The Navy SEALs, revered as ultimate heroes in the eyes of many Americans, achieved a significant victory by killing Osama Bin Laden in 2011. Former SEALs now earn substantial income as leadership consultants for corporations, while aspiring young military personnel dream of joining their ranks. However, the SEALs have lost their way. In his investigative journalism, Matthew Cole exposes the troubling pattern of war crimes and the profound moral rot beneath authorized narratives.

From their origins in World War II, the SEALs have been trained to be highly skilled assassins with short-duration missions. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan transitioned into the endless War on Terror, their level of violence escalated uncontrollably.

Code Over Country delves into the high-level decisions that unleashed the SEALs' carnage and the coverups that prevented their crimes from being exposed. This essential and rigorous investigation sheds light on the unchecked power of the military and the harm inflicted upon soldiers in the name of America.
