Good book to look for...

I just finished reading "Lone Survivor", by Marcus Luttrell (Navy Seal) w/ Patrick Robinson co-authoring. Excellent account of Seal Team 10s battles in Afghanistan in 2005 (largest loss of Spec-ops in a single battle). What is really interesting is the relationships between al Qaeda/Taliban/Afghanies and trying to the gain support of the locals.

I highly recommend it for anyone wondering why so many soldiers are against our current rules of engagement or wonder why we haven't got bin Laden yet.

Marcus has been on local radio here in San Diego a couple times, and he is a hero for sure. Great book and incredible story.
