For ten years, David Burnell lived in the invisible war—serving as a U.S. Air Force Communications Operations Specialist during the most volatile decade of the late Cold War.
His battlefield wasn’t marked by trenches or gunfire, but by encrypted transmissions, coded messages, and the heavy silence of classified operations.

From the blackout classrooms of Sheppard Air Force Base to the fog-covered runways of RAF Sculthorpe, and from the jungles of Central America to the frozen plains of South Dakota, Burnell’s decade in uniform unfolded behind security fences, within cleared rooms, and beneath the constant hum of secrecy.

In The Quiet War, Burnell opens a window into the unseen world of intelligence operations—where loyalty is tested by polygraphs, trust is earned in whispers, and the smallest mistake can echo across nations.

He recounts the call that changed everything: volunteering for Task Force Bravo in Cabañas ’87, where a last-minute reassignment spared his life when a friendly-fire incident took down the helicopter he was meant to board.
He describes the OSI polygraph interrogations after the capture of Navy spy John Walker, and the eerie feeling of serving “in the glass bowl” where every heartbeat was measured for loyalty.
He walks through the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rising threat of global terrorism, and the quiet moments on the flight line when coffins draped in flags arrived home without ceremony.

Amid the secrecy and tension, Burnell’s story is deeply human. It is about faith, family, endurance, and the cost of commitment.
It’s about the dream that first drew him in—the desire to become a Pararescue operator (“That Others May Live”)—and how that same drive would later carry him into real-world search and rescue, humanitarian missions, and crisis response long after the uniform came off.

The Quiet War is more than a military memoir—it is a testament to those who serve in silence, whose battles are unseen but whose sacrifices are just as real.

For readers of The Right Stuff, American Sniper, and The Operator, this is the untold story of a warrior who lived at the intersection of technology, intelligence, and faith during one of the most complex eras in modern history.

Meet Charilyne Rojas, a conductor, dedicated music teacher, and communications specialist based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. She currently leads the Young Performers Orchestra (YPO) at the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra (GDYO), guiding young string players with both confidence and warmth.
Charilyne Rojas’s roots run deep: she’s a GDYO alumna, so she understands firsthand what it’s like to grow up in youth orchestras. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the University of North Texas, where she taught in the UNT String Project — experience that has shaped her thoughtful, student-focused teaching style.

At GDYO, Charilyne wears multiple hats. As Conductor, she leads rehearsals, shapes programming, and nurtures ensemble technique. As part of the communications team, she helps maintain alumni relationships, manages social media, and shares the orchestra’s story with parents, students, and the wider community. Her blend of musical leadership and storytelling skills ensures that GDYO stays both artistically excellent and deeply connected.

Charilyne is also passionate about teaching beyond GDYO. She runs workshops, coaches school orchestras, and supports developing string programmes — always with an eye on helping students not just play their instruments, but truly understand ensemble artistry.

Her community commitment shines through her founding of Concerts for a Cause, a student-led outreach initiative that brings music to underserved audiences. She believes that young musicians should use their skills to make a positive impact, whether that’s in concert halls, schools, or community spaces.
