Reuniting after being Honorably discharged from the Marine Corps five years prior, they find themselves re-enlisting in the military for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Struggling with the Rules of Engagement and the politics of war, the team must skillfully maneuver through enemy territory as a sniper element to combat the ever-growing invisible enemy that hunts them. Daily events bring them closer together as they face the challenge of not letting their friendship come before military rank, and the desire for each of them to lead the pack.

Interesting vignettes; the presentation was quite readable though marred by spelling errors. I also found it striking that the narrator's moral compass was so clear cut - he and his team never seem to do anything wrong. The characters are likable and I am impressed also that the author was able to recollect the story in such detail.
