Richard Marcinko
For those of you who don't know, Richard Marcinko is the founder of
SEAL Team Six, the Navy's elite counter-terrorist unit. He also
created Red Cell, a small unit designed to test Military Bases'
security. He has been called such names as "Demo Dick" Marcinko
and "Shark Man of the Delta." He was in a UDT team, and then SEAL
Team Two in Vietnam. He took command of Two, and was then relieved
to form Six. Marcinko then recieved orders to form Red Cell, and
afterwards retired from the Navy. He spent 21 months in prison,
during which he wrote Rougue Warrior. Marcinko
said something (in one of his books) that probably represents all SEAL Team members, and
slightly explains why I would like to be a SEAL:
...Men volunteer for Delta Force or SEAL Team Six because they want to
do things no one else has ever done. They do not volunteer for medals
or glory or attaboys. They volunteer because they want to push
themselves beyond any range of experiances they've know before -- and
either succeed or die trying. That is not hyperbole. That is simple
fact.
Many people think Marcinko is just a big, bad, BS'n bafoon, but I
like his books. A lot of the SEALs I talk to dispize him, but he was
probably a helluva operator. Read the Rogue Warrior series. They're purty good.
