Honor; Duty; Country ...

I believe the following quote best speaks to Carlos Hathcock; the Marine; the man.
" The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through like without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our calculation; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor".

I felt compelled to write the above after reading the dual 1-star posts from "a reader" who basically called Mr. Hathcock a liar, fraud and phony.
He starts out with one line of praise then basically says Mr. Hathcock was a phony and his story a con job.
Of course he offers no facts or evidence to support his claims.
Just another who disrespects and spits on those who have served; are serving and will serve.
He should be ashamed.
You sir/"a reader", will never walk among the ranks of honor.

Excellent book!

Re-purchased this book to replace the one that I lent out but never got back. A most invigorating read, along with Marine Sniper--by the same author.

MUST-READ if you're into war stories/military

I had already read 93 Confirmed Kills by the same author & really liked that. I understand that military stories is a very specialized niche, but if you're into them, this was well written. I was never in the military but have always been completely fascinated by all of it. I went into this book, Silent Warrior, already biased towards the story & the author & I wasn't let down.
