This book is about 1stSgt. Kasal’s life leading up to his most honorable moment while in the battle of Fallujah. The book starts out by telling how 1stSgt. Kasal grew up in Afton, Iowa.

This novel depicts the difference between non-rates, non-commissioned, and commissioned officers very well. It explains their duties and what is expected out of them and shows that if someone excels at those duties they will be entrusted with more responsibility. Every young Marine should read this novel as it shows how one Marine is a puzzle piece in the large picture, and how that one Marine can make or break a

The story Fearless by Eric Blehm takes readers deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the story of one of its greatest operators, Adam Brown. Adam is a man who has a lot of rough patches in his life.

Adam Brown achieves his own American Dream by overcoming his hardships and having his family and friends surround and support him.

McRaven never had to persuade his sailors to act, he told them to act. His wrote his speech in a similar fashion. McRaven used few rhetorical devices, but his few were powerful. He used asyndetons multiple times throughout his speech to signify that certain things are equal. “It matters not your gender, your ethnic or religious background, your orientation, your social status.” McRaven wanted his listeners to feel equal to him and each other. McRaven also used anaphora to emphasize how easy it is to quit. “Ring the bell and you no longer have to wake up at 5 o'clock. Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the freezing cold swims…” The emotional reel of this speech came from the message, not the writing. SEALS are seen as superhuman. To hear that they struggle shows no one is invincible. If a SEAL can see all these ideas while fighting for their life, why can’t we? Everyone has heard this general speech, “making yourself better changes the world.” Who has heard it from the struggles of SEAL training? The audience looks up to the SEALs who put up with the constant harassment, the cold, and the pain to become the best of the best. McRaven also explained how to change the world. “Start by making your bed, find someone to help you paddle, measure a person by the size of their heart…” His ideas are simple and easy to

There was conflicting information about which Seal actually killed bin Laden when an unnamed former Seal says he fired the kill shot, unlike the story in the book by Bissonette. Once again, Federal court panels reject the release of the images ruling, “the release of post-mortem images could lead to attacks on America.” In late 2014 a letter is released warning Seals about releasing disclosed information. This betrays their “promise to secrecy.” Since, civil war has consumed seria and no matter the outcome, this will lead to attacks even after the war. The political leaders of Libya and Yemen were both killed, weirdly soon after the death of bin

Former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, under the pen name Mark Owen, describes how he spent his day in detail in his new book, “No Easy Day”, the firsthand account of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden.

“By the look of things, Captain Everett Donovan, 1st Marine Division, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, was lucky to be alive” (13). Donovan has many conflicts by this point, but his biggest one is the fact that he is the only surviving member of his regiment, and is stranded in the North Korean tundra fighting for his life. He faces extreme cold as well as not knowing what day it is, no definite way to get help, and being shot and captured by a North Korean sniper as part of his troublesome journey through the tundra.

During his time in combat, Sledge describes the strong and brash personalities of the Marine personnel he fights alongside and their persistence in working together to defeat the enemy.

Adam and Kelley showed that they were true heroes through compassion. Adam Brown was a part of Navy SEAL Team Six, a group of 16 of America’s biggest bad asses. Most people would assume that the words used to describe Adam Brown would have been hard, cruel words, but these people would have been wrong. Adam had something that only true heroes have deep within them, and that was compassion. Adam had compassion for everything he did throughout his life. He showed compassion when he was in high school playing football, a sport at which Adam excelled. He was regarded as one of the smallest people on the team in his younger years, but also known as one of the hardest workers that the coaches had ever seen. On page 22, the coaching staff at the high school
