Jon & I just finished our second tactical shooting class at Asymmetric Solutions. We are beyond exhausted, but it was amazing training. Learning so much for both real life situations & my fictional ones. Hands on research is always different than I think it will be & it changes what I write in ways I never imagine until I'm there, doing it. No amount of books, or articles can teach me what I learn from using a weapon for real, or as real as I can get as a civilian. Now, for showers & early bed. My hat's off to all our men and women in the Armed Forces who do this every day & in heat that makes Missouri seem cool & pleasant. You guys are bad ass, I just write this stuff.

Even if they did the stuff you describe, it still wasn't anything like what real soldiers go through even in training, let alone in a situation like in Afghanistan.
