Excerpt from @markowens No Easy Day: The Evolution of a Navy SEAL. Available on Amazon.com

Ray’s squadron had been in Afghanistan. His troop was assaulting a cluster of buildings behind a mud wall. Ray was one of the lead snipers and had climbed on top of a nearby building overlooking the compound where the Taliban commander was holed up, so that he could provide cover for the assaulters.

As Ray set up to cover the assaulters, he took each step with care. The door directly under Ray’s position was thrown open from the inside. Then the distinct shape of an RPG poked out.

The shock wave from the back blast created by the RPG was powerful enough to cause the mud roof to collapse. The middle of the roof opened like a giant mouth and swallowed Ray, dropping him in the middle of the house.

Ray landed on a heap of broken wooden beams and mud. He immediately saw five Taliban fighters through the dust cloud, holding AK- 47 assault rifles and wearing chest racks carrying extra magazines. A few were lying on the floor, stunned by the RPG’s back blast.

He spotted a window and crashed through it. I saw Ray fall out of the window in a heap, landing at the base of the wall. Ray yelled to his teammates, identifying himself as one of the good guys. He hoped his fellow assaulters would realize he wasn’t one of the Taliban.

The footage showed Ray rolling away from the window and calmly pulling out a grenade. Crouching under the lip of the windowsill, he tossed the grenade into the house. From the drone feed, I thought Ray looked calm.

All of his movements were smooth and fluid. He had a way of making something crazy look easy. Ray rolled away from the open window and dove for some cover. The grenade exploded and sent a cloud of debris out of the hole in the roof. Inside the house, the shrapnel cut down the fighters. @MarkOwenSeal #GlobalRecon #CombatStories #NavySEALs #Operators @defcon_1 @mitchell__mcalister
