5 stars (Mr. Grossman has done it again!!!!!!!!!!) - Out of all the training manuals and books that we have to read as Marines, this book has more facts and "what to expect" in a combat environment than any of them I have read. Just this past Feb/March, I returned home from Fallujah, Iraq where I was with RCT-1. We killed 2500 terrorists and lost 115 Marines in the 7 months I was there. Knowing everything I learned from that experience, I could not give even half the information he has provided in this book. I have read all of Mr. Grossman's book and watched all of his tapes, I CANNOT say enough great things about them. They are packed with information and knowledge that ALL law enforcement, military, security personnel, and parents should read!!! Great Book!!!!! 5 stars (Warrior psychology) - As a military man who has seen combat and as a former police officer facing stress on the streets due to life and death situations, there is much we can do to mentally prepare ourselves. This book brings to light experiences in "combat-type stress" which can aide in understanding and give assistance to handle the fear/guilt/stress of having to deal with killing/survival actions. I recommend this book for any and all military personnel; And this book should be manditory reading in all police academies. This book points out the need for more study in this field. 5 stars (Live saver) - without this book, many Soldiers inculding myself would not recover from our experiences, Read it, really read it and it will explain things you otherwise would not understand, Thanks! ...
