Objective Summary
In the second section of Don Mann's Inside SEAL Team Six, Don stresses how important it is for the SEALs to stick together and work as a team. As the SEAL team encounters tough obstacles physically and mentally the only way to overcome the challenges is to work as a team. Don Mann informs the reader that these Navy SEALs get placed in some crazy situations. In the second section of the book Don tells some of his tales of the more dangerous missions where if one thing goes wrong their lives are all at risk. Don Emphasizes the importance of just being smart. These Navy SEALs can not risk any mistakes because of the importance and anger of their missions. Through all the craziness during their missions they train nonstop while not in combat. These men train as a team, live as a team, and fight as a team. Don implies that these men must be as close as brothers, because these are the men that will be guarding each others lives for as long as they are a Navy SEAL.

The Navy SEAL team from "Operation Red Wings" which the movie The Lone Survivor was based on.

Essential Question
Our groups essential question is, "Should the United States have gone into Iraq"? 

Some U.S. Army soldier in Iraq.

The United States should not have invaded Iraq, because public opinion did not support it. If the people of America do not think it is the right thing to do then the Army should take that into consideration. By invading Iraq it puts the United States, and all of its citizens in danger. The American people did not think it was a good idea; they were scared. The Army should be focussed on protecting the American people. If they put us in danger, they aren't doing their job.
