Summary of Tony Brooks & Bob Welch's Leave No Man Behind - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was 18 years old, a freshman at the University of Arizona, when I decided to enlist in the military. I was shocked by the footage of the first Twin Tower collapsing, but it was an image within that image that gripped me deepest: the tiny speck of a human being plummeting fifty-plus stories to their death. #2 I wanted to join the military, but I was afraid of the risk.
I was a calculated and cautious person, and going off to war was a clear departure from that. #3 I had always been raised with a strong sense of integrity. I didn't care for hazing, and I knew my buddy had an early-morning ROTC event and couldn't afford to show up drunk as a skunk. I intervened and saved my buddy's butt. #4 I was a late bloomer, born on November 29, 1982. I was always a dreamer, and I was driven to succeed.
I was never particularly gifted physically, but I always found a way to go to the head of the class.
