 My favorite book. September 16, 2008

Truely my favorite book. It made me want to join the SEALs. If you are thinking of joining and maybe need a little extra push- read this book, or maybe avoid it!
10 out of 10. 5 stars.
America.
Lone Survivor September 20, 2008
This is a wonderful story of dedication, patriotism, and teamwork. It's a story worth reading during this special election time. It tells the story of what Americans can DO for their country, rather than sitting back and ASKING what their country is supposed to do for them. Thank God, there are people like Marcus Luttrell who are bring with them the ingredients necessary to get any task completed. Couple that with outstanding training and the results are going to be good. This book should be required reading before any American goes into a voting booth.
God wasn't finished with Marcus September 20, 2008

What an awesome read Lone Survivor was!! I just finished it last night and have nothing but praise for Marcus Luttrell and the rest of his SEAL team. The book is just so powerful in its content about how SEALS are trained and put into dangerous situations. God, obviously, wasn't finished with Marcus yet since his gun kept reappearing just when he needed it. I loved his descriptions of the mainstream media and their ideas of "fairness" to the enemy since it coincides with mine. Gulab and his village deserve a star in their crowns when they get to heaven for helping Marcus. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see how our military handles themselves in war.

This was a great book. Not perfect. There were some plot holes that I will not go into here. There is a lot of Anti-Bush rhetoric in the media. This book gives an excellent account of the other side of the story. Why we are fighting in the Middle East.
I would LOVE to see a follow up book after Afghanistan is stabilized. How the area is changed? Then I think that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan will be given it just due. People will understand "this is why we are over there". George Bush will not be seen as a bad President, but one with great foresight.
SEALS are Warriors September 23, 2008
Wow, this book was quite revealing in both SEAL training and discipline and what happened on that fateful "Redwing" mission. I heard about the Medal of Honor being given to Lt Murphy posthumously but did not know the details of why. This book takes you right to the front line and gets you as close as possible to what these guys experienced.
My hat goes off to all of them. Thank you for your service!
