billeisele 130 #1 May 30, 2009 after reading the book, you want to send the liberal press over there for a "reality check"Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 May 30, 2009 That is a good book! The author is pretty local to me and I have had the pleasure of shaking his hand and saying thank you. Then a few months ago some assholes killed his dog. It was a dog given to him through the VA to help him recover from his injuries and help adjust to civilian life. He chased the suspects through a few counties in his own truck before local LE caught up to the suspects and arrested them.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

rhaig 0 #4 May 30, 2009 don't fuck with a man's dog. They're lucky the LE caught them. I read the book also. Excellent read. Once I got about halfway in, I couldn't put it down.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #6 June 3, 2009 Quoteafter reading the book, you want to send the liberal press over there for a "reality check" For me all the whining about the "liberal media" was really annoying. The guy is a hero, no doubt, but using the fear of excoriation by the media as the source of all the Team's problems was a cop-out. I expect professional soldiers to realize that responsibility for civilian casualties is part of their profession, not just a result of "liberal media hype". The movie will be much better if they leave all that crap out. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
