When I was at ASU, my boss told me how he was a super cocky guy, but then again most ASU jocks were. I also went to school with James Harden. That guy could ball! I just wish he hadn't left after sophomore year to OKC.
Check out Where Men Win Glory. It's a good book Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman https://www.amazon.com/dp/030738604X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_uPC3AbBCFP55Z
Give "Inside Delta Force" a read! A fairly significant portion of the book covers selection. Mainly consists of pointing to a map, "Where are you? Where are you supposed to go? Get after it, Have a good'n."
Pretty fascinating stuff, and it's a very quick read. I finished it in an afternoon, couldn't put it down.
It is definitely a biased account but it's very digestible, if you want something with more depth but a lot harder to get through check out this. One of the problem's was the British army is too proud of their Northern Ireland performance and tried to directly transfer those skills to Iraq/Afghan without adjusting for local factors.
There is a good book about him. Slightly heavy on religion for my taste, but good nevertheless.
No Way Out does a great job detailing what a shitshow that Shok Valley op was.
yep cia bob and the sbs ,read all about what they were upto in this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bloody-Heroes-Damien-Lewis/dp/0099481952/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4NPHR1P0I489&keywords=bloody+heroes&qid=1555076490&s=gateway&sprefix=bloody+her%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1
Not quite as bad, Germans were making "tractors" with cannons and French and British arms inspectors gave it a pass. See http://www.amazon.com/dp/0316529400

NK has changed a lot. People understand that they are left behind.
wowwwww I knew this looked familiar. They used this picture for an old book I had that was supposed to be the journal of a marine named Patrick Seamus Flaherty.....weird.
Here it is:

There is debate on that. Would the Russians have been too exhausted from the push West with supply lines stretched thin, or would their numbers and, at the time of mid-1945, superior tanks repel the attack and keep going West. I believe the first one, but here's a book with more details. http://www.amazon.com/Red-Inferno-1945-A-Novel/dp/0345506065
None Braver is a good book!

About PJ's in Afghanistan
Battle for Hue: Tet offensive 1968
Reading Antony Beever's Berlin he states that Russian tanks would regularly drive through columns of fleeing German civilian refugees. Not entirely surprising considering the hatred they had for the Germans, following the nature of the war on the Eastern Front, but crimes nonetheless.
Many military trained state-run intelligence muscle were like that. Look up the latest copy of Gideon's Spies to read the reported shit that went on between Israeli Mossad and People's Republic of China's Ministry of State Security during the 2000s economic assistance to African nations. What they did to each other was extremely fucked up (i.e. blow up most of an occupied hotel to kill one agent, toss an opposite agency agent alive to the crocodiles in response to that incident). Most agencies kind of do that shit and, in a way, keep each other in check because of it.
And then read Storm of Steel by Jünger.
From the top-rated review at amazon:
"Storm" has been continually denounced for the last 80-odd years as rightist propaganda precisely because it does NOT come to the conclusion of Remarque, Hemingway, P.J. Caputo or any of the other combat literati who escaped their own slaughterous wartime experiences to write antiwar novels. It says -- if I may presume to paraphrase Juenger -- that war destroys civilian hypocrisy and, if it makes a man's boot come down grimly and harshly, at least makes it come down clean. Juenger's unforgivable sin was, apparently, to conclude that it "was a good and strenuous life, and that war, for all its destructiveness, was an incomparable schooling of the heart."
