The Brave Ones
This guy says it all, upfront - being a member of the American Military is not for those completely in their senses, but it is the only life for some.
Or for those who want to write about it later. If you like to read, this book will be hard to put down.
But he overlooks one thing - the military (any military) is built to destroy. Any member of any military is a criminal. And he (or she) knows it.
I knew one of these unfortunates when I was working in Silicon Valley in the Nineties. He had been in Vietnam, leading his platoon through the jungles, and witnessed plenty of atrocities on both sides.
He was suffering from PTSD, but no one in our therapy group knew what that was. We just knew he had some serious problems, that our therapist could not solve.
