Title: False Pretense
Review: This book is sold under the pretense of being the memoirs of a jarhead. I found it to be the memoirs of a person who is unhappy (who happened to be a jarhead). He was unhappy before he was a jarhead, he was unhappy while he was a jarhead, and he is unhappy after he was a jarhead. Furthermore, he had problems with his father, his mother, his sister, his brother and with God. Should it be a shocker that he problems with the Marine Corps? As the father of a Marine about to leave for Iraq, I would be blown away if my son had an outlook on life like that of the author. Only buy this book if you enjoy reading the misery that some people choose to live in.
