Tell that to MSgt John Chapman after the "big leagues" SEALs left him on a mountain by himself. Then they lied and tried to cover it up for 16 years, even going as far as actively opposing his upgrade to the Medal of Honor, even though they knew he killed more enemy combatants that day than all the SEALs combined.
I've read a few. You should check this one out.
Also, one thing we 100% agree upon, is fuck Fox "News" - US media in general is just a corporate mouthpiece - so naturally the MIC is a loud voice in the fray.
I'm surprised VIACOM let Stewart and Colbert shit on the wars for as long as they did.
Taking this opportunity to shill my favorite AFSOC/JSOC book, just for the sake of you folks unaware of John Chapman.
For any guys that want a look into MSgt John Chapman’s story, what controllers do, or just a good read I recommend buying this book.
That was a good summary. Here's the FLIR footage with a commentary by the co-author of the book about it - Alone At Dawn
I'm 100% a shill, being an ex-USAF guy with Chapman as a personal hero - but it's absolutely a story anyone in hoggit would appreciate - especially knowing the value of those sweet sweet 9-lines and lasers deep in the shit.
I just ordered it, but glad to hear it’s a good read.
For anyone interested, here is the Amazon link
Don't forget "Alone at Dawn". :(
