The story of ODA 574 as told by Eric Blehm in his new book “The Only Thing Worth Dying For” was brought to my attention this morning. It is a truly remarkable story of how 11 green berets changed the course of history in Afghanistan, standing beside an unknown warlord by the name of Hamid Karzai and defeating 1000 Taliban who had come to kill him. I will be picking it up tonight, and I hope you consider doing the same.
