Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 228
In this amazing documentary author, and former US SEAL, Dick Couch follows the incredible journey of class 228 as they fight their way through BUD/s (Basic Underwater Demolition) training. Here, “the only easy day was yesterday”, and “it pays to be a winner” are the mottos drilled into the trainee’s heads as the unrelenting BUD/s instructors teach them what it takes to be a Navy SEAL, and what it means to be a true warrior. Many will enter; few will win in the most rigorous training ever concocted by the United States military. Here is your chance to read about the training of the fiercest military warrior ever produced by the United States Navy.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of knowing exactly what goes on when a man decides he wants to stand with the best, and protect his country with the elite. I’ve always wanted to know how such a man is transformed into the fiercest soldier ever known. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in gaining knowledge about what it takes to become one of the most the vicious warriors to set foot in the sea, air, or on the battlefield.
Black Hawk Down: a story of modern war
Black Hawk Down drops you deep in the heart of Somalia, in the crumbling, scorched city of Mogadishu where a warlord named Mohamed Hassan Farah reins terror over innocent civilians, rebel clans overrun UN food shipments, and fighting, fear, and the thunder of gunfire are constant. The United States needs to get a hold of two high-priority targets that are loyal followers of the very powerful warlord, but something happens during the mission that nobody anticipated, something that would leave Ninety-nine elite soldiers trapped in the middle of the hostile city. As night falls they are surrounded by thousands of enemy gunmen who are very intent on revenge. Their wounded are bleeding to death. Their ammunition is dwindling. This is the story of how they got there, and how they fought their way out. This is the story of war.
