You do whatsapp or social media.
Paronto was in one of the Bats after I left (right after Mogadishu when I got promoted to O-3), I know a few people who knew him when he was a team leader there (E-5), but never met him in person. He was just an ordinary Sargent, not outstanding and not horrible, at least that is what people have told me.
He's made a nice living as a right-wing pundit. I read his book "The Ranger Way..." It was really easy to read, gets to the point... but honestly it's just a rehash of the Ranger Creed,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_Creed There are a lot of life lessons you can learn from this.
It would have been better if it wasn't so political, but that was his target audience so I get why he wrote that book the way he did. The simple truth is that soldiers in the field really don't give a fvck about politics. Yeah we get ticked when we get sent into stupid situations by political leadership, but that happens no matter if it's a Republican or Democrat as a Commander and Chief. I've been in just as many stupid situations with Clinton as Bush I or II.
In combat you really don't care about politics, all you care about is the guy on your right or left and staying alive. Heck as a an officer, every time I found myself on the 'two way range' I was more afraid of making a bad decision that got people killed for no purpose or freezing up than ANYTHING else.
