The Warrior Elite by Dick Couch
With a postscript describing SEAL efforts in Afghanistan, The Warrior Elite takes you into the toughest, longest, and most relentless militarytraining in the world.
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.
In Vietnam, DICK COUCH served as a Surface Warfare Officer and SEAL Platoon Commander after graduating from the Naval Academy in 1967. Dick has had a particular relationship with the US Special Operations Command, which has allowed him to photograph the special operations training facilities used by SEALs, Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Rangers, and Marines. Tom Clancy's Op-Center series has him as a co-author. He taught ethics at the United States Naval Academy and is frequently called upon to speak on questions of character, moral battlefield conduct, and the training and deployment of American military special operations units. He and his wife Julia live in central Idaho.
