Summary of Pete Hegseth's Modern Warriors - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 John Wayne Walding, a medic who was born in Texas, was medevaced in from Shok Valley, Afghanistan, after a horrendous firefight. He had a big problem: his leg was folded over, hanging by an inch of flesh. He had to fix it. #2 John Wayne Walding, founder of the Special Forces Sniper School, was also the first amputee to become a Green Beret sniper.
He served in the US Army for twelve years, seven of which he was a Green Beret and member of the 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. #3 John Wayne wanted to be better once again. He joined the army, and within thirty days, he had a selection date for the Green Berets. He was assigned to the 3rd Special Forces group, and was sent to Afghanistan on April 6, 2008, to kill or capture a high-value target named Haji Ghafour. #4 The mission was to capture a village that was built into the side of a mountain.
The terrain was so rough that the helicopters couldn't land, so the soldiers had to climb up to the village. Within the first five minutes, over the comms, I heard that C. K. , our lead interpreter, had taken a round in the throat and died on impact.
