The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family--because the child wasn't willing to fight for them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRestraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield--and even rarer in today's national political discourse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U.S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After twenty-seven years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most--probably all--of his colleagues in politics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Waltz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250286182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250286185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Waltz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897722855679,"sku":"9781250286185","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6771eab-d28a-4948-aa2d-d6e08ef9dd69.jpg?v=1721374586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-truths-michael-waltz-9781250286185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
