Acerca de esta escucha

A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of US Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men.

Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders, these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home.

A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Major Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty, and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years.

God Bless our Troops

As a USAF vet of 7 years; 30 years as a Contractor and Gov't employee; in every conflict from 1986 other than Somalia, as aviation support; an Uncle to a Marine, I cannot express my deep respect and admiration for this group of team-mates and this Leader of Men.
I am ashamed of how you and your men were treated and now that I've heard your story I am proud to sY I'd stand by y'all even in a foxhole. May God watch over you all, and the Holy Spirit guide you in the future. Thank you for your service, thank you for being on our side!

Semper Fi, God's Blessings,

Boomer

Mis-titled; Should have been "Quite a few bad men"

It's not a few bad men, but the fact that the upper reaches of the Marines are mostly populated by bad men, a problem not unique to just the Marines but all the service branches. I've long heard that to reach colonel means becoming a politician (i.e., acquiring the ethics of politicians). The whole Military Industrial Complex has become corrupt to its core. This book illustrates this clearly. Few of the bad actors have suffered from their crimes, and many have greatly benefited. This should make everyone sick.

A sad but necessary tale of betrayal

As a patriot, I’d love to believe our military leaders value our service men and women above petty politics and against enemies known to be hostile to America. Sadly, in many cases the battle has become more about political correctness than sovereign service. This is one such story. Well written and well narrated, it’s a book that will make you loathe some of our military leadership and more greatly appreciate the troops. God bless you Major Galvin for making this story public.

Unfair treatment

Very informative and eye opening. My father and both my brothers were Marines. We should not treat our service members the way the members of Fox Comp. were treated. The sacrifice that these brave men and women is unmeasurable and they are not compensated fairly for their service. This is definitely a must read.

Incompetent brass

Awesome book. Sad to see how our boys were left to hang and our brass brought the rope even though they knew the Marines in question were in the right.

Shame on my Marine Corp.

It breaks my heart that these officers and men were hung out to the slaughter. The only contact I had with recon was at Ona Point in Okinawa. I crewed a Huey they were jumping out of. Then Captain Fox a Medal of Honor winner jumped every cycle. The upper echelon of Marine leaders were idealistic,valueless self centered bastards that did not take care of their Marines. The book more than illustrated how a fish can rot from the head. Worth the read it seems the Marine Corps . Has followed the lead of our nation bend with the wind, take no stance it’s all about me.

Fantastic account of Marines abandoned by Brass

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and thankful Major Galvin brought this tragic abandonment of Marines by Marines to light. I still have a hard time believing how the top heavy system of careerist generals and subordinates let our Marines down. I expect that from the Army towards Marines because they usually don't get it anyway, but to have our own Marine Officers betray and desert Marines doing what they are trained to do is disgusting. I fear this is "the new normal" for todays armed services and its a shame. Don't miss this book.

Great Behind The Scenes Look at Politics In The Marine Corps

I’ve never listened to an Audio Book from beginning to end. The story is so well presented. It keeps you engaged and it’s absolutely disgusting the devastating politics and power held at the Star level. The jockeying for rank at anyone’s cost. Glad to hear the whole story. Semper Fi Major Galvin. The Marine Corps needs more senior officers in their ranks like you!

Great storyteller

I am impress by the author honesty.
As a US Marines NCO I understand where he is coming from in regard to no accountability when it comes to officers.
