Summary of dick couch's chosen soldier

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The Army Special Forces have a proud history of service to the nation. They were established in the mid-1700s, and their roots can be traced back to the mid-1960s. They were formed to fight the Vietcong in Vietnam, and they had to manage the tension between the small contingent of the Vietnamese army and the Montagnards.#2 The work of modern Special Forces is a classic example of how war is never inexpensive. When compared to the cost of a twelve-man Special Forces team and their indigenous force, which is usually supplied with obsolete weapons and dated surplus field equipment, it becomes clear that Special Forces are a cheap way to wage war.#3 The American Revolution was a war of independence against England, and Francis Marion, known as the Swamp Fox, built on the special operations legacy of Robert Rogers. In the Civil War, Colonel John Mosby formed a band of volunteers that conducted slashing, behind-the-lines actions against Union supply lines.#4 The German army was a highly professional force that conducted many special operations. The most famous German commando action took place on 12 September 1943, when Otto Skorzeny rescued Benito Mussolini from the Campo Imperatore Hotel on top of Gran Sasso mountain.
