Good book, not just a book about war, but also about humanity and the beauty and pain experienced by the young men who go to war for us.

A first person perspective of what it would be like to not only be at war, but to find yourself in a world that may only be 20 miles from your home, but you may as well be in another universe. Welcome to the USMC.

Excellent book. It's a side of life that most folks will never see. But, it's also well-written and thought provoking.
