Everyday Heroes: The American Fighting Man

Everyday Heroes: The American Fighting Man I found this translation from 2008 of an article written by a French soldier who served in Afghanistan with Americans. His observations and comments about American soldiers in combat are eye-opening and should make every American proud. Although I have no frame of reference to agree with the author […] Read more of this blog post »

Excellent!

This first book in the Susan Sorella series was well written. The author kept me wondering until the very end how he would conclude the legal case. Highly recommended!

Quotes by Joseph Badal  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The man mistook American patience and attempts at diplomacy for weakness.”
― Joseph Badal, Terror Cell

“Would he have had it any other way? No! At least not the journey. But maybe some of the stops along the way.”
― Joseph Badal, Evil Deeds

“would be surprised if they tried ramming a truck loaded with explosives into one of the Olympic venues. We’ve learned how to deal with that sort of attack. Remember the suicide attacker last year who went after the Turks’ building in Baghdad. All he did was ram into a concrete blockade, blow himself up, and shatter a lot of windows. Their methods are changing as we learn to counter them.”
― Joseph Badal, Terror Cell
