What is Bill McGee's Real Function?
One of the underlying themes of the Duncan Hunter books is that there are certain CIA files that are so explosive that they cannot be divulged nor can they be accessed without presidential approval. In Special Access, the documents contained within the CIA file on the president proves he is not who he claims to be. In Shoot Down, there was an ongoing CIA file to pay terrorists a yearly ransom to prevent commercial aircraft from being shot out of the sky by shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles. In No Need to Know, an ancient pre-CIA file lists artwork hidden by the Nazis. Another file attempts to track missing suitcase nuclear devices after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Executing these operations cannot be done by a single person. Duncan Hunter largely provides the "aviation solution" while Bill McGee is the "ground solution." They work together as a team. Not everything can be done from the air while not everything can be accomplished from the ground. There is synergy in this construct. Once McGee is brought onto the team, the counterterrorism missions assume a new scope; they become more kinetic, more lethal. As the new missions become more lethal, from the air and on the ground, Duncan Hunter's flying "liberal" partner can no longer be a part of them and walks away from the program. The YO-3A gains new more lethal capabilities and Hunter becomes an airborne assassin for the CIA. Hunter discovers he cannot perform the missions by himself and needs help. For help, he turns to his friend from the war college, for there is no finer ground warrior than the former super SEAL Bill McGee.
Bill McGee also does things and gets into places no one else possibly could. He's a "break down the door" kind a guy. He's trying to balance his love for his wife and girls with the work he has done for all of his adult life. It's something special operations warriors sometimes just cannot walk away from. The thrill and excitement. But also, when you are the only one that can do a particular job, you are loyal to your country and you do it. A real man smiles in the face of trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection. These are traits and characteristics of a loyal and professional soldier. Those that lean left politically cannot understand that.
Maverick out!
