• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The Russians have a pretty interesting special forces group, Alpha Group

Dr. Steve Turley has a short YT video of the group LINK here. They are a counter-terrorism special forces group that was created in 1974. In the video, Turley describes an event where some Islamists terrorist-held some important Russian people hostage and after the hostage negotiations came to an impasse the group identified the terrorists' family members and retaliated against them. They retaliated against the terrorist family members by dismembering them on video. The terrorists relented and released the hostages.

But anyway what I find interesting about the Russian Alpha Group, not only do they have a counter-terrorism mission they have a Christian spiritual mission.
 
They are training War Priests too

Can we give them Hunter and see what happens.
 
I wish our special forces were that ruthless. How powerful that video of their family members being dismembered and murdered. That is the way to fight fire with fire. Brilliant tactic.
