I just finished a military thriller by William Christie, a former Marine officer, called "Threat Level."  It's about an attempt on the life of a high government official by Al Quaeda and the military special forces team and FBI agents who are trying to stop it.  
I was very impressed by the realism and the attention to detail in the book.  You could tell the author has a military background, and he knows his shit wrt firearms.  No stupid bungles like putting safeties on a Glock or such things.  Very good read.

I'll keep an eye out for it.  Try "The Pepperdogs" by Bing West

First In:  An Insider's Account of How the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan

One of the best books I have ever read.  Caused my opinion of the CIA to increase, but my opinion of the DOD to decrease, unfortunately.  Excellent, easy to read, very informative.

i'll be the first to reccomend lights out halffast...  what happens to the U.S. when EMP strikes?

If you are interested in the nuts and bolts of the Roman army, from the Republic through the Principate and Imperial  times, this is a damned good book. It mentions the various famous battles that every other book covers, but the focus is on the details of the changing gear, tactics, and day-to-day life of a Legionnaire, and the other nitty-gritty that most books gloss over, if they mention them at all.
