Helpful Score: 3

Some will not like this book because of the negative portrayal of some of the men and leaders that John Crawford served with. The truth is the uniform represents an ideal, but it is men with all their baggage that fills them. Crawford serves in the Florida National Guard during his tour (which became an extended tour) and he has some strong views about everything from the war, to the men, to the equipment, to the Florida National Guard. I know this is not every service person's experience, but I wonder how many come back feeling the same way Crawford does. It is worth reading to get a dose of the reality of the Iraq war.
