Since I have not even received this product, it is difficult to assess. I ordered this book on 11/27/07 and 12/24/07 due for delivery. It was not delivered. My contact with Amazon since then has been a terrible experience with mistake after mistake. There were mistakes made on the original results. I was then told that the expedition has been made (3 pounds total). Mistakes have been made about the cost and the return and I also have 2 / 3 different delivery dates. In fact, they made mistakes on nearly everything, and I will never again Amazon Rating: 1 / 5
The book differs be around to fill up the plan for the story. The last two chapters are read everything worth while too. The book is not worth his salt. Rating: 1 / 5
Hey Mr. Swann, 12 was the weapon he was carrying a sign, not an M4, you uninformed, thoughtless prick. Look it up you fool. I know exactly what you are doing for our country, as Mr. Luttrell and businesses have been in these mountains. Have a great day. Rating: 5 / 5
If you are a professional looking for tactical advice that you alive in Afghanistan to avoid it. Such a man Recon 4 is vulnerable and largely managed by the superior power of evil. Ask lurp Vietnam and the guys SOG team, as happened so often in the old days, when the media only say jamais.La lesson to be learned from this book is something professionals who are reading between the lines and it is not a good idea to share with the world.

Leave the poor soldiers in a clash blunt and purpose of the “mission” is now the survival, most of them modestly raised the question as to why they may be there. I thought that to be the elite troops able to distinguish between BS and Washington would be the truth. It seems that until now the seals only grunt on corporate imperialist steroids geeked. What I found in this book is kind of funny screed patriotic religious kill Bush tells you what that is, no doubt. Who is the enemy, sir? Wait, I’ll tell in a minute, ‘Oh, yesterday they were friends before they sold their shares Carly Group, now they are enemies who threaten our lives. . . Kill them! This guy really needs to see the movie “Shooter” to see how the military complex banking throws soldiers in conflicts, the only benefit of the people who send our jobs to China and India.
