Oh my... CRAZY military inaccuracies... please, Amy Lane, do at least a BIT of research before you write a book involving the military. A 20 year-old private in boot camp does NOT get offered a commissioned officer position simply because he has EMT training. You need a bachelor's degree for that. And there a HELLUVA lot more processes to get through than a Captain at boot camp telling you as much.

I love the story, but I'm already having some of the same problems with it that I usually do when I read books about the military... inaccuracies. You don't just sign up to go straight to Iraq. You enlist and go to training and go to a command. Then those commands will get deployed wherever in the world the DoD decides to send them. You don't just go to a recruiter and have them say "you're going to Iraq." Grrr.
