NRA Life of Duty; Outlaw Platoon Pt III trailer
The folks at NRA’s Life of Duty sent us the their trailer for the third part of their long-anticipated full length feature of one of my favorite books of all time “Outlaw Platoon” written by former Lieutenant Sean Parnell and our buddy John Bruning.
In 2006 Lt. Sean Parnell and the men under his leadership, known as the Outlaw Platoon, deployed to one of the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan, less than 10 miles from the Pakistani border. Their mission was to disrupt and destroy this network at all costs – to seek out enemy positions and thwart the movement of insurgent forces into and out of the safe haven of Pakistan. After a year in some of the most intense combat imaginable in a 360-degree battlefield, the only thing Sean Parnell and his men wanted to do was survive.

Parnell & Bruning wrote a hell of a good book…did for Afghanistan what David Bellavia’s “House to House” did for Iraq in terms of the tactical look at life.
Parnell’s also a pretty fine hockey player, which makes him A-1 in my book.
I love this book. I have read it a few times. It is right up there with “House to House”.
Apparently #1 and I were typing at the same time with the same thought.
John Bruning also wrote House to House, which is how I know him.
I learned of him because I followed your “I recommend” link.
Excellent book!
