THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe only comprehensive, firsthand account of the fourteen-hour firefight at the Battle of Keating by Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha, for readers of Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden and Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. It doesn't get better. To us, that phrase nailed one of the essential truths, maybe even the essential truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so glaringly obvious to every soldier who had ever set foot in that place that the name itselfKeatinghad become a kind of backhanded joke. In 2009, Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost (COP) Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant smaller attacks, the Taliban finally decided to throw everything they had at Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battleand eventual victorycost eight men their lives. Red Platoon is the riveting firsthand account of the Battle of Keating, told by Romesha, who spearheaded both the defense of the outpost and the counterattack that drove the Taliban back beyond the wire and received the Medal of Honor for his actions.A vitally important story that needs to be understood by the public, and I cannot imagine an account that does it better justice that Romeshas.Sebastian Junger, journalist and authorofThe Perfect StormRed Platoonissure to become a classic of the genre.Hampton Sides, author ofGhost SoldiersandIn the Kingdom of Ice Military Daily News Militarycom Daily updates of everything that you need know about what is going on in the military community and abroad including military gear and equipment breaking news Vietnam War Stories Vietnam War Stories being a Narrative of the War Experiences of the First Platoon A Co 1/8 Cav First Air Cavalry Division 1967-1968 Contributors: Richard Lewis An Overlooked Hero of Navy SEALs' Operation Red Wings Kristensen was the one who organized a rescue mission after a SEAL reconnaissance team's leader Lt Michael Murphy called for help well into a firefight Alvin York - Wikipedia When William York died in November 1911 his son Alvin helped his mother raise his younger siblings Alvin was the oldest sibling still residing in the county since Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valor by Clinton Graduation Gifts for All Ages ; Now Trending: Everything Everything ; The Dark Prophecy: Now Available ; Top Picks for May ; Membership Gift Cards Stores & Events Help Wings of Valor - The Lost Battalion in the Argonne Forest For the Men on the Ground Erwin Bleckley & Harold Goettler and the Lost Battalion of WWI Like the knights of old the new Knights of the Skies were Villainous Valour - TV Tropes The Villainous Valour trope as used in popular culture This is one method for avoiding doldrums from having an Invincible Hero Scenes of Villainous Valor Richard Marcinko - Wikipedia Richard Marcinko; Nickname(s) "Dick" "Rogue Warrior" "Rick" "The Geek" "Demo Dick" Born November 21 1940 (age 76) Lansford Pennsylvania US Act of Valor (2012) - IMDb Directed by Mike McCoy Scott Waugh With Alex Veadov Roselyn Sanchez Nestor Serrano Rorke Denver An elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to Washington's Immortals: The Untold Story of an Elite Praise for Washingtons Immortals: Named one of the 100 Best American Revolution Books of All Time by the Journal of the American Revolution
