There are like 8 books so far. The first one was nonfiction but then the navy said no, so now they are fiction. Check em out in the book store. They are written by Richard Marcinko.

It wasn't exactly that, it was more of an autobiography, with stories from Vietnam.

I would never do that job. You need to be born with a special mentality to handle stresses way above the average Joe.

I seen on Military channel a real cool documentary on those guys. Nothing like "drowning" for practice or taking off your mask in a room full of gas. Im glad people volunteer for that so I can sleep nice and cozy and complain about my water bill in peace.

Do you even know the meaning behind the swatistika? It's actually a good meaning. It's just the nazis ruined it.

Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, the swastika was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards, coins, and buildings. During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II.
