"Lone Survivor"

I would highly recommend everyone who has not read this book to read it.
It is the story of "operation redwing". Very interesting story of navy seal training and of the decision that cost them them their lives.

Ya funny how worrying about being put on trial for murder can lead to combat deaths, ain't it?

yes, i wonder how anyone conceived a war with roe's. I am moderately left....but after reading that book, I was in total shock. I come from a military family. My father served 30 yrs. I can remember him talking about "this new man's army" sucks. I never understood that till i read that book.
