In the spirit of broadening horizons and based on your affinity for the military I have to recommend 'Lone Survivor' by Marcus Luttrell. Another great read is 'The Education of Little Tree' By Forrest Carter...

"If ye don't know the past, then ye will not have a future. If ye don't know where your people have been, then ye won't know where your people are going." Little Tree
