This one is great.

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell is well worth the time spent reading it. It is difficult to put it down once you start reading it. We must get to know our military heroes, Petty Officer Luttrell is every bit of one. A Navy Seal, PO1 Luttrell, was the sole survivor of a mission into the Afghan mountains. He speaks freely of his faith that sustained him. If you get nothing out of this book but this-it is time well invested-
1) God proved his presence time and time again in sparing this man from a horrible fate.
2) When our nation sends our warriors into combat, we must not tie their hands with rediculous rules of engagement. The enemy we face today does not play by rules and has nothing but
disdain for the fact that we do so. Those rules may have caused some good sailors to die up there in those Afghan mountains.
Thank you Petty Officer Luttrell for your service. Hooyah Marcus Luttell!

Current Read- "Blue Water Sailor" by Don Sheppard

An excellent book from a destroyerman. The things I missed out on in the Phillipines and on those Westpac cruises.
