Nothing in there that will get somebody killed for doing it. Most of it is a quality synopsis of small unit, light infantry, patrolling that would make a decent pamphlet for modern irregular forces. I found it interesting enough that I looked at the rest of his site and am reasonably impressed.

A side observation, not germane to the present discussion - one of his articles includes a comment from the proverbial peanut gallery "Amateurs argue equipment. Experts and professionals argue tactics.” IIRC the quote should be "amateurs argue tactics, professionals discuss logistics". On that vein, I think his blog would be more valuable to a wider audience if it were to give more space to a discussion of organizing and using the Underground and Auxiliary. Instructions for guerrillas (which appears to be his theme) is the easy part - and only 1/3 of the whole equation.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
