I read this book because I watched the movie, and I am so glad that I did. Learning about Navy Seal operations is always interesting, and inspiring. I could never do a fraction of the things that these men put themselves through. Marcus Luttrell has an amazing fortitude. I enjoy his podcast and the work he does with Team Never Quit is just as inspiring as this book, and his other book. I cannot imagine being in the situation that these guys were. The guys who tried to rescue them that lost their lives, the team itself being caught out and surrounded and fighting to the last bullet and last man. Reconciling all that loss with the fact that you were the only survivor and to endure what he endured, yet still being so positive and trying to help everyone else keep that mentality is just truly, truly admirable and inspiring.
