Our Story
Owner
Mack- Former 0311, best described by Chesty Puller’s famous quote: “Take me to the Brig. I want to see the real Marines”. Better yet, my prior CO describing me and my boys: “shitty garrison Marines but great field Marines”
Christian-American and member of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe

Story
At first this started as a store where I could make and sell merch with some military humor but as I posted more on our social media pages; I went from sharing history, a few new merch drops, showing conflict videos with tiny write-ups to actual news.
Why did I change the direction of the brand?
I would scroll around, read articles, or watch news on TV but would only see one narrative being told or what is this celebrity doing.... That's bullshit meant to keep you distracted and not news.
That's how Hell & Back Co. went from just funny merch to also this Unbiased and Unfiltered news platform which you see today.
Mission

ONLY MASTER WE SERVE: AVE CHRISTUS REX
Message from me:
Dear followers,
I believe what makes H&B Co. different is that we actually listen to our audience. Most major media outlets take a story, twist it to fit their agenda, feed it to you, and expect you to say "thank you. " What we do is dig through multiple sources, pull out the meat and potatoes-aka the facts-and give them to you straight so you can form your own opinions.
Like I've said, we listen to you. If I post a story and you know more, heard something different, or think something's off-please speak up. I encourage it. I'll even update the original post (keeping the old version visible on top) so you can see I have nothing to hide.
That said, I'll only make those updates once two or more credible sources confirm your claim.
I'm not going to change a post just because someone "heard it through the grapevine" or because it's a personal opinion-no matter how much I value your input. I don't claim to know more than you. I'm just a 30-year-old former grunt with a high school diploma who happens to have a deep interest in geopolitics and history, and a burning passion to deliver real news because I got tired of the Left and Right controlling the narrative.
Also, I'm an Orthodox Christian who believes Christ is King-so you know I'll never drink the
"kosher Kool-Aid."
Thank you for your support and for following.
