At 11:18am on October 12, 2000, a small boat pulled alongside the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Cole in Aden Harbor, Yemen. After waving to the sailors on deck, the crew of the smaller boat detonated an explosive shaped charge estimated at 200-300 kg, killing themselves and seventeen U.S. sailors onboard the USS Cole.  Costing close to two-billion dollars and designed in the 1980s to counter the Soviet threat, this symbol of U.S. military power and technological superiority was nearly sunk by a non-state actor for a relatively small investment of resources. The attack on the USS Cole was a victory for bin Laden and al-Qaeda, attracting funds and recruits to the cause. As with previous attacks on U.S. military assets and civilians abroad, the U.S. did not respond. Bin Laden had issued “fatwās” declaring war on America in 1996 and 1998 and had attacked the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The United States failed to realize it was already at war. That realization would come on a sunny Tuesday morning less than a year later on September 11, 2001. For more on the attack on the USS Cole, read FRONT BURNER by Commander Kirk S. Lippold, USN (Ret) @KirkLippold .

“We deal in lead, friend.”  I have always loved this line delivered by Steve McQueen in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN which hit screens on this day in 1960. I have fond memories of watching this film growing up. There are quite a few memorable lines but this one from McQueen always stood out. Over a decade after viewing THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN for the first time and a few years before I joined the military, I read Stephen Hunter’s POINT OF IMPACT. Hunter’s protagonist, Marine Corps Sniper Bob Lee Swagger, put McQueen’s famous line on calling cards in Vietnam. As a young sniper following 9/11, I printed similar cards for the snipers of my platoon. I still have a few tucked away with memories from my time in uniform. Might have to watch THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN tonight.
