lone survivor
TLDR: This is 100x better than the movie.
I think about this book almost daily.
I didn’t grow up a military kid, didn’t really care for it. This changed everything.
This exploded my appreciation for the men and women who sacrifice their life for mine - yes, the pencil pushers too. There’s a role there.
The movie was good, Marky Mark was great, but this book BLOWS THE MOVIE OUT OF THE FRIGGIN WATER.
I wanted to rip a door off when they explained what BUDs was, and then I wanted to sob into a pillow when I finished the book.
It took me to emotional places I have never been before.
You’ll read how these 4 dudes walked into the mouth of a lion and fought an army of enemies while literally throwing themselves off the side of a mountain, getting shot in the face, breaking all the bones, and doing it all in the name of faith in something they believed in.
Dude. This book is seriously a must have in your collection. You need to read this. It will inspire a new outlook on life, it will challenge what you think is ok.
