    I assume these two passed BUDS?

    I assume that foreign exchange soldiers have to go through BUDs and SQT and are then awarded the Trident?

    No they don't go through SQT,they are given the Trident as "honorary SEALs" they are not SEAL qualified,U.S. qualed anyway.

    SEALs have also gotten the insignia of people they train with oversees before as well,its kinda of respect thing.

    for all the info.

    I have been to the myspace of a SEAL who was in Delta platoon at team 3 with Monsoor and he was asked by another SEAL about this book and returned an explosive tangeant about how **** Couch is a such a douche and makes money of of SEALs. Also expressed how putting this pic of Monsoor on his cover didnt bode well with the men whom he fought with.....i was glad to read his comments since I from day one thought of Couch as a wolf in sheeps clothing. Just another guy whos trying to make for a more comfortable retirment. His book about SF training really scared the **** out of me until I got the feeling he wasnt too welcome at Bragg amongst the staff and some students. The two books mentioned here are prime examples why SEAL Team is despised by the majority of SOF people not in NSW. Alot of these guys need to shut the **** up and just be quiet and thankful they got to do a job most only dream of. I can only speak for me but if i wanted to go SEAL stuff like this would just turn me off. work in the shadows and leave in the shadows...public doesnt need to know **** unless a hero is lost. rant over...

    I'll wait until the books out before I pass judgment on it. Just because someone on the internet says the author is "duchy" doesn't really mean much.

    Sorry to interject, has anyone seen a better quality version of the pic on this book cover? It looks quite interesting but I've never seen it anywhere else, I'm thinking it may be part of a private collection but thought if it could be found anywhere it'd be here!
