Civilians can never understand certain things simply because they’re not coded to certain language. “From all of us, to all of you, for having the guys to try” was a note attached to a case of alcohol provided by our British compatriots to the joint special operations task force after the failure to pull off a daring special operations mission to rescue American hostages taken by Iran’s revolutionary guard in April 1980. Then as now we left you smoldering the hulks of C-130s in the Iranian desert. The failure of Operation Eagle Claw was an international embarrassment for the United States military. But it also galvanized every branch towards sharpening the tip of its spear. Because it’s not simply enough to have the guts to try. You must have the tenacity to succeed. America’s enemies will count coup whenever they draw blood. This is a mistake for them. Every American failure in war simply informs how better to execute the mission. For every successful special operation that people hear about being executed, assume 10 other ones were successfully executed and part of the measure of success is that you never heard of it. When you fuck with the best, you die with the rest.

Gives you chills. Bad ass leadership and military power. Proud to be an American is an understatement!

Before you met Ryan Curtis you’d have heard about his dad, Mike “Mad Dog” Curtis, four time NFL pro bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Colts. He’s infamous for the time a rowdy fan disrupted a game, running across the field, and Mad Dog levels him with a forearm shiver. It is worth the google. I played with Ryan’s older brother Clay at Duke. One time I was at their house in DC and I walked into the basement and Mad Dog was sprawled on the sofa watching Braveheart. He was a big, stoic intimidating guy. I was kind of nervously like “Cool. Braveheart. Great movie, you seen it before?” He slowly turned toward me, barely looks up and goes “about a hundred times.” Athletically both Ryan and Clay were on a different level. Size combined with insane strength and speed. Ryan Curtis vs Ryan Powell was the national match up everyone focused on for a couple years. A two-time First Team All-American and 1999 NCAA Defenseman of the Year at Virginia, he helped lead the Cavaliers to a national title before becoming a five-time MLL All-Star. Curtis earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2003, was a three-time Cannons MVP, and captained Boston for three seasons.

From the shores of Lake Michigan, welcome to Lacrosse Day in Chicago 🌊🥍

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

Notre Dame men’s lax now 6-1 in its last seven games vs #1 opponents. Today Irish led 8-0 after one period on way to win over unbeaten and #1 Richmond.
