"Level Zero Heroes proves that great warriors aren''t minted from any one branch of service. Michael''s story is a testament to the hard men of MARSOC who have contributed significantly both on and off the battlefield since the attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001. Semper Fi brothers." --Brandon Webb, former Navy SEAL, Editor of SOFREP, and New York Times bestselling author of The Red Circle "''A warning shot with a B-1''-- A direct quote taken out of Level Zero Heroes that has more precision than the author possibly could ever imagine. Golembesky and Bruning took a real world account of some of America''s best and brightest and wrote a story that will capture the mind of any military enthusiast. From the expeditious bond of brotherhood to the horrors of poor Rules of Engagement to the appreciation of a select group of Afghan intelligence officials, this book covers so much more than a mere deployment in Afghanistan. A B-1 doesn''t do warning shots, it blows things to smithereens.
