I just finished my book I am a SEAL Team Six Warrior. I though that it was a very good book. At the end on the book Howard Wasdin the main person in the book. He went over to Somalia in 1992. He was in the Navy SEALs as a sniper. When he was there he was in a hideout looking for the local militia but, while he was there he keep smelling something funny so him and his team did a raid on a house and found a kid that had steeped on a land mine at school and had his leg blown off. So Howard and his team went  over there to help the kid by giving him medicine so the infection would go away. He later said in the book that his greatest success in Somalia was helping the kid rather than the mission on why they were there.
The U.S military was there to catch a Somalian war lord and help stop the civil war. All of the Marines, Delta , Rangers and the few SEALs were out on the raid to catch the war lord. During to raid two of the Amreicans helicopters were shot down and then sent out a large rescue party to get them. During this time Howard was shot 3 times and the leg and has to undergo a few sergies so he could keep his leg. He now works as a ciroprater.
