Just remember, that most of the stupidest people in the world, still exist on this app. True wisdom lies in realizing your own people, can do some stupid shit
@sofmagpublisher@SKatzKeating I need so time to process this.
His publications made a huge positive impact on the rest of the world. Even saved lives. I grew up on his magazines. They predicted the future with pin point accuracy. Gave voices to those left abandoned.
Rest easy sir. You will be missed. 😔
RIP to LTC Brown. There will never be another quite like him.
I've been a lifelong fan of SOF since I was introduced to the magazine in early 90s, and the multi-part series on Oklahoma City opened my eyes as a kid far more than probably anything else.
Steve Barry told me much about his time working with "Bob" / "Boulder Brown" just prior to writing the original SF Sniper Course POI. Definitely one of the more impactful conversations I've had across a dinner table with many glasses of Jameson. Some of that knowledge they refined I try in earnest to pass along in the Scout and Recce courses. Certain truths are timeless, lest we allow them to fade into obscurity.
LTC Brown was a Cowboy, an adventurer, and above all, an American original. He's already missed. And tonight I'll be toasting one in his memory.
Just heard the news that Lt Col Robert K Brown passed away. I had the pleasure of speaking to the Colonel on several occasions and the honor of him sending me some of his personal Soldier of Fortune Magazine paraphernalia.
"Vive la mort ! Vive la guerre ! Vive le sacré mercenaire !"
@WilsonC245 I’ve always been into photography actually! I lost interest when I started having to do product photography for my business though. This was taken with a Ricoh GR IV HDR!
My main work camera is a Sony A7c ii with a Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G lens.
