Wow! This book is a stinker! How did this get published? The plot is silly. The writer doesn't know anything about the U.S. military. And, he has this fixation on the Navy Seals -- unhealthy, filled with Seal recruiting poster stuff. Yo! Today's U.S. military also has long-range planes, missiles, fast deploying Army troops, and doesn't take orders from the National Security Advisor. But, his story forgets about these logical responses to story situations. The behavior and criminal stupidity of the author's protagonists insults all vets. These characters would have been fragged.
