Book Log #1

American Sniper, a story told for one of the most known snipers in the Army. Chris Kyle the sniper that rose above all ranks in the system to distinguished himself as the best. This book setting is set during training, or boot camp for snipers, Kyle explained what it was like to have gone through all of the work and what it took to get to be where he is at. Kyle had spent multiple years studying during and before the camp, needing to know how to determine where to aim if winds are at such and such speeds. Every member has a spotter who basically does all that for them, but he doesn't do it for them, they are given coordinates to hit the target they are aiming for. American Sniper explains what it is also like to be on the front lines where you have many lives counting on you to get your role done and not mess up. Being on the front lines from Kyle's view was worse then what he had predicted it to be, not only was his first mission he was sent on nerve racking due to high priorities he needed to accomplished he has never shot and killed as many Iraq soldiers as he thought he would have needed to. But from what all Kyle had achieved he was sent on multiple missions after the first. Kyle had eventually obtained multiple badges for his hard work he had done. In the long run this book is very interesting to me, I enjoy the Army, anything about guns basically, would I recommend this book? Yes, if you enjoy intense action and some background knowledge on what it takes to do what he does this book will most likely suit your needs.
