[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3824894, member: 26737"] I've mentioned, but I don't remember if I've actually recommended, Ric Prado's [I]Black Ops[/I], his autobiography. It begins with his childhood in pre-Castro Cuba, covering his experiences during the revolution and escape to the US, his teenage years on the fringe of criminal activities, then moves on to his time as a PJ, and finally to the bulk of his career in the CIA's ground branch. He conducted covert operations with the Contras in Honduras and Nicaragua, as well as paramilitary operations in the Philippines, and covert operations in an unnamed African country, eventually rising to the equivalent of a Major General in the CIA's command structure. If you want a taste of what's in his book, watch/listen to this episode of Jack Carr's [I]Danger Close[/I] podcast with Ric. Unlike our [USER=8854]@RickN[/USER] , this one wont require any eye bleach. :D [MEDIA=youtube]j3wMkzq8oqg[/MEDIA] ETA: I particularly liked his descriptions of dealing with the Norks (especially the ones he burned), and his description of Diane Feinstein's inability to understand that what she wanted the CIA to do was an act of war was just mind-boggling.
