review 1: Interesting and not what I expected. I was truly surprised by the level of dishonesty, laziness, promiscuity of what Anthony witnessed. I honestly didn't expect the military to be worse than the worst of what I've seen in the corporate world, but what he describes is. I thought that the book might be disturbing because it's set in the middle of a war, but that really wasn't what the book was about. It is about how dysfunctional one military hospital was, primarily because of certain specific leaders. I recommended this book to a young man in my church who is planning to become an Army chaplain affiliated with the UU church.
review 2: Interesting account of a young army medic's time in Iraq for a year. The book reads more like a journal than anything which ... moreworks and helps it to move fast. He complains of bureaucracy, a lot of adultery and fornication (sex is pretty much outlawed in times of war on an army base), and the army basically owning every part of you during your time there. It was interesting to get a perspective of how unhealthy it was just to be in a hospital and have your higher-ups being complete dolts that don't really care about those below them. Makes you worried about the status of our soldiers overseas and hopeful that things will change...soon. less
