Today I read about this mission brandon went on and how he had one of the biggest terists takedowns ever. He talked about how the found 400 pounds of ammunition as well as documents with planned attacks on the united states.

As the book is wrapping up brandon talks a little about his life now and how the different expericness and ineactions have overall made him a better person for not only himself but others around including his family. He is very thankful for the military and what they have done for him in his years.

Today I read about the valley that was a key turning point in the fight and how they set up to take advantage over the taliban. What was key about the valley was you could see both of the bases and was a key advantage and fighting place. He talked about an encounter with them and how when he saw them they all dropped there RPG and ran.

Today I read about a prior mission they took to Iraq and how they had intel that al Queda was planning an attack on the united states. This intel was buried into a cave and they found the cave with pictures hung of new york and newspapers of new york dated back to when the twin towers were created. Although they weren't sure at the time what they were planning obviously we know what happened

Today, I got left on a cliffhanger. They had a plan to invade the largest al-Qaeda base where it was said that osama bin Laden planned to attack the United States. Although they had a plan to attack and recover information, the chapter left me on a cliff hanger, almost as if the plan didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped. The last sentence was "Or at least that was the plan."

Today I read about a mission they went on during Christmas, and they were driving around Pakistan and drove over a landmine. When they hit the landmine, their car fortunately did not explode. Brandon describes it as one of his most traumatic experiences because every time he drives now, he can't help but think about it.
