I started to read this from the beginning but just couldn’t relate. The sections I could relate to were the Kabul Airport Evacuations & The Afghan War because I’m active in the military now. I also enjoyed the Global War on Terror. I also liked Training, Barracks, and Life in the Rear. Very real life stories.

Mr. Laidlaw has written a masterpiece. The realism, the agony, the camaraderie experienced by our fighting heroes is captured by him in this book. If you want to know what war is … read this.
