[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3610872, member: 26737"] Another good read is Clint Romesha's [I]Red Platoon[/I], which is his accounting of the events surrounding the attack on Command Outpost Keating that culminated in Romesha being awarded the Medal of Honor. Jake Tapper's version was made into the movie [I]The Outpost[/I], but I'd rather read the version told by "the guy." It's not just his account of what Romesha did, but of the events that led up to the attack, what the rest of his platoon was doing, and even what was happening behind the scenes to keep them alive. It covers the F15 pilot who, after expending all of his ordinance, took over C&C of the air assets to coordinate the layers of airborne defense stack from the low-flying helicopter gunships up to the high-altitude B1 bomber, as well as the gunship pilot who figured out, based on damage to his bird, where the AA guns were hidden, and the B1 crew who knocked the hell out of the hills around COP Keating.
