glenden4411 's review for:
Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
by Patrick Robinson, Marcus Luttrell
A good description of what it takes to become a navy seal and of a dangerous mission, but there are many huge problems with this book. I don't recommend it.
Spoiler alert-
An afghan village protects him from the Taliban, but they may face retribution from the Taliban including potentially assassinating the village leader and his entire family, but the author never follows up to see what happens to those that saved him nor explains why he hasn't.
He lies to the village repeatedly to protect his own skin.
He is obsessive that God is protecting him over and over and how grateful he is for God (blessing him) while many of his military peers are slaughtered.
He unwaveringly supports George Bush ( who lied to get us into iraq)and strongly states that if the military was allowed to massacre many more Afghans we could win, and blames liberals for all that is wrong. His viewpoint of how our country and a war should work is so far from reality it was hard to stomache.
