Today is Patriot’s Day.  Take a moment to reflect on the battles at Lexington and Concord that marked the beginning of the American Revolution - at least the start of open, armed conflict.

In honor of the day, I had the opportunity to listen to a talk by Col. John Reitzell (Ret.) on the history of terrorism.  It was fascinating to hear first hand accounts from a man who was at the tip of the spear on many special ops missions - some of which you’ve probably heard of, including the Achille Lauro hijacking.  He has a commanding knowledge of military history and the role of Islam in many conflicts since its inception.  If the opportunity presents itself I would encourage you to listen to him.
