Military units are very cohesive and closed societies of warriors that do not just accept anyone into the fold.  In combat, replacements have the additional stresses and complications of replacing lost comrades which makes a potentially bad situation worse. This book caught the feeling and atmosphere of the situation that has faced many young men since 9/11 that have gone overseas, set against a futuristic environment.  This book is very thought provoking for veterans and civilians alike, showing insight into the hierarchy of military environments in units that go toe-to-toe with enemy on a daily basis.
