Right now, I'm reading the "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell. Luttrell is a Navy Seal who wrote about their Mission in Northern Afghanistan to find, kill a notorious Al-Qaeda leader. In less than 24 hours, all of his teammates are dead. He wrote the book in honor of his lost team memebers. So far, it's a pretty good read.
Whats interesting is, he was given a dog (yellow lab) as part of his rehabilitation when he returned home to Texas. A group of punks entered his property in the middle of the night just recently, and shot his dog for no reason. Marcus doesn't sleep at night, heard the shots, grabbed his gun, and went after them. He belly crawled along the treeline, and into a ditch where they were. They jumped in a car, and took off. He chased them through 4 counties while on the phone with police, who finally caught them. While they were taking the thugs away, one of them said that he better watch it, they will come back for him, and that he doesn't know who he is messing with. I found that funny, and stupid because these punks have no idea who they were messing with, and lucky, he did not torture, and kill them.
Here is the video of Marcus describing the situation about his dog. I hope the punks that did this get the maximum sentence.
