Post by Peach »

Quite a funny tongue in cheek book bout an american soldier in Iraq. Easy to read and quick to finish.

Right I got you you want me to write the whole contents of the book .......... :P

At twenty six Colby Buzzell, unemployed and living at home, decided to join the US army. Within months he was in Iraq, a machine gunner in the controversial Stryker Brigade Combat Team, an army unit on the cutting edge of combat technology and first of its kind.

Trapped amid 'guerilla warfae, urban style' in Mosul, Iraq, Buzzell was struck by the bizarre and often frightening world surrounding him. he began writing a blog describing the war - not as being reported by CNN or official briefings - but as experienced by the soldier on the ground. His story is a brutally honest and hard hitting account of the absurditties of modern war. These are the real stories of firefight where the resistence came from 'men in black' a night spent chain smoking in the guard tower counting the tracer bullets being fired over the city, and the hesitation of a young soldier who had been passed around from platoon to platoon because he was too afraid to fight.


he is really funny give him a try.

Er, no.
quoting the dust jacket isn`t what I meant either :-?
controversial Stryker Brigade Combat Team, an army unit on the cutting edge of combat technology and first of its kind.
There`s nowt either contoversial or cutting edge about the various employment roles of the Stryker vehicle.
Give us something we might be interested in :wink:
