After reading up to page number fifty three in the book Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell I feel that this book is very interesting. So far Marcus has to me about where he is located, Middle East, Precisely Afghanistan to be exact, what he is doing there, fighting the Middle Eastern, trying to gain Intel of the whereabouts Taliban fighters and al-Qaeda which by the way means the base. Also he has told me his listing in the army, a U.S. Navy SEAL and what his home life has been like. Marcus grew up in the dry southern state of Texas living with his parents David and Holly Luttrell and along with his twin brother Morgan Luttrell. Marcus was always called the baby of the family but he didn’t get why because his twin Morgan was only seven minutes older than he was. Marcus and his family grew up on a ranch and his dad taught him some very valued survival skills, while his mom was raising horses to be the finest they could be. She could take a horse that is sick or old and run down and turn it into a prime race or work horse. People would say that they thought she was a horse whisperer or something. The Luttrell family business had its ups and downs but had it peak in around the period of the oil peak, 1973-1985. Marcus was the first of the sons to join the seals but Morgan still calls him the baby. At this point in the book Marcus and his SEAL (sea air and land) Recon team was in a C-130 cargo plane heading towards Afghanistan, neutral airspace. Marcus always felt sick flying over the hostile territory of hiding spots for Taliban and al-Qaeda, even though he was 9 miles above them he still felt sick to his stomach. At the point I am at the recon team just got into neutral airspace and are about to land at the military base.
