Lone Survivor
I just completed a lot of business travel and now that I am back I have to say that I read an amazing book....audiobook available also...Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10.
http://www.navytimes.com/news/2007/0...lbook_070618w/
This story written by a Navy Seal is one amazing book. It will amp you up and knock you down. It gives a look into the eyes of a patriot, and warrior. It also does a nice job, with out directly referring to it, of explaining why operators need the highest level of stress training in the world.
It is told by a SEAL, so you will get his point of view on everything. Very good read.

Re: Lone Survivor
The team received the Navy Cross, the SEAL Leader, who stood in the open, and while getting shot twice, kept calling for backup, received the Congressional Medal of Honor.
