John's book was a gripping read for me as a fellow veteran. I served as a combat B-1 pilot in Operation Enduring Freedom. John's book provided so much insight on the infantryman's struggle in Vietnam. John's honesty about trying to deal with the emotional onslaught of war was compelling throughout the book. He reminds all of us veterans that the brotherhood of combat units should not be lost nor forgotten. He also reminds us how personal each experience can be in war. I strongly recommend John's book.
