I don't usually go for war novels. In fact, I can't think of the last book I read with detailed combat of any of the American wars. It looks like about a third of this book will be that. HOWEVER, the narrator is so intentionally unlikable and honest about his experience, that I don't hate it. He's crude, directionless, and surrounded by idiots. It's an odd way to garner sympathy, but I think it's working.
