    If you're a veteran of the Iraq war - gotta read this one.
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2022*

Was told about this book by a vet who one of the (name has been changed) Soldier characterized in it.  A good quick read.  Gives outsiders a realistic look at what the war was about from the perspective of Soldiers who were out in the mix regularly.

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2014*

What I like about this book on the u.s. military in Iraq is it touches on those things that soldiers do on the lighter side in spite of the brutality going on all around them. The military is a different world from civilian life and this is espically true in combat. These guys are all business when they are performing their job but  during down time they strive to forget the war and come up with all these comical ways that borders on the absurd to accomplish just that. As a former marine sergeant  I believe I  would fit in well with this unit even though they had a weak commanding officer. But fortunately they had strong n.c.o. Leadership which are the people that run the day today operations. This  author gives us good insight into the military world in combat. Thank god we still have brave men like these guys. What we need now is to rid ourselves of the politicians that put our brave people in no win situations and then continue to keep them there when all hope of success is lost. In closing thank you for this book but more than anything thank you for the sacrifices you and these men made for this country.you guys are truly heroes!!!

    An easy almost relaxing read.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2021*

Ron RohnFilled with the boring mundane, that is.military life, punctuated with the sudden violance and lifethreatinng actionof all battlefields.  A good read. I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop .the syle of writingwas engaging and painted the picture of one mans experiance of his first  time in the modern feld of battle. May we send no more young men and women into harms way to satisfy old mens ambitions!
