Tom Anthony and Dick Marcinko

I wanted to take a second to let you know how frightening- no terrorizing a man Dick Marcinko is. Last night he spoke at the Virginia Beach Forum. I was very fortunate to have the chance to chat with Dick back stage for a few minutes, and of course personally he is a great person to talk to. He is also a very smart man. The freighting thing about Dick is not who he is, although he is the last person in the world you want to have as an enemy. The freighting thing was how he described with firsthand knowledge the extreme shortcomings of our national security. I picked up his book Rogue Warrior on the way to the show last night. It is an excellent book. Here is the link to Dicks bio and here is the short version printed on the Virginia Beach Forum web site:

You may know him as Demo Dick, Shark Man of the Delta, the author of the New York Times best-selling autobiography Rogue Warrior, the creator and commander of SEAL Team SIX, the U.S. Navy’s first and only counter terrorism command, or as the host of talk radios America on Watch. However you know Dick Marcinko, you’re going to be intrigued, entertained and maybe even a little provoked by his blunt take on national security, terrorism and the adaptation of modern technology.
