As somebody on Discord mentioned, that SEALs usually make the most stories or always have a story to tell. While I never served in any special forces unit, it seems that SEALs do a lot on this planet. I've read a few books and invariably it's some declassified operation and such. This book is no different, which highlights the anti-communist fervor back then, during the Vietnam War. While the author did serve operationally in Vietnam, he only glosses over most of it, instead focusing most of the book on the Congo operation. Names I'm sure he mentioned are changed to protect the innocent and guilty. I think this book is a good book to read, and not filled with the Hooyah mentality that special forces operators get these days. James was a quiet professional, and as one myself in some ways, I can respect that. 5 out of 5 stars.
