When I started reading this book, I was suddenly 19 again, standing in the dim light of a freezing military parade ground and hearing the sergeant hissing and yelling alternately at the bunch of ill-fitted and scared fresh recruits that I was a part of.If you ever did any military service, you will identify with this story. If you never had any military service and want to know what it is really like, read this book. This book has it all. The mindless discipline, the endless routine, the petty rivalries and the underlying friendship, the way the system always gets something wrong, leaving the poor simple soldiers to manage, somehow...If you are easily offended by swear words or blatant chauvinism, this book may not be for you. But if you want reality, in all it's funny, vulgar, touching glory, than read it.
