Negative Positive
Title: Somebody needs a whaambulance.
Review: I'm glad I picked up the audio version of this for a couple of dollars in the bargain bin, I still feel cheated though. This is NOT the Corps I knew at the time he tells of.Swofford whines like there's no tomorrow, he takes some truths and then writes complete BS around the truths. About 98% of this story is either completely untrue, urban legend or his skewed view of things. This guy's got a serious chip on his shoulder and thinks the world owes him everything, utterly self-centered without a semblence of honor in his being.Read this book if you hate the military, it's all the untruths you want to hear. If you want a real account of war and the Marine Corps, warts and all I'd recommend Generation Kill.
