So I read this book because I remember watching Ryan Conklin on MTV's reality show "The Real World: Brooklyn" and I, like so many others that watched that show remembered that fateful day when he received the notice he was being called back to Active Duty for another tour of Iraq. I remember my heart going out to him then and my heart certiainly went out to him while reading his memoir.
This is the memoir that every young man wanting to enlist needs to read before signing their signature on the dotted line. Brutally honest would be the first words that come to my head while reading this book. Ryan Conklin has written a book that in no way sugarcoats serving in Iraq. Yes, at times I did laugh out loud and there were times that I shed tears but as a whole it was a fantastic account of his Iraqi tour.
A million "Thank You's" go out to every Veteran currently serving throughout branches and throughout the world.
