HENDRICKS is a former United States Army Captain who served as a tank platoon leader, and then as a military intelligence officer, where he was an advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of Interior's National Information and Intelligence Agency.

My Shepherd 3 Favorite Reads of 2023!

My favorite read in 2023… DAMASCUS STATION by David McCloskey After I finished reading this, I thought I was qualified to recruit and run sources for the CIA.
