At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

False remembrance and over heroic story telling
Revisado: 05-03-24
Been in combat more than a few times. With the Marines just west of the 10th at the time. This story is overly theatrical and a false take on actual events. Garbage Army tactics and false glory stories at their finest. Dude is trying to ride the SEAL boat to glory. Wish I didn’t use a credit.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 20
In The Things They Cannot Say, award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks these difficult questions of 11 soldiers and marines, who - by sharing the truth about their wars - display a rare courage that transcends battlefield heroics. For each of these men, many of whom Sites first met while in Afghanistan and Iraq, the truth means something different.

Complete garbage
Revisado: 10-27-23
This author had no right to be imbedded with Marines and Soldiers during the toughest fighting prior to southern Afghan. This man has no historical knowledge of the wars fought before him. He focused on irrelevant facts, like a main stream media reporter. Couldn’t finish. If I needed a narcissistic view from a non combatant, I could have watched the news and other garbage out let’s. Complete garbage.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 159
In late June, 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of 19 US special-operations personnel who died at the hands of insurgent/terrorist leader Ahmad Shah - and the lone survivor of Shah's ambush - deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important - yet widely misreported - chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full details of which the public burned to learn. Victory Point reveals the complete, as-yet untold story of Operation Red Wings and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers.

Glory hounding at its finest
Revisado: 09-06-22
While this book represented my Battalions struggle in Eastern Afghanistan, it was overly dramatized and poorly written. I respect the effort, but it just isn’t it.
The majority of the Battalions” Glory Hounds “ came forward, looking for notoriety and it is overly apparent. The book is way over militarized and a tough read. This also goes for his book on our exploits in the Al Anbar a year later.
To many ridiculous quotes from ignorant staff NCOs and Officers. These were far from necessary.
While I’m glad to hear our battalions exploits throughout two theaters of war, this book was poorly written.
Back to Lecky, Burgin and Sledge I guess.
