Really cool read.
Envious of your spot for reading! I'm reading "the strongest tribe" by Bing West. Commentary on Iraq. He also wrote "The Village" about counterinsurgency in Vietnam

That is a good one. "Master's of Chaos" is a good one if the spec ops world intrigues you
Monday reading
World War Z is a cool book.

I'm wearing out the classics since they are free on e-readers... Half way through Moby Dick right now, have some Dickens on deck.

I read that one every couple of years...for some reason I find it incredibly difficult to incorporate those lessons.
Reading The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 228 by Dick Couch now. Got on a SEAL kick a couple of years ago and can't break away...each book seems to lead to 2 - 3 others.

Best Seal book is the original Rogue Warrior by Dick Marcinko
Lone Survivor is good too.
If you want a KICK ASS military book rear Marine Sniper. Carlos Hathcock's book from Vietnam.

I liked this book by Bing.
bing west - No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah
Its excellent. Strongest tribe is the same but pulls back and explores the geo-political climate and influence on Iraq.

Yea, I've got Rogue Warrior too...
Lone Survivor was actually the book that started this journey. It's a good book, but Gary Williams' Seal of Honor (the posthumous biography of Michael Murphy - Marcus Luttrell's SEAL team leader on that mission who gave his life to call in the extraction team) is a much better examination of the character of these warriors.
I haven't read Hathcock's book, but I've seen every documentary I could find on him. He's an interesting fella for sure...even the elite SEAL snipers vie for a spot in the Carlos Hathcock Marine Sniper School.
This!!!

I was reading the last part of that book when the Tsunami hit northern Japan.
I had little sympathy.
x2. It's hard to wrap your mind around that level of brutality.
