If you haven’t read Luttrell’s book, you should. The state-run, commie “media” and the shyster lawyers in this country killed those SEALs. It wasn’t the Taliban. They let the little bass turds go because they were afraid of being charged in this country if they tried to defend themselves. The buffoons on Capitol Hill need to fight their own damn wars. They should take their “lawyers” and “judges” with them.

The book Lone Survivor was absolutely riveting, I couldn’t put it down.
I also can’t wait to see Unbroken about Louis Zamperini. What a page-turner. It’s unbelievable what these men went through to ensure our continued freedom.

If I have my facts right... a quick reaction force was sent into the breech to rescue the team, and the CH47 Chinook that they were riding in was shot down by a raghead firing an RPG from a line of sight position. All on board were lost. I was in-country at the time (Kandahar) and the news hit the base as if each of us had lost a car load of family members back in the states. A “local” way, way, way out and up, up, up in Injun country, took the surviving member of the SEAL team into his home in order to care for him, as is their custom (remarkable as it sounds) because Marcus had made it all the way to the local’s doorstep. The local was obligated to help according to local customs. I have not read the book... just going from memory. The tally that got off the shot was one lucky mofo and conversely, the helicopter crew and QRF had a VERY BAD day. I NEVER liked riding in those huge birds, and I always had two parachutes on when I did, permitting me to jump out each time, which I also did, AND I wasn't ever in hostile territory during those jumps.

Watched the movie today .... Academy awards for the stunt men and the makers of the weapons.... Thrown and blown off too many cliffs to count.....
Marcus makes an appearance in the movie during the missions planning briefing. Good reverence and respect IMO to those who died during operation red wing.
Damn all goat herders .... Stay safe !!
