Expendable

Dan Marvin described to a friend "the real danger" for a member of the Special Forces: "We don’t fear the enemy we are trained to defeat. We fear what may happen to us should those in power decide that our nation would be better served if we were no longer available for question or comment. Other volunteers, trained and dedicated as we were, would be asked to ‘dispose’ of us." Jacqueline K. Powers, citing Dan Marvin, introduction to Expendable Elite: One Soldier’s Journey into Covert Warfare by Daniel Marvin (Walterville, Oregon: Trine Day, 2003), p. ix.
