So it started suggesting something I did not know existed: SEAL-themed romance novels.

All of a sudden, my suggested reads are titles like "My Hot SEAL" and "Coronado Heartthrob"....

This is not the Navy's proudest moment.

Especially since I had to say, "At least the photo shows a woman, too..."
Lol, I see these kind of books for the dependas at the Px

And there's no shame in reading Inside Delta Force

Eventually McNab, "Nish" Bruce, Frank Collins, and others were allowed to write their novels. Now it looks like everyone has a publisher.

I've read and seen Bravo Two Zero a dozen times, the second time around I knew it was mostly fiction. How full of shit was Mitchell?
