - Debunked is the 35th book in the GMJ Series and not fiction.Review: "If you''ve ever wanted an honest, objective analysis by someone with the knowledge and interest to do it well, yet with no political agenda to promote then your ship has just come in. The writer is well versed in military matters with years of practical experience with "boots on the ground". A proud Afrikaner, he is none the less a true friend of the American Republic and provides information here you won''t get from the left or right-wing media, your congress critter, and certainly not the defense contractors raking in their billions of dollars while offering lucrative employment opportunities to former military/civilian leaders who have proved "helpful". Think of this as getting a third opinion from an imminently qualified physician who specializes in your area of need, but with nothing to gain or lose either way. What you read may be frightening, upsetting, even offensive. Most straight talk between close friends about a problem often is. But remember, no matter what other voices may say about this book the one thing they can''t say is "It isn''t true."

In Code Name Unbutton we expose an operation where Chinese Intelligence captured a US Navy drone ship. It is a new idea in warfare, having small unmanned vessels sailing around and acting as the eyes and ears of the manned navy by listening in with passive sonar to track submarines. Nuclear attack boats are not defensive weapons hanging around your own coasts. No, like aircraft carriers, they take the war to foreign shores, not for self-defence but to strike with first. The US Navy's ability to hunt submarines is outdated. An older Russian Akula class nuclear attack boat spent a month inside the Gulf of Mexico in 2012. She was fully armed and able to shoot her long-range cruise missiles at almost any target inside the US with almost no warning. She would have hit what she aimed at as there are no known active anti-missile defensive systems operating on US soil. The US Navy is called upon to keep such boats away from the mainland and they failed miserably. This is disturbing to anyone with sympathy to America. That was a clear message that America is vulnerable to conventional attack. In other words, the US Navy cannot fulfil its primary task anymore because they are abused into nation building crap and yet, the conventional threat is much higher than any terrorism one. With the growing Russian and Chinese submarine fleets and powerful surface warships, you have a problem here and not only one of a lack of ships but of innovation. The Qualitative Military Edge, QME, or technological advance does not exist anymore, the rest of the world caught up - see American Military Might - Debunked. Then came the "solution" which is touted today to the world, drone ships. But they are built with Chinese circuit boards. In 2011, a US Senate investigation found that almost 1,000,000 counterfeit (fake) parts were sold to the US Military. No less than 70% of these came from China. Unscrupulous business? You decide and keep in mind the "altered" computer parts sold by the US to China and vice versa to listen in on each other, the classic Trojan Horse scenarios we know is happening. You must wonder if the Chinese can somehow, remotely, sabotage the above systems. Theoretically, between the Indian software engineers I also warn about, and the counterfeit / altered circuit boards and chips, the Chinese do not need to capture a US drone ship, they know already. And so we were surprised when they bothered to do so, an unnecessary operation unless they wanted to prove that they could do so, and the story inside this book. We also look hard at how such drones will be defeated in the future, the entire concept is nonsense in my view but that is for you to decide after reading this book.Description: Spymaster extraordinaire, Angelique Dawson, is with her team in the Mozambican Channel. She is leading a combined operation with two Chinese intelligence operatives to capture a US drone vessel and download its databanks as well uploading their own software embedded on the vessel's circuit boards. To do so she is flying in from a covert commercial vessel, the MV Triggerfish, using powered paragliders, invisible to radar and at night. She is as usual not explaining much to her future husband and former Police Special Forces Company Commander, Geoffrey Foxtrot, the narrator, trying to keep her safe. The presence of a US 688 Los Angeles attack boat to keep an eye on the surface drone is problematic. The presence of two South African naval frigates, a Chinese Type 052D Kunming class Aegis destroyer and uncertainty of the desirability of the mission makes it downright hazardous. It is expected that the Los Angeles attack boat will intervene if aware of the raid... If you wish to read about Covert and Special Forces Operations in sub-Saharan Africa, the GMJ Books are the place to start. You will learn about covert operations, Special Forces techniques and military history not known outside the select few. Code Name Unbutton is the 43rd book of the GMJ Series.

The events in this book are time wise after Code Name Cadillac. Angelique Dawson invites Foxtrot to accompany her on a flying holiday but all is not as it seems. Peace is not Angelique Dawson's occupation and they soon are involved setting up a dogfight between Spanish F-18 Super Hornets and the South African Air Force SAAB JAS39 Gripen fighter jets to test the new V3E Agile Darter short range air-to-air missile. But on whose behalf is she acting and what else is she up to? As can be expected we have nonstop action, twists and turns in the plot which took place in 2009 at the Overberg Missile Testing Range in the Southern Cape. This is Book 15 of the popular GMJ Series.

No GMJ Book is just written; the topic is carefully chosen to enlighten the reader to current dangers. In this book we take a hard look at the way secret agents combine with conventional forces, in this case self-propelled artillery, and cause mayhem. It is something which happens more often that what is believed, it is not always the cloak and dagger, it may well be heavy shells and rockets raining down. Angelique Dawson and her team are setting a trap for Zimbabwean forces chasing a South African Army Special Forces Team towards Mozambique. As is expected, she is up to other things also, not telling the narrator, her later husband and soul, Major Geoffrey Foxtrot. Code Name Anika follows closely on Code Name Halloween 38, GMJ 26. If you wish to read about Covert and Special Forces Operations in Sub Saharan Africa, the GMJ Books are the place to start. You will learn about covert operations, Special Forces techniques and military history not known outside the select few. Code Name Anika is the 27th book of the popular GMJ Series.

Numerous polls show that Americans want to reduce our military presence abroad, allowing our allies and other nations to assume greater responsibility both for their own defense and for enforcing security in their respective regions. In The Power Problem, Christopher A. Preble explores the aims, costs, and limitations of the use of this nation's military power; throughout, he makes the case that the majority of Americans are right, and the foreign policy experts who disdain the public's perspective are wrong. Preble is a keen and skeptical observer of recent U.S. foreign policy experiences, which have been marked by the promiscuous use of armed intervention. He documents how the possession of vast military strength runs contrary to the original intent of the Founders, and has, as they feared, shifted the balance of power away from individual citizens and toward the central government, and from the legislative and judicial branches of government to the executive. In Preble's estimate, if policymakers in Washington have at their disposal immense military might, they will constantly be tempted to overreach, and to redefine ever more broadly the "national interest." Preble holds that the core national interest—preserving American security—is easily defined and largely immutable. Possessing vast military power in order to further other objectives is, he asserts, illicit and to be resisted. Preble views military power as purely instrumental: if it advances U.S. security, then it is fulfilling its essential role. If it does not—if it undermines our security, imposes unnecessary costs, and forces all Americans to incur additional risks—then our military power is a problem, one that only we can solve. As it stands today, Washington's eagerness to maintain and use an enormous and expensive military is corrosive to contemporary American democracy.

A searing indictment of US strategy in Afghanistan from a distinguished military leader and West Point military historian—“A remarkable book” (National Review). In 2008, Col. Gian Gentile exposed a growing rift among military intellectuals with an article titled “Misreading the Surge Threatens U.S. Army’s Conventional Capabilities,” that appeared in World Politics Review. While the years of US strategy in Afghanistan had been dominated by the doctrine of counterinsurgency (COIN), Gentile and a small group of dissident officers and defense analysts began to question the necessity and efficacy of COIN—essentially armed nation-building—in achieving the United States’ limited core policy objective in Afghanistan: the destruction of Al Qaeda. Drawing both on the author’s experiences as a combat battalion commander in the Iraq War and his research into the application of counterinsurgency in a variety of historical contexts, Wrong Turn is a brilliant summation of Gentile’s views of the failures of COIN, as well as a trenchant reevaluation of US operations in Afghanistan. “Gentile is convinced that Obama’s ‘surge’ in Afghanistan can’t work. . . . And, if Afghanistan doesn’t turn around soon, the Democrats . . . who have come to embrace the Petraeus-Nagl view of modern warfare . . . may find themselves wondering whether it’s time to go back to the drawing board.” —The New Republic

A frustrating war and an endless occupation. The very real prospect of more conflict overseas. A military stretched beyond its breaking point. The stage is set for the resumption of the draft. Now, in an explosive and provocative book, Philip Gold, a former Marine and a disaffected conservative, reveals why selective service should never come to pass–but might. In The Coming Draft, Gold charts the path that brought us to this treacherous point and posits an “exit strategy” for America to change its course. In candid language and through authoritative research, he uncovers the flaws of forced enlistment from ancient to recent times and suggests serious and more effective methods to protect the homeland. “Plans/reality mismatch” is how Gold describes the Bush administration’s handling of the Iraq war. This conflict’s deadly, years-long duration–with overtaxed volunteer troops–has led to the Marines missing their monthly recruitment quotas by up to 25 percent, soldiers over sixty being called out of retirement to serve, and in some cases National Guard tours being extended to 2031. Though the House of Representatives made a show of voting against the draft idea in 2004, Gold believes that a collusion of neoconservatives and liberals could eventually cause conscription to be reinstated. The neocon argument for the return of universal conscription rests in the expectation that American military presence will need to increase in order to combat the spreading threat of terrorism, while the left wing hopes that the revival of the draft will expand the scope of the debate about U.S. military policy, thereby making American involvement in wars an issue that potentially touches every household. Asserting that selective service has been neither effective nor historically validated, The Coming Draft provides evidence that the Founding Fathers’ concept of common defense differed from our own and allowed for “proper refusal” in addition to service. More damning, Gold insists that starting with the Universal Militia Act of 1791, the draft has been rife with demoralizing corruption and bad faith, whether it was exceptions for civilian slave owners in the Civil War or loophole-laden systems from World War I to Vietnam. Gold’s practical and innovative alternatives include the redefinition of service (to include earthquake and weather-related relief work), and a drastic rethinking of the duties of the National Guard. All this, he believes, must begin with setting limits on any president’s ability to launch an undeclared war. Written with an acute awareness and fierce intelligence, The Coming Draft is an indispensable work for anyone who is, or who might have to be, a soldier–and any citizen concerned about the future of our country.

Was the U.S. military prevented from achieving victory in Vietnam by poor decisions made by civilian leaders, a hostile media, and the antiwar movement, or was it doomed to failure from the start? Twenty-five years after the last U.S. troops left Vietnam, the most divisive U.S. armed conflict since the War of 1812 remains an open wound not only because 58,000 Americans were killed and billions of dollars wasted, but also because it was an ignominious, unprecedented defeat. In this iconoclastic new study, Vietnam veteran and scholar Jeffrey Record looks past the consensual myths of responsibility to offer the most trenchant, balanced, and compelling analysis ever published of the causes for America's first defeat. Sure to spark widespread discussion and argument among veterans, academics, policy-makers, military professionals, and interested citizens, this landmark contribution breaks new ground by candidly examining the strategic failures of the military's leadership--long portrayed as innocent victims--and exploring whether a different policy could have avoided defeat. With a rare blend of relevant personal experience and impeccable scholarship, Record establishes four root causes for the U.S. defeat in a logical, easy-to-follow argument that explodes earlier professional assessments and popular appraisals. Vietnam-noble cause, international crime, or strategic mistake? Record's surprising and sometimes incendiary answers to these and other questions critical to the future success of the civilian-run military will ensure that the armed forces' accountability in Vietnam is no longer overlooked.

Darrell Ankarlo believes there is nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by informed citizens who get involved in their communities. While many people only lament the ways society seems to be rotting from within, he has used the platform of his radio show to rouse his listeners to make a difference where they live. In What Went Wrong with America...and How to Fix It, the author does more than rant about our nation's problems. Instead, he provides a practical road map for ordinary Americans to follow in making their voices heard. Here he equips readers to change the pattern of disengagement by using tools that are available to everyone to fight for meaningful action. He shows how to spread one's message through broadcast and print media and how to organize rallies and protests, even to the point of running for elected office. Here is how one radio talk-show host took on America's foremost rap group and won. He also was able to take on a popular governor who clandestinely tried to strong-arm a state income tax through the legislature, in contrast to his campaign promises. Recently he was able to organize a massive demonstration of support for the American military, sparking a statewide movement of pro-American, pro-troop rallies. Dubbed as Texas United, the concept swept the nation with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating in support of the nation and the troops who were defending it against an enemy who had been at war with us while we slept. What Went Wrong with America...and How to Fix It provides valuable help for anyone who wants to make a difference on the local, state, or national level. Reading his personal stories and anecdotes provides a new appreciation for our nation's heritage and for every American's personal responsibility to carry the torch and then pass it on to the next generation.

On April 30, 1975, Saigon and the government of South Vietnam fell to the communist regime of North Vietnam, ending—for American military forces—exactly twenty-five year of courageous but unavailing struggle. This is not the story of how America became embroiled in a conflict in a small country half-way around the globe, nor of why our armed forces remained there so long after the futility of our efforts became obvious to many. It is the story of what went wrong there militarily, and why. The author is a professional soldier who experienced the Vietnam war in the field and in the highest command echelons. General Palmer's insights into the key events and decisions that shaped American's military role in Vietnam are uncommonly perceptive. America's most serious error, he believes, was committing its armed forces to a war in which neither political nor military goals were ever fully articulated by our civilian leaders. Our armed forces, lacking clear objectives, failed to develop an appropriate strategy, instead relinquishing the offensive to Hanoi. Yet an achievable strategy could have been devised, Palmer believes. Moreover, our South Vietnamese allies could have been bolstered by appropriate aid but were instead overwhelmed by the massive American military presence. Compounding these errors were the flawed civilian and military chains of command. The result was defeat for America and disaster for South Vietnam. General Palmer presents here an insider's history of the war and an astute critique of America's military strengths and successes as well as its weaknesses and failures.
