This is a good read, particularly for anyone that has done their own military service. It seems that perhaps the author wrote this more as a function of his own personal therapy or at least he seems to have had a strong identiy with his main characters. The character development is very good and the story line is also well done. However, his frivolty over the character that was his battalion commander is patterned after Colonel David Hackworth, who was quite a warrior and as a result kept his men alive. This author will shape his writing skills and his next story will improve. It is only hoped that he maintains his passion for the tale itself. I suspect the author wanted to make more of a political statement than anything else as his fabricated attrocities certainly do not follow historical facts, but it makes a good story anyway.
