Damn cool read Belloc, you learn somthing new everyday and all that. "Roger that sir, ****ing space weather!"

On the subject . . .

When it was first published I read Robert's Ridge (http://www.amazon.com/Roberts-Ridge-Sacrifice-Mountain-Afghanistan/dp/0553586807/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411834911&sr=8-1&keywords=roberts+ridge) in one sitting, if they are going to make movies about the war if Afghanistan someone needs to make a film about the battle atop Takur Ghar. It was the longest sustained firefight the 75th has been engaged in since The Battle of the Black Sea.

I have read this book 6 times front to back and have listened to it twice whilst amid cross country road trips.... one of the greats in my opinion. I've always said if I win the Powerball I'm getting the right director and I'm making this movie... and I'm doing it right, no Lone Survivor bs
