Yea, I can see that point of view, but I think it's also important that we recognize the timeline here ... Tapper published his book in 2012 and then did a big feature piece on SSgt Romeshi in 2013. I don't know when he sold the rights to the book, but it was definitely before SSgt Romeshi published his book (Red Platoon, 2016).
I wonder if SSgt Romeshi gets a cut because they're using his name? Not sure, but I just want to make sure it's clear that this wasn't some case of both guys having books out and the studios choosing Tapper over SSgt Romeshi.
Read Clinton Romesha's book <em>Red Platoon</em> for the definitive account, it's gripping and harrowing and fills in a lot of the details the movie couldn't capture. It's very telling that he doesn't even focus on himself much at all, despite his actions earning him the Medal of Honor in that battle.
Read the book Red Platoon it happens……
