I read his book immediately on its release, initially to see if I could glean any knowledge on long range shooting, then became caught up in the struggles that our warriors face.
He struggled with leaving the Seals, dealing with family life, and overcoming the difficulties that often befall those who see so much combat time. But the book pulled no punches, portraying him as he was, warts and all. He established a training business, and seemed to be making the shift to civilian life, while still keeping contacts in the military.
My take away from the book was that he was as LRRPF52 describes him, a good guy, like most of us who love our country.
We indeed lost a good one!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
