Just read Outlaw Platoon by Sean Parnell bout a platoon operating out of an FOB near Paki. Good read

Currently in the middle of Service by Marcus Lutrell of Lone Survivor fame. Also a good read
 
Re: Couple good books

Three books about post-911 American military operations in Afghanistan:

Not a Good Day to Die, by Sean Naylor, Army Times writer on the ground.

Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account, by Dalton Fury, Delta operator on the ground.

Jawbreaker, by Gary Bernsten, CIA commander on the ground.

These are personal, eye witness, eye-opening accounts, and therefore probably the truth. Bush supporters will not like these accounts of what happened, and what didn't happen, in Aphgan the Winter of 2001.

Operators were unable to secure approval to kill Bin Laden the Winter after 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
An Air Force cargo plane pilot / General was allowed command of Anaconda, f'ed it up, got men killed, and experienced no consequences! How many died violent deaths.... our own brothers and others as well during the months and years before sops finally killed him last year? A sad, sad truth, indeed.
 
Re: Couple good books

A few good ones I've read lately are Fearless about Seal Adam Brown, The Red Circle about Brandon Webb who trained Marcus Lutrell and others. Every Day is Monday is a good read about marine snipers in iraq.
