Summary:
How LIBERALS KILL American heroes!!!
Comment:
This book shines the light of truth on how our LIBERAL: MEDIA, POLITICIANS (DEMOCRAT and
REPUBLICAN), RETIRED MILITARY, PROFESSORS, TEACHERS and CITIZENS, directly have a hand in killing
the finest young men and women our country produces. The evidence is irrefutable, LIBERAL'S KILL
American heroes when they influence military rules of engagement, and we as real Americans should
elect strong leaders to prevent their perversions. This book should be required reading for all
teenage Americans, as it clearly introduces American exceptionalism and a hero creation process.
Hero training is a first half of the book prelude to Operation Redwing, straight forward and
inspiring, but only hinting at the action to come. When the actual mission begins hold on to your
seats, because "LONE SURVIVOR" reads like a viewing of the 'Bourne Identity', and will force you to
replace your list of favorite Super Hero names, like Superman and Hulk, with the names of real life
heroes like Murphy, Axelson, Dietz, Kristensen and Luttrell. This work of nonfiction will enrage
you and clarify why LIBERALS SHOULD BE DESPISED and fought at every opportunity, but you will also
smile, laugh, tear up and be forever haunted by the fact these great men are real and their families
loss is ours as Americans. Lastly, read "LONE SURVIVOR", pass it on, and let us all pray LIBERAL'S
will see through their ignorance and stop COLLABORATING WITH THE ENEMY TO KILL future heroic
Americans.

Summary:
couldn't get past the firt 40 pages
Comment:
I really wanted to read this book, but found I couldn't get past the first 40 pages. The author he
can't keep his personal political beliefs out of the narrative. If I heard one more great thing
about George Bush or let's hear more about the "liberal American Media". Come on! Enough already,
how about a good war story, not a rant taken from the Bill O'Reilly Show. And I'm sorry but modesty
is not part of this guys lexicon. Ok, Ok, I get it the Seals are the Greatest soldiers, fighters,
shooters, cooks, gardeners, painters, etc, in the world. Look I really wanted to like this book,
but this guys ego and self righteous political comments were too much. Sometimes hearing someone
being humble instead of saying how great they are goes down a little easier. I should have know
when the jacket of the book had two good reviews, both from texas ( here's a little hint the author
is also from texas).

Summary:
A great story poorly written
Comment:
This book is a portrayal of a Navy SEAL - his early upbrining, the SEAL training program that so few
pass and most importantly, his role in an operation in Afganistan that ended in disaster for his
team and a rescue team. His biases and perspectives are not mine, but I didn't mind hearing them -
after all, they probably reflect widely held beliefs within the military... On the other hand,
there are parts of the book that stretch credulity (Marcus shot an Afgan between the eyes, who then
fell screaming over a cliff), and there is more fluff than needs to be. Overall, a disappointment.

Summary:
Powerful!
Comment:
Marcus Luttrell writes a powerful book that shows the hardship of training, the perfection of the
SEAL, and the courage of men.
Marcus is one of the participants of Operation Redwing
where nineteen special forces members died in one day. I remember the news stories back when I was
in college. I remember seeing Michael Murphy's photo on television. Murphy is probably my idea of
how a SEAL should look like; cool, calm, and incredibly fit. I felt a sort of sadness come over me
when I saw Murphy's photo on television. Some time later, I heard Murphy got the Medal Of Honor and
I knew from the get go after seeing a picture of this man, that he must of died heroically and
probably behaved like how a true SEAL should to the end.
Now I have the chance to read
over the story about Operation Redwing. I was more interested in hearing what Murphy did that day,
but then I found that Marcus did a wonderful job explaining the whole thing; from training to how he
survived the slaughter.
I won't go into much details about the story since I think most
people will know the entire story. The one important lesson I learned about the training was take it
one minute at a time, don't think about the future or how you will perform in the future; think
about right now. I think this is an important life lesson that can be used outside of physical
training and into everyday life.
By the end of the story I was a bit sad. Marcus was
rescued by villagers in the Afghan mountains and these people protected Marcus with their life. Not
only that, they took the time to insure that Marcus would be rescued and that the Taliban didn't
have the last shot. I was a bit sad that to hear about the village children and how the Taliban
abused the children while they tried to gather things for Marcus. I was also surprised by how people
gathered around Marcus's parents and family. I think it goes to show that even though the media
might make it seem like everyone is against the current war in the Middle East, people still care
about friends and families. I think it goes to show that America is a great country and its citizens
care about others just as much as they care about themselves.
Overall, I am happy with
the book. I am sad of the fact how we lost so many young people, but I think the key thing about
this book is that there are good people out there who are willing to lend you a hand when you're
down. I heard another good book is Bravo Two Zero. I am planning to read that book in the
future.

This book will renew your faith in the American fighting Man and also reveals that there are still
heroes today in the American Military.
