Although the story was interesting , the recording quality was not up to the normal high standards of Audible

Oh what could have been

Revisado: 03-26-21

I read the description of this book and I was very excited to read it! I really wanted to like it, but I just could not. It had the feeling like you were sitting down with a good ol’ boy who started telling stories with all sorts of inside jokes that, if you were not part of the original group, were not that funny. Then, as the story continued, he would just keep telling them and they became even less funny.

In the introduction to the book, the author says that the book is “not for the easily offended”, then proceeds to go out of the way to be as offensive as possible. Also, there were a few technical things that just did not make sense. The biggest for me was his description of his flight home after his first tour in Afghanistan. Where they flew him and his team the long way around the world: Oman - Germany - Diego Garcia - Thailand - Guam - Travis AFB - Ft Campbell. That kind of flight just doesn’t seem plausible. It was details like that made me question other things that the author put into his book. I will say that I am very glad the author did not leave in all the stuff that was redacted after the military censor had looked over it.

If you were to read this book as a drinking game you would be very well hydrated. When the author sounds off with a unit motto, description of the weapons on the aircraft, talks about the Rangers or Delta in a way that makes you think that he is in love with them, says something nasty about higher headquarters take one drink. When he talks trash about the USAF, has a random aside that is supposed to be funny, or talks about how he has to go in and set someone straight on how things need to be done take two drinks. If he says something nice about part of the military that is not Spec ops or randomly starts to go into poetry take three drinks.

I wish that it was unabridged version

My one complete about this book, was that it was a heavily abridged version of the book. I look forward to someday finding an unabridged version.

Not what I thought it was about..........

Any additional comments?

So I thought that I was getting a book about a para-military organization that started doing its own thing and got into trouble. I was wrong. What I got was something that was more of a conspiracy theory, now I will keep an open mind and every word might be true. It was just not what I wanted.
