Loner Survivor #5

Marcus Lutrell did a great job telling this story. I have read some posts on the internet bashing this book and saying that he lied about a lot of this and everything, and I have been left with disbelief after reading some of this. This man is a hero, he put his life on the line for his country and went through some terrible things for us. I am able to sit here and write this blog tonight without having to be worried about being harmed in any way. He is a hero and there are still people from our own country that are bashing on him and trying to prove this story wrong. That is terrible in my opinion and I can not seem to understand why people are like that. You would think that these people would be thankful and would be writing good things about him and talking about how he is such a hero because he is doing something that I could guarantee these people writing things about him on the internet would never be brave enough to do themselves. I know they are entitled to their own opinion but I can not grasp how someone could act like that. That's the problem with the country today. Many people do not realize how lucky they are to live in the United States of America and they just take it all for granted. One day in the shoes of Marcus Luttrell or any of his Navy Seal team mates and I know that it would make these people think twice before posting things bashing on this book and on him. I would say Marcus Luttrell is one of the most respectable men in this country, along with any other man or woman serving in our military. People just take advantage of having people that would be willing to lay down their lives for our country and for people here in the United States. That just leads to another thing that I hear, nowadays many people that see a man or woman in uniform out in public would not just go up and say thank you to these people. Many times if I see anyone go up and thank this person it is usually an older person. I feel that there is not enough pride in our country anymore. People definitely do not love our country enough. Maybe if more people had such a great and strong love for our country then our country would be doing a lot better. I truly believe that anyone that wants to live here should love our country and have pride in our flag and country.
