I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to comment on this book. My girlfriend sent it to me in AFG (she sure knows how to pick 'em!). It is very humbling reading books like this. I had the honor of meeting two of the Soliders mentioned in the book; one who was in one of the blackhawks that crashed in Somalia, and one who was in a chinook that crashed atop Takur Gar. These are the kinds of men kids should look up to; if not in profession, at least in drive and dedication. They risk their lives day in and day out for men they have never met or hardly know. All of the men mentioned in this book, 160th or otherwise, are true professionals and I aspire to have what it takes to reach their level.
