ARC from Net Galley

5 stars for content although me-thinks the author is a bit of a 'SEAL hater' and perhaps military hater in general? Still a good book that fails to focus (in my opinion) on what killed the SEALS, fame and glory. What bullets and bombs in multiple theaters could not do, publicity achieved; it kills most of us regardless of training or walk of life.

Matthew Cole takes his years of experience reporting little-known conflicts in the "War on Terror" and covers the most famous "Secret Military Unit in America" S.E.A.L. Team Six, or as it is officially known in Navy parlance DEVGRU. The Murder of Green Beret Staff Sargeant Logan Melgar in Mali by members of Seal Team Six as well as Marine Raiders clearly shows that when a military unit is seen to be untouchable and heroic no good thing can come of it. Many within the nation as well as the military community will say that this is not an example or the standard for our military but that is little comfort to the memory of Staff Sargeant Logan Melgar or his family.
