Horse Soldiers - Book Review

Read this.
It's the story of Special Forces Teams heading into Afghanistan right after 9/11 to kick the snot out of the Taliban. Poor guys. We have the best technology in the world and couldn't support them well. Those big studly fellas ended up riding small mountain ponies, some had never been on a horse before. Hence, the title. But they could call in heavy air support!

Wonderful story written like an adventure novel, not dry history. Yet, there is humor, cheering, and tears. Sometimes reality sucks.
Highly recommended.
