[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3814513, member: 26737"] I just finished Tim Kennedy's memoir, [I]Scars and Stripes, [/I]co-written with Nick Palmisciano (co-founder of Ranger Up). It's kind of a raw, no-holds-barred look at his life, up to and including his time on the ground rescuing (or attempting to rescue) US citizens in Afghanistan during Biden's Bungle. Some of it, like the time he was working with DeliverFund to bust a bunch of human traffickers in Houston, only to have the rug pulled out at the eleventh hour by higher-ups in Houston city gov't because "there's no human trafficking in Houston," is hard to read, but it's a heck of a story. I'm currently working on [I]The Coddling Of the American Mind[/I] by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff. Lukianoff is a founder of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (formerly the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education). Here's the summary from the Audible version: It's a fascinating book, and it really does a great job of explaining a lot of what's happening today with cancel culture (from both the left and right).
