Sinopse
"What happens when goofballs go to war? Most Soldiers aren't the Infantry Boys, "running and gunning". People have seen a one sided, violent representation of the war in Iraq. Some Americans leave for war straight from their neighborhoods and families. Many of these citizen patriots have wicked skills and low impulse control. Men shooting guns in dramatic fashion is a tiny fraction of wartime activity. The sizeable contributions of female soldiers in Iraq have been largely excluded in media. Engineers, military police, psych ops, aviation, transporters, commo, finance, postal, medical, staff pukes, the ash and the trash, itty bitty units that plan, man guard posts and make water safe to drink haven't been given their due.
Scoundrels in Iraq relates the gritty aspects of the strategic environment, but only to set the stage for the telling of me own improbable adventures. I inadvertently explained the result of the war, how and why ISIS appeared; still finding the ridiculous and funny in order to continue the march; providing a glimpse of the anguish of being separated from family, the worry of getting hurt and the fear of coming home when your loved ones have moved on without you. Soldiers fell in love. Spouses filed for divorce. Stowaways got sent home. This book is written about all of them.
