For you readers out there. Great book.

For all of you out there in TV land that read, I have almost completed one of the most unforgettable books. It is called Lone Survivor, and is written by Marcus Luttrell. Marcus is the lone survivor of a seal team that was lost in Afghanistan during Operation Red Wing.

Man those guys are tough. Reading about the fire fight that cost 3 of the 4 SEALS their life was amazing and truly sad. I was on a plane and was almost brought to tears as I read.

So if you enjoy reading I highly suggest this book, I do not think it glorifies war or anything like that, but it serves as a damn fine homage to those lost on this mission. Give it a try and I'll bet you will not be disapointed.

Truth is, most of Hatcher's information is still meaningful.
The referenced book includes a very useful discussion of "stopping power," which, though old, is still almost completely valid today. Just remember that Hatcher wrote about round-nose solids, not expanding bullets.
And there's lots, lots more.

I have it, and other books by Hatcher, in my personal library.

...Steve, I would NOT recommend this for Jean. It might give her ideas. :D
Jean's "ideas" have gone from being my backup to being the Bull-Goose Gunny of our family.
Take it from me: She doesn't need that book.

Instead, I suggest that you never, ever get her upset at you. :eek:
