About this book

Book Summary

'Down range' is what SEALs in Afghanistan and Iraq call their area of operations. In this new mode of warfare, 'down range' can refer to anything from tracking roving bands of al-Qaeda on a remote mountain trail in Afghanistan to taking down an armed compound in Tikrit and rousting holdouts from Saddam Hussein’s regime....Dick Couch, himself a former Navy SEAL and CIA case officer, uses his unprecedented access to bring the reader firsthand accounts from the warriors in combat during key missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

ABSOLUTE MUST-READ
This is a close-up, inside look at the intensive training that our US Navy SEALS undergo continually to defend and ensure democracy. Please read for yourself to discover why we must hold our government leaders accountable and insist that they implement the necessary border security initiatives to protect us from (further immigration of) the highly trained Muslim terrorists known to already exist within US borders...
