I was reading the parts about “Super Spook!” lol And I was thinking to myself, Hum? “ I think I've met some people like them!” I like your particular writing style. “ Dave H. “I was researching Ft Holabird when I came across part of your memoirs. Great reading...my ass is supposed to be house-husbanding & taking care of the dogs & cats while my wife is attending nursing classes...well I guess spending the afternoon reading your memoirs are worth an ass-chewing.”, Daniel M. “Ran across a couple of your chapters years ago, but for some reason never found your website until this week. Love it, you really capture the esprit de corps serving in SF was all about.”, H.C.S. “My wife’s in Reno visiting her mother. I’m supposed to be working on an exam for the State. Instead, I’m too caught up in your story. Thanks for all that you did.” Jim. F. “Top; I just finished reading your story and I had to tell you that I think that you are a very good writer. Your style of writing kept me attentive from the first paragraph.”, Bob W. “Kudos to you for Strap Hanger, and for saying it in common language of the common soldier. I called my style a barrack philosopher style, but never equaled your style of common language in a clear and concise manner. Enjoyed your writing. Congratulations on a job well done.”, Ron A.

Valuable Read for anyone interested in SF in Vietnam By Fabio Mann Detailed but modest remembrances by the author of an incredible and challenging period in American History. Too bad that most people don't read anymore. This should be required study for anyone who has even the most basic political aspirations. Until we start sending our politicians to war FIRST, American Warriors will always struggle, fight, and sometimes die while handicapped with "terms of engagement..." As evidenced by our most recent conflicts, our "elected" politicians and their appointees will find new ways of snatching defeat from victory. However Mr. Valentine demonstrates that even through "the Fog of War," America's elite warrior has no equal in combat. Mr. Valentine's straight forward but simple writing style creates a matter-of-fact ambiance throughout his personal account. He actually enhances the reader's experience with his tone, in no way diminishing the importance of the events, but rather allows his narrative style to draw the reader even closer to the action and drama, all of which is exemplified by the veracity and accuracy of his personal memoir. I would love to read more from Mr. Valentine, and I thank him for his service.

Being a Vietnam vet myself, I like to follow the newer books and see how the other guys had it. This one is among the top 2 - 3 that I have read. MSgt Valentine has managed to bring the reader along on his personal and extensive military experience. As they say, in the mud and the blood and the beer. An easy read; one can appreciate why an American Green Beret is a special person as well as a special soldier.

A real book written by a real Warrior By Doub51 This book felt very much like you're sitting around a kitchen table after a great home cooked meal, and your Dad's friend is relating some stories about his life in the Military. Has a home spun feel to it, easy to read, very insightful. no Rambo guts and glory stuff. Has a few opinions on the way some things in the military are run, and some opinions on govt, women that some might get offended by. Maybe. Honestly, no worse than a friend having a different opinion than you on a subject. His opinion, he lived it and has a right too say it.If you are interested in a story on someone's life of 20 or so years in the military, pre Vietnam to almost the end of Vietnam, you would be hard pressed to read anything better.Don is certainly someone I would like to meet and talk with over a few adult beverages. The time would fly.Just like the pages in this book.
