"Silent Warrior" is stuff taken out of "93 Confirmed Kills..", so stated in the preface. This was done for marketing purposes. The publishers never thought the book would sell like it did. This was a blessing in disguise, as it allows us to learn about GSGT. Hathcock in the years following the first book, up until his death. If you like the first book, you'll like the second.
Mel Gibson is not exactly one of us. Somewhere around here I have the Playboy interview of him. His take on the RTKBA is (paraphrased)" yea, I guess so, we should be able to own them. The crooks will always be able to get them. So we should too."..."yea, I own a gun...but I don't keep it at home..(because of the kids)"
I don't call that kind of attitude as being 'One of Us.'
