Customer Rating:      Summary: Love it or hate it Comment: SOF is not for everyone, it can come across as coarse, right wing and very conspiracy like. That being said I enjoy it, they have a good range of articles and they write and carry news from sources that most mainstream news won't. Which is a good thing, its just a shame that so very people read it, relatively speaking. It is certainly an acquired taste but one well worth the time and effort, if you are curious about it and reading these reviews you should go ahead and give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great mag - bad price Comment: My son is entering the Marines this summer and requested this magazine. He is 19 and loves the magazine, but DON'T BUY IT ON AMAZON -- TOO EXPENSIVE. Even the card insert in individually bought magazines is $5 less ($34.95 for 12 issues)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best for Real Info Comment: This Mag covers everything from our troops serving in combat and occupation missions to the best new equipment. SOF also gives you a rundown on different weapons and stories of guys who lived to tell their own personal war stories. The World SITREP column in the centerfold gives a look at global stability or lack thereof and you can read about terrorist arrests and threats you are not being told about through mainstream media. The contributing editors are in the places they are writing about and are not there on assignment for the Mag, but are there helping to better the cause, so that what you read is accurate and fresh. I have been reading SOF since I was in 6th grade in the early 80's and I can remember reading about Osama bin Laden well before most Americans ever even heard the word Taliban. Read it and be up to speed it's a great source of info.
BTW you will save a lot of money by using the subscription card in the Mag
Customer Rating:      Summary: The real deal, on the ground, in the action. Comment: I have subscribed to SOF as a means to stay informed on the WOT. As expected, SOF correspondents are in the action, participants, not only reporters. Much of the good being done in Iraq and Afghanistan never reaches the mainstream media, but SOF reports on it and tells the truth. I find the Terrorism Sitrep particularly helpful, and the reporting of the 'forgotten wars' all over the Third World as well as US supported counterinsurgency actions in South America are well reported.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The one and only Comment: This the best mag in the world because it has everything i need for my air cadets. It supplies anything
