Stars: 5 out of 5
Review:
Bounty Hunter 4\3 is a in- depth personal story of Jason Delgado. Just like American Sniper and American wife readers are given a raw look at life in the military and how one choose the career of a sniper or who that career chooses them.
Jason doesn't sugar coat his life before during the years as a United States Marian Corp Sniper. He doesn't shy away from the personal and emotional times in his life making he a real person readers are able to care about.
Jason tell how he was ready to take on the world during his first days in the war. This ability to describe the battle scenes in Iraq. They are vivid pushing readers to feel almost see what it was like living in a warn torn country.
As the story progress you can feel Jason pain and how it has taken a toll in his life and how it effects him daily.
Just like American Sniper Jason story gives read that Military men have a sense of invincibility. The Marines Corp has the ability to take boys and make them into killing machines to protect their country, family and what they believe in.
Jason pulls readers into his world giving them an opportunity to understand why someone go to war and the physically, emotional and personal toll it takes on everyone.
I have Reader American Sniper, American Wife and now Bounty Hunter 4\3 each one shows readers the cost of war mental only those who see the worst humanity has to offer.

Synopsis:
The fight for Jason Delgado's life and soul began when he was just a boy. He ultimately escaped the death and drugs of a crime-riddled Bronx by way of the United States Marine Corps. However, after earning his way into the esteemed ranks of the service's famed Scout Snipers, Delgado saw that old struggle reignited when he was dumped into the hell of war in Iraq.
There Delgado proved not only a participant, but a warrior capable of turning the tide in several of the most harrowing and historically important battles of the evolving war. He took all the hard lessons learned in combat and, as MARSOC's original lead sniper instructor, made himself a pivotal figure in revolutionizing the way special operations snipers trained and operated. But even after accomplishing his mission in the military, Delgado still faced that original fight, struggling to understand and accept the man his experiences had transformed him into.
