Review: Don't buy this book if you're looking for descriptions of combat in Vietnam, tales of camaraderie, proof that human spirit can triumph over horror, or incredible hardship overcome with dignity. This book is more suited for people looking for repeated whiny, moaning tantrums versus authority, the type that teenagers love to see (and perpetrate). In large groups of people, you can usually run across a perpetual complainer, and that seems to be what the author's attitude is towards his various superiors in Vietnam. I'm not denying that some or all were incompetent; it's just that it gets tiring to hear his rebellious attitude towards them. There are other books written about Vietnam, where the authors faced bigger problems than clueless superiors with, as I said, dignity, a sense of humour, faith... There are many other Vietnam books out there that are much better than this one.
