What does it take to become a Navy SEAL? What makes talented, intelligent young men volunteer for physical punishment, cold water, and days without sleep? In The Warrior Elite, former Navy SEAL Dick Couch documents the process that transforms young men into warriors. SEAL training is the distillation of the human spirit, a tradition-bound ordeal that seeks to find men with character, courage, and the burning desire to win at all costs, men who would rather die than quit.

Very engaging book about some of the toughest (mental and physical) military training one can go through. The book was well written and Betty hard to put down. I'll definitely read the follow up book to this one.

Enjoyed this a lot. Gives you a great insight to what it's like to train to become the world's greatest warrior. I can't imagine the pain, dedication, and motivation one goes through to get their seal trident. I'm intrigued to try it myself just to see how far I can push myself.
