WARGASM
Warriors drift like lost souls on the ocean of peace. You will never forget her. Death, I mean. Her moans, the horrible cracks and whizzes from incoming bullets, will eternally make your ears ring long after you depart the battlefield. She is the sexiest woman you will ever have. We who are warriors rarely admit this to others. Instead, we hide our sick fantasy from our loved ones and civilian friends. I am different. I know I am forsaken. This is the story of a man haunted by the shadows of war.
He sought to numb his pain with a new even more addicting drug: lust.

I get the message that the author was trying to get across and can relate to a lot of it. To me it was just written poorly and became cringy at times.

Wargasm.
It's a very unassuming name for a memoir. One would think it was some kind of joke, a pun, or play on words. They wouldn't be completely wrong, but at the same time, they wouldn't be anywhere close to the truth.
How do you describe a journey through the psyche? Especially when it's one that follows the path of a scarred soldier. A soldier who fought hard for America's freedom. After his brush with death, he personified the experience and allowed it to take the form of a woman.
Life can seem dark, when you lose the support system you thought you had and the constant threat of battle is removed. Limbo takes hold. The need for distraction becomes paramount. And all other needs fall secondary.
I found myself torn while reading these pages. I felt both deeply moved and deeply disturbed by the truth in the words. The part of me that still clings to classic romance wanted to be angry and offended. But the part of me that sees the pain, and sympathies with the desire to simply feel, can't put blame where none is merited. I still am a hopeless romantic, but the truth is that danger holds appeal.
Anyone who wishes to see another view point of dealing with PTSD, and doesn't shy away from the bold vulgarity life can hold, then I would recommend this memoir. I found it enlightening, to say the least.

This book has some good anecdotes but overall it doesn't really mean anything towards the end. Its great it helps him get laid but overall that's not what I envisioned. While I applaud the skill of him and his bedroom encounters, it's not something that I would recommend other than listening to somebody's sexual exploits, which I don't care for.

I was expecting a gritty, addicted to the high of combat type of plot. That is NOT what I got. It was really just a bad romance novel with a ton of bad wine analogies and even more bad writing. Unless you want to read about someone "slaying women with his cock"... skip it.
