I don't approve of her either, so we're even. Wink

Same.

That's interesting. I'm currently reading Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell's other book, and it has WAY more politics and anger/BS than American Sniper. I would expect this book of his to be the same. I've considered putting it down, but when he gets back on topic it is very interesting.

I liked this book a lot. I agreed wholeheartedly with his disdain towards the politicians who choke military missions with almost impossible ROE.

Great book. Seen the movie?

Just finished "The Hunt for Red October."

Ripper read. Love the movie too. Must have seen it close to ten times.

Just Finished Tom Clancy Full Force and Effect.

It's a page turner.

I've got that beside the bed, but it will be a holiday read, like all my other Clancy novels!

No...I always hate movies after the book.

I agree on his ROE comments as well...except his guys are the ones that wrote the ROEs

I usually watch the movie first and then read the book. I broke that rule with both Lone Survivor and American Sniper. Regretted it both times. I definitely enjoyed Service more than Lone Survivor. It happens to detail the deployment in Ramadi right after Chris Kyle and it shows the effort that eventually turned everything around. Yes, he does jump into some politics, but in general it felt more uplifting compared to the other 2 books.

I've heard of it, but am not familiar---is it tragedy or a comedy?
