Soldier of Fortune

March 1990

Soldier of Fortune, CO. 1990. A bit of wear on the spine, but an excellent copy nonetheless.

This is an interesting one, with articles on conflict at home and abroad. Pieces include:

"Karen Kill Zone" (This is not about psychopathic reactions to a bad Starbucks order; no this is about the Karen rebels in Burma."

"Recce In Hell" (Grueling account of the South African Recce Commando qualifier.)

"Drug War Firefight" (Intense piece about a retired army Ranger at war with a crack house in Tacoma."

"The Big Lie" (A twisty piece about Ortega vs. the Contras propaganda."

Emblematic of the paranoid "kill or be kill" attitude of the average SoF reader, an intense issue. Great photo of a South African Commando eating a rat on a stick as well.
