Continuing in my current theme of military memoirs, I just finished "SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite SEAL Sniper". The title is pretty much what you get. It's well written, and it's an interesting look inside the training that goes into making a SEAL team member. The author was involved in the Battle of Mogadishu, which is also recounted in "Black Hawk Down". I was amazed at what these brave men endure in order to do what our country asks of them. One thing that stuck out to me was the absolute certainty that after making it through SEAL training, you are somehow more than human. I wonder what that does to your psyche over time? It certainly was interesting to see how the author reacted when faced with his own mortality.
This is a quick read, and written with the pacing of a good Clancy novel. Good for the beach or the plane.
