Summary of Fred Galvin & Sal Manna's A Few Bad Men

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had been the commander of Fox Company, the first Marine Special Operations Company in the Corps’ 230-year history. I had led my men on what was supposed to be just another day and another routine mission. But on that day, Fox Company was ambushed.

#2 In a press conference two months after the incident, Colonel John W. Nicholson said: I stand before you today, deeply, deeply ashamed and terribly sorry that Americans have killed and wounded innocent Afghan people. We are filled with grief and sadness at the death of any Afghan, but the death and wounding of innocent Afghans at the hands of Americans is a stain on our honor.

#3 The two highest-ranking Marines had proclaimed us guilty, either of negligent homicide or dereliction of duty. We were front page news.

#4 American troops opened fire on a highway filled with civilian cars and bystanders in eastern Afghanistan, killing 16 civilians and wounding 24, according to American and Afghan officials.
