Title: DRY ACCOUNT OF FACTS
Product review: I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE EXTREMELY DRY AND BORING. IT WAS NOTHING BUT A LIST OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY HINT OF PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF MILITARY EXPERIENCE BY THE AUTHOR. MOST OF THESE FACTS COULD BE FOUND ON WIKIPEDIA OR SUCH. I SPENT THE ENTIRE TIME BETWEEN 68-69 WORKING WITH ASSAULT HELICOPTERS COMPANIES AS A HELICOPTER GUNSHIP COMMANDER AND WE NEVER SAW A "PATHFINDER" IN ANY LZ WE ASSAULTED. THE BOOK LACKED ANY PERSONAL COMBAT EXPERIENCES OF ANY SORT AND I COULD NOT EVEN STAND TO FINISH THE SAMPLE. IF YOU ARE INTO MATTER OF FACT STATEMENTS OF NOTHING BUT DRY FACTS THAT MANY OF THEM AREN'T EVEN TRUE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY COMBAT VET BOTHER READING THIS STATEMENT OF FACTS ONLY.BRIAN REISS, CPT., USAR,RET. RVN 68-69, 121 ASSLT HELICOPTER CO, VIKING GUNSHIP PLATOON, AIRCRAFT COMMANDER
