In “Lone survivor” Luttrell talked about the rules of engagement at length. Best I can remember he blamed the very restrictive ROE on the media and members of congress, which we know at the time was in Democratic hands. I seems to remember he praised GWB a time or two...can’t remember. I read LONE SURVIVOR after AMERICAN SNIPER so I don’t know if I blended the two.
I require “Lone Survivor” every semester in my Technology and Culture of War class, and usually have a SEAL come in and talk to the class. Students like the book very much.
