This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I rate the book Service: A Navy Seal at War a four star. This book is a great example of why you should never feel sorry yourself because these Navy Seals go through so much by giving up themselves to protect this country. This is the first book I have ever read about war. This book can be sad and intense at times. This is a good book, but there are times where too much is going on and you lose track of what is happening.

This is a book written by Marcus Luttrell and he talks about all the training and war he has been through. He also talks about what it takes to commit to being a Navy Seal. One mission Marcus explained is the battle of Ramadi. Ramadi is a very dangerous city, and this is where the U.S. needs to take serious precaution before entering. Another intense mission that Marcus was on was Operation Red Wings, also known as the battle of Abbas Ghar. There are some tough challenges of being married to a member of a special ops team. Most of these marriages end up in divorces because the wives simply cannot handle their husbands being gone and constantly having anxiety about if they are alive or dead or if they are ever going to come home. In this book, Marcus explains brotherhood and how much teammates mean to each other.
There were a few inspiring characters in this book that really stood out to me, number one being Marcus Luttrell. Marcus has been through so much that nobody can relate. Marcus has inspired many because of his true grit. Marcus also has a great personality and really cares about his teammates. Mohammad Gulab is a perfect example of how everything is not about you. He sacrificed his future and was disowned by his family to save Marcus Luttrell who was only one of four Navy Seals still alive during the battle against the Taliban. Mohammad Gulab is hunted every day that he stays in his homeland because he saved a life of an American servicemen.
Overall, this book was entertaining and very interesting and had a lot of emotion in it. There were times in this book where the wars began to become repetitive and you start to lose track of what is happening. I would recommend this book especially to people that plan to join the Military or people that have already served. My only warning to the reader is that there are many curse words and some of the content can be gruesome.
