Negative Positive
Title: Not that great.
Review: I really disliked this book. The author had some real attitude problems. His depiction of "lifers" vs. "draftees" and "grunts" vs. "REMFs" was downright despicable. Vietnam was often a war without a front. Guys in the so-called rear were attacked by sappers and mortared. Those rear echelon men who flew in slicks were bigger and more obvious targets than any platoon size element on the ground. In the end I was left with a feeling of sadness based on Mr. Wiknik's portrayal of his life in Vietnam. His ghosting and dereliction of duty left me angry that this man just skated by while others gave their all.
