  1. Thank You Sean, for your service to our Great Country! I Hope you win your quest for Republican Senator of Pa. I think you would represent your State and our Country, greatly. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Love your dog and your beautiful children! Glad You are a Republican. These Democrats drive me crazy! GOD BLESS AMERICA! MILLIE

    • Millie, while I commend Mr. Parnell on his service to the country, I cannot commend him on his political stance. Being a white male, he knows nothing of being a minority in this country and doesn’t stand for my values. May the Democrat running against him (or any other Republican elected to represent this seat) beat him.

  2. Sorry you are running.
    I believe we need men with your experience in politics.
    Bought all your books for my ex military husband he loves and has read them all.
    Hoping more books will follow

  3. You are one of my two favorite contemporary authors. OUTLAW PLATOON is a classic; best memoir/recollection I’ve ever read. I lived and felt with you on every page. All history and English students should be required to read it. And today I just finished MAN OF WAR, with the same appreciation. I’m a retired English teacher, Texas native, 84 (older than dirt, my son-in-law jokes), have been a reader all my life. I find it rare to read current books without a red pen.

    You are a gifted, excellent writer. I look forward to more works by you. Thank you!
