Ep. 296 - Nick "The Reaper" Irving, Army sniper

It is safe to call former Army Ranger sniper Nick Irving a very busy man.  He in fact has another book hitting shelves next year co-authored by former Army General and fiction writer A.J. Tata who's joined us before on SOFREP Radio.  "Reaper: Ghost Target" is set to be the first in a series of sniper novels based around protagonist Vick Harwood who may (or my not) be based around a certain sniper you're all familiar with.  Nick also tells us the future of The Reaper TV series we first heard about a couple of years back, and last year learned would be produced by Jay-Z.  You will not want to miss this exclusive announcement he shares with our audience. Nick also dives into sniper mentality, Ranger stories, and putting the past away to start anew.  We also cover some hard-hitting stories in the spec ops world including the killing of Green Beret Staff Sgt. Logan J. Melgar allegedly by two suspected members of SEAL Team 6, as well as the story of Astafa al-Imam, one of the alleged perpetrators of the attack on the Benghazi consulate being captured by U.S. special operations forces and FBI agents in Libya.  Wrapping things up, we give a Jack Murphy approved Throat Punch of the Week.
