Is the Author Biased?

I believe that in his writing, Chris is biased.  He is writing about his experience being a SEAL, so he is talking about this through his own eyes.  Anybody is biased when they are telling their own story, because often they don't know the other side of the story.  This is a good kind of bias in my opinion, as the topic of the book is hit experiences and how he was effected.

It is mentioned in the beginning that multiple powers high up in the government have read and revised some of the book, so there is some bias there as well.  We may not get the whole story, or some of the stories could be watered down.  This could be a good or bad thing.  It's good because there obviously needs to be some reservation in telling everything, as some of the stories and information could still pose a threat to our national security.  It is bad, because we don't get the whole story, and that's what the book is supposed to be.

Another way we can look at the bias throughout the book, is that there is another side to the war.  We are reading about missions and attacks from and against the other side.  The people that they were fighting had to have a reason and a belief to be doing the things they are doing.  Chris doesn't know this, or the whole story of this.  He says in the first part of the book that he hates the people he is fighting, because he "hates the evil they possess."  He doesn't know their reasoning to do the things they do.

Bias is a good thing to think about, and it is often justifiable, as in this case.  He has no way of knowing, and the book is screened and biased for our protection, and the protection of our country.
