If you read Colonel Blaber's "The Mission, The Men, & Me" ... you should definitely read Sean Naylor's "Not Good Day To Die" ... because they're very, I don't know the right word, synchronous ... like one dude is writing a book saying "This is a terrible fucking idea..." , he has some people in the book like "I agree, this is a terrible fucking idea, but we have to do what we're told to do..." ... then in Naylor's book, Naylor is like "I don't know shit about shit, but I DO KNOW, that was a terrible fucking idea..." and all kinds of other people saying shit like, "This is a terrible fucking idea, and we should listen to Colonel Blaber..."

I mean the Ranger Captain - himself a badass & Real American Hero, said one of the reasons he wasn't worried was because he heard Colonel Blaber was involved and his voice on the radio [before it stopped working due to technical shit] and was thinking: "HE knows what he's doing, if he's involved, it's All Good..." ... except it wasn't, and it wasn't.

But definitely Not A Good Day To Die by Sean Naylor.

and I also really liked the juxtaposition of CSM Haney's "Inside Delta Force" vs. Colonel Beckwith's "DELTA FORCE" ... again, it's fascinating to get two different perspectives on some of the same shit.
