Seriously? He spent the first 1/3 of the book talking about how much of bad-ass SEAL he is/was. I gave that book away.

You sir are a dirty pirate whore!! [ROFL1]

That dude just drove me nuts in that book.

I am now reading American Sniper (another SEAL book) which is much, much better.

THIS.I,m suprised he could get off his own dick long enough to string together an entire sentence. Four guys in the middle of nowhere is not direct action anything, strictly recon. If your compromised, you pull out of the AO.

Im pretty sure its ok to say you are a badass when you become a SEAL. IMHO

Find a copy of "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" (Doolittle Raid) if you want to read about some heros.

You should read real books, "5 years to Freedom" the true story of LtCol Rowe
"Hell in a Small Place" Bernard Fall

or even some of the RECON books,,or any host of others

It was more than that. The dude didn't stop. We get it, you are a Navy SEAL. Now get on with the story.

I can't remember any of the SEALs I've known or worked with having to brag, or say how tough they were. Just sayin'....

Not a badass, but tougher than most spec ops guys could dream about. True hero and survivor - Louis Zamperini.
