Just finished Lone Survivor the story of Marcus Luttrell, the only survivor of the SEAL Team 10 disaster in Afghanistan. Excellent read. He highlights the liberal's prosecution of soldiers for doing their job and how that led the team to let some goat herders go who had spotted them and they tipped off the Taliban. Highly recommended book.

I read that book too. I didn’t know what to think when I was done. The first part about the Seal training rang true and I had no reason to question any of it. But starting with the fateful mission gone wrong ... we have Marcus’s version of events with nothing to corroborate. Maybe it happened that way, maybe not. We do know he left the military pretty soon thereafter. I have a neighbor who’s a First Sergeant in the NG, and he said he’s heard some not so good things about the whole deal.
