On April 6th. 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant First Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-Team (call sign Roughneck Nine One), fought a vastly superior force at a remote crossroads near the village of Debecka, Iraq. The enemy unit had battle tanks and 150 well-trained, well-equipped and well-commanded soldiers. The Green Berets stopped the enemy advance then fought them until only a handful of Iraqi survivors finally fled the battlefield. In the process, the Nine One encountered hordes of news media and at the peak of the fight, a US Navy F-14 dropped a 500-pound bomb into the middle of a group of supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, killing and wounding dozens. Roughneck Nine One is the never-before-told, unsanitized story of the fight for the crossroads at Debecka, Iraq, and a unique inside look at a Special Forces A-team as it recruits and organizes, trains for combat, and eventually fights a battle against a huge opposing force in Iraq.… (mais)

A mediocre book about great people involved in important events. Basically, a brief intro to life in US Army Special Forces, with some about 1990s life and then a focus on ODA 391 and a few of their early Iraq war missions. The main focus is on tactical aspects of combat and grinding an axe against "MAJ X" (unnamed in the book, but not hard to identify) who appears to be a fucking piece of shit, at least based on the evidence provided in the book. The story of the battle is a fast read but not really particularly insightful.

There are only really 3 takeaways:
1) mountain/UW SF is less useful in a more conventional light infantry/raider mission than fully motorized SF

2) the Javelin is a good missile system, and the Dragon was so shitty that it poisoned the well for many

3) light units like SF are safer when on the attack/advance than when stuck in a static position. ( )

Authors do a good job describing the psychological stresses soldiers suffer waiting for permission to do their job. Also, how difficult it is to accept orders from superiors who don't support the troops or function well in combat situations. Planning, training, implementing, completing and recovering from a special operation are well defined and described. ( )

A first person account of green berets in action in Iraq in the early days of the war. ( )

Read this two years ago. One may argue with the reasons and confusion surrounding these wars, but the men who fight them are a special bunch. Physical bravery and a deep concern for others is a hallmark of them all. This is an amazing story, and a tragic one as well. ( )

A look at a battle in which Special Forces soldiers were outmanned 5-to-1 and still prevailed. Includes a nice opening section detailing the life and culture of the SF unit in question. ( )

On balance, Antenori's memoir offers a gritty inside look at a Special Forces team at war.
