Lone Survivor #4

Marcus Luttrell was the main character in this book and he is also the one telling the story, he is the author. Marcus Luttrell is talking about his experiences over in the Middle East in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq. Marcus Luttrell goes into some detail of a couple different missions that he went on while in the Middle East and I remember him writing first about a mission that him and his fellow Navy Seals went on in Iraq. He talks about the horrors they saw and how that he had to always be on guard. He specifically said at a couple different points in the book that he had to start thinking and fighting like the terrorists. Marcus Luttrell said he had to do this just so that he and the other Navy Seals could stay alive. His brothers, the other Navy Seals, also started to think and act like the terrorists to stay alive. It amazes me how he describes the bad situation in these places and makes you feel like you are almost there. Marcus Luttrell does a great job describing the early missions that him and his teammates went on before the main mission that this book is based on. I think that it really opened up the fact that the reader was going to hear some bad stories and have some bad thoughts and mental pictures, but also that at the same time the reader would feel other good feelings about the book such as pride in your country, maybe even safe at home and even thankful for our situation living in the United States of America. It did that for me at least, while reading this I felt extreme amounts of pride in my country and really makes me feel like we are the best country in the world. I realized how safe it is here in America and that is contributed to the brave men and women that put their lives in danger so that we can be safe and live in a safe and great country. I strongly believe that anyone in our country that read this book would feel pride and would have a stronger sense of security. After talking about the missions in the beginning of the book he started to go into the big mission and also the tragic mission in which he lost his brothers. The reader pretty much knows from the beginning of the book what is going to happen to the men and that all but one of them is going to be killed. Actually, you can assume that before you even open the book just by the title of the book.
