War

Just finished War by Sebastien Junger.  This is a book I highly recommend. If you have a weak stomach though, don’t read. It is revealing, enlightening and very disturbing. War is horrible; there is no way around it. You follow these men for a deployment in the very remote and tactically insignificant Kerengal valley.  When I was reading it I could not help but think why this men were there. The natives hated them. For me even more disturbing was seeing the degradation of the men who survived and tried to go back to a normal life. It will make you think.
