"Lone Survivor..." the story of operation Red Wings.
Listened to the book, read the book, re-listened to the book. Now I've seen the Docudrama.
A number of significant changes for dramatic effect. But the core of this heroic story remains intact. It's sad in a way that all wars are sad--people on both sides of conflict, loved by other people, losing their lives.
Marcus Luttrell's brothers-in-arms gave their last full measure doing what we train and pay them to do: stand in the gap and face down bad people. Don't be distracted by the politics of war.
This is a story about service, valor, love and sacrifice. Be grateful. Be respectful. Be gracious.
Save your rage for the politics of war, for the politicians, and make them pay.
Hold those who serve so selflessly, in your hearts.
