I read the whole thing last Thursday. Spoke to a retired seal friend this AM at the gym. He says controvesy over the book is all political. Seals behind this guy almost 100% My guy was Team 6 memember. BTW — looks like a librarian.
I had the honor of working with multiple SpecOps ground elements 1976 – 1990. Most of them don’t look the part until they get their mission briefs. And then, they become the most focused people you will ever meet, anywhere, any time.
Most of the actors used by Hollywood are the direct opposite of a true Team member. In fact even Hollywood’s stunt men don’t measure up when it comes down to the “real world” of SpecOps.
Me, I have been a proud COIN (Counter Insurgency) carrier since I volunteered for it in 1975. My work was in their direct air support efforts. Spectre Gunships are among the team’s favorite aircraft because it gives them what they want, where they want and when they want unlike most of the close air support platforms available.
