Summary: Unbelievable
Comment: The book is both inspirational and heartbreaking. It is simply, but well-written. I hope some
politicians read it (including Arlen Spector)and that they readdress their priorities. We are
blessed to have people like them protecting us.

Summary: True American Heroes
Comment: The men of SEAL Team 10 are true American heroes. This should be required reading for all Americans.
Regardless of your political views, you cannot read this book and feel anything other than pride
that men like Marcus, Mikey, Axe, and Danny are on our side.

Summary: Great story tainted by juvenile rant
Comment: There's much to admire about this book. The detailed description of SEAL training was fascinating,
and as the author was relating this experience he had my attention, my sympathy, and my respect. The
whole portrayal of the firefight and its aftermath, when the author is being sheltered by the
Afghanis, was can't-put-it-down material.

But too often, someone - the author or his
collaborator - feels compelled to inject their simpleminded paranoia about the liberal media into
this otherwise fascinating story. At this point the whole thing turns into a Rush Limbaugh show, and
the entire enterprise crashes to the ground.

And are we really supposed to believe
that as the SEALs are heatedly whispering among themselves, debating whether to murder three
shepherds that happen upon them, fearing for their lives as they keep one eye out for the Taliban
and the other on their hostages, someone in the group actually warns against execution because "the
liberal media" could find out about it and crucify the SEALs? Please...

Summary: I am sure this will be a movie someday....
Comment: What a great little book about an amazing group of people who defend the USA from threats many of us
are aware of, but know little about. The author, Marcus, is a Navy Seal who was involved with one
of the worst disasters in Seal Team history. This book goes in depth into how someone becomes a
Seal, and what the Seal's do for the military and our country. The training they go through is
really unbelievable - that part of the book is as good as the story of the failed mission where
Marcus has to survive for five days while being hunted down by the Taliban.

Marcus is
a hard-core right-wing Texan - and he does not hide that fact. He is honest about what he believes
about the media, the 'liberal' politicians, and the like. I may not agree with all of his political
beliefs, but that does not change the fact that the story is truly moving. I honor what he, and
others like him, do for the USA.

Summary: Be careful! I started reading and I couldn't put it down!
Comment: While reading this book, I felt I was Marc Lutrell and it was me going through SEAL training and
fighting along side Axe, Mikey and Danny. Thats how well this book is written. It was an
educational, exciting, painfully realistic, humorous and exhilerating read. This book will wake you
up! It opens your eyes about the damage that liberal know nothing media, lawyers and politicians do
to our military and war fighting capabilities. This is not a read, it is an experience.
