Special operations Quote by Andrew Warren

“He stumbled out from under the table, dropped to his knees, and clasped his hands over his head. He prayed that it was Rebecca and her Special Operations Group who had tracked him here. If that was the case, he might survive. And if it was option number two? Well, in that case, welcome to Vegas…” quote by Andrew Warren — Download Open image

““He stumbled out from under the table, dropped to his knees, and clasped his hands over his head. He prayed that it was Rebecca and her Special Operations Group who had tracked him here. If that was the case, he might survive. And if it was option number two? Well, in that case, welcome to Vegas, buddy. Because you’ve just been cashed out.””

For a brief second, they were…

“Zhengzhou East Station was one of the largest high-speed rail stations in the world. Its boarding platform was a vast, cavernous chamber of gleaming silver and white. A delicate latticework of metal beams crisscrossed high overhead beneath the high-domed ceiling. Caine knew those metal beams were studded with dozens of security cameras. As he meandered through the newsstands and food…

“He looked back at the stairs. The man he had stabbed wasn’t moving. His dark skin had taken on the gray pallor of death, and his clothes were soaked in a growing pool of blood. Using the pen’s glass breaker, Caine reached up and shattered the light bulb. The alcove was cloaked in darkness. Then he grabbed the man in…

“The man’s right hand drifted towards the waistband of his jeans. It was a slow, casual movement, but to Caine it was as obvious as a neon sign. The Chinese man shook his head “Meiyou yingwen. No English.” “Bullshit,” Caine snarled. “Catch!” Caine yanked his hand from his pocket as the Chinese man's pistol cleared his waistband. Before the man…

“All true, I suppose, but Caine is not the man you think he is. Do you have any idea how much blood is on his hands? How many lives Caine has ended? How many operations—black, unsanctioned, wet, whatever term you want to use—he has participated in?” “What are you talking about? I’ve debriefed plenty of operatives. He’s no different than—”…

“Military life and culture seem to be foreign territory for many of the people who write for national magazines and newspapers today. Every time they refer to Navy SEALs and other SOF outfits as "Special Forces," which only describes the Army's Green Berets, they reveal themselves to be as ignorant as someone who doesn't know, say, a Shia Muslim from…
