Hank Brown has a good rundown of the current state of “men’s adventure fiction” up on his blog.  Most of it is in the military or paramilitary genre, much like Task Force Desperate.  Worth a read, especially if you’re just getting wind of the upswell of veterans writing these sorts of stories, and hopefully supplanting the glossy “thriller” writers who don’t have any real-world experience, and don’t actually know as much about what they write about as they think they do.  (Tom Clancy, I’m looking at you.)
