A career soldier/spec ops penned that?
I have a hard time buying that. It's written like someone who writes and edits books for a living.
It's too.... perfectly written.

If I'm wrong, well then I guess I'm wrong. lol

I don't know. I didn't think of that, but some spec ops people are very well educated.

I mean it's entirely possible, but my gut tells me that it's had a once-over from a professional.

There's A LOT of retired Special Operations authors. I can name a dozen without too much effort.

Arguably one of the most famous ones.... Jack Carr; Author of the Terminal List series of books.

You are more likely to find good writers in SOF because of the nature of their work; the After Action Reports they have to author to cite an example.

CS Lewis wasn't special ops, he was just infantry, but he turned out to be a pretty good writer.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

That was just a dick measuring contest.  I want to see who would win in a fist fight.  :D

How much did Biden send to Ukraine??
Quit measuring Dicks. Biden said this money would save Ukraine. How many billions??
Biden wasn't trying to end this War he was feeding it. ::)
Trump stopped the money , and guess who is at the table.

@neurosis said he wanted to see a fist fight  between Trump and Putin. I said no you don't.

What does that have to do with what you said?
