Given the glut of Special Forces literary efforts that have been published in the UK and USA since the 90s (seemed to be a thing after the first Gulf War) you have to wonder how many are partially or completely BS. I remember when SF types used to be tight-lipped about their careers.
I've always despised Lone Survivor. I had a boss, retired Army Captain, in Corporate Security tell me the best war stories come from someone f-ing up in the first place. Ig I'm shocked someone had the confidence to try that and the Seals let it slide. Were the Seals desperate for bodies back then?
I saw the movie in the Ft. Lewis area and the audience had troops in it and they liked it. That said, the writer does have a compelling argument on what really happened. I mean, the real real, is the way one could frame it. The fog of war is evident here along with...well, this attitude goes way back, like, how close did The Iliad cut it? We will never know. Maybe we are a bit better off here. So, if this has to be said, it has been...said.
So much for stolen valor. We got some real doozies here in TexBanistan. I was a sneaky snake and trained with the SEALs and Force Recon and could tell some frog man stories too.

Probably Not a Good Idea…SEALS Must Have Complete Preparation..
Or They Come Home in a Body Bag🙏
