The Top Secret Seal Team Six Story

Okay, so what am I doing reading "Seal Team Six,Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper," by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin? Normally I do not read current military books, but after Seal Team Six successfully tracked down and killed Osama bin Laden, I was curious about what sort of training these highly skilled Navy Seals have. Turns out to qualify for the Navy's best of the best, you have to be something just shy of Superman, able to hold and control your breath under water, run obstacle courses that even Iron Man competitors fail, and have a developed sixth sense about the enemy targets that borders on the paranormal. Former Seal Team Six member Wasdin relates how he managed to do all this, and utilize them on acquiring and eliminating targets pre-picked by the CIA under the White House leaders' direction.
Wasdin says the easiest part of the training for him was the obstacle course and the hardest part was the shooting range practicing close-quarters combat. He said during these training exercises, "Seal Team Six alone spent more money just on 9mm ammunition than the entire Marine Corps spent on all its ammunition."
Seal Team Six members aren't all about killing enemies: Wasdin said in Somalia he and others helped a young Somali boy get medical treatment for infections which set in after a Somali bomb took off his feet and part of one leg. To accomplish this, they had to set up a "hard entry" into the boy's home the first few times, but when the family saw they were caring for their son, they lost their fear and gratefully accepted the help.
In short, though trained to be killing machines, Seal Team Six members are in the end human just like you and me. But when they have a job to do, they do it exceedingly well.
