Good story but the author ventures too far in areas he has little knowledge

Overall very cool story. But I had to put it down for long periods as I could not bear the author's clear stance against a man, even a supposed former DEVGRU operator (which is ???...only team guys get that tryout...but maybe one of the intel teams). That is one of the biggest problems w today's young generations. They are, frankly, taught to be pussies. EVERY man has a DUTY to protect himself, his family and those weaker than he from another individual who means to bring violence upon him. The author's ideology unfortunately is disappointing and a little nauseating.

This is a story of an agency staffed with a vast majority of patriotic individuals with no true combat experience. And the story about 'misunderstanding' the payment for prostitutes in Columbia is just fu$%^/×÷ idiotic. That is 17-year old cherry sh÷/!. Seriously!!!?? I have no issue with skirt chasing or pant chasing. None. I've been a commander. The rule for us is the same - never get caught and know your country of ststion well beforehand. On a side note...no one would have given 2 sh/!s about Hilary's "outrage".

Garrett Cole is made to often be excessively indecisive in the most sensitive circumstances which is uncharacteristic of a former SF group member. in fact it is almost unheard of that any SF group member would join the DEA after serving.

Jeff bears his soul in a most genuinely beautiful way. A former CAG commander who writes in an extraordinary captivating and sincere way. He is truly a warrior in God's army. He is a man to be honored and held up as a model for all men. God bless you and your family Jeff. And thanks to my brother Jim for introducing me to this wonderful book. Both of you live the code - de oppresso liber.

Carr's dedication to historical detail and, thus, forming the most accurate picture possible (as is his practice in all his books) places this comprehensive depiction of the 1983 Beirut tragedy in the clearest light I have read to date. And, as always, his storytelling is captivating, serious and palpable.

Good story but some irritating mistakes on military nomenclature and culture

Overall entertaining with good plot and subplots. Some 'amateur' mistakes: 1) As a general rule an Air Force special operations unit never ever would lead a US Marine or US Army unit in direct combat, 2) there is no such thing as a "clip"; ammunition is loaded into a rifle or pistol magazine. Guns are those big ones on a naval vessel or airship, 3) there is simply no way an LTC in the USAF or 0-5 in any branch, would not know to take an M4 carbine off safe before firing it.

Great story but leave it to authors who are former AF to call a magazine a "clip". It's just a quintessential example of the pure fiction In this entertaining series: an AF unit like "Whiplash" simply would not exist...its just not coded in the US Military culture and warrior pipeline be cause it would be stupid.

Good story. Keeps the readers attention and has a lot of good military nomenclature. But it lacks a warrior's perspective. For one, no Air Force special ops unit would ever lead a ground special ops combat unit from any other branch - especially MARSOC. It's not their mission or expertise. AF PJs and JTACs are great, but they would never operate as a leadership unit in areas outside their expertise. Second, the 'Whiplash' unit would not be 'part time' with unit members having day jobs...then getting called up by the President to supercede many other tier 1 or 2 special operations units who are superior in every aspect. Just not even close to reality. Third, and here is where I realized Dale Brown, albeit a good writer, never served in uniform, and needs way better editors: no soldier, airman, marine or sailor will EVER call a pistol or rifle a "gun" or it's respective magazine a "clip". That is simply embarrassing.

A few liberties taken that are truly fiction...such as women serving in a special operations assault unit. They are capable in every way but simply have yet to prove physically capable of a male professional athlete - which is the level of a special operator. The standards are being lowered to allow this (by cowardly civilian leaders who have never had to defend themselves or their country in combat), but this can only be taken so far.

The pace of the story and sub plots all good. The premise of the story that the US would give two fu%&$ if China, or anyone else for that matter, attacked/invaded Somalia is simply untethered to reality.
