review 1: Having served in the military but never in real combat I really never understood what these guys that are doing the fighting are going through when they finish their tour and return to civilian life. With their training and what they go through and see when in combat lives with them for along time. So they come back and have to fight war within themselves.Reading Two Wars will help you understand what these guys and gals are going through after their enlistment runs out and they return to civilian life and their families. The book is on 2 parts, if you don't want to read about the training and fighting everyone at the very least needs to read the second half to see what they go through when they return. But I really think you would need to read the whole book to understan... mored what they are going trough.Our government trains them to be warriors and them sends them off to protect our country from the bad guys. But when it's time for them to return to civilain life and their families our government doesn't to much to unprogram them from being fighting machines. In my minds this is just plain wrong.
review 2: An amazing book! The fact that Nate Self opens up his life is awesome in itself. To see how he began his journey towards being a soldier (Ranger), husband, and eventually a father was intense. Nate opens up completely about being a Ranger and being in one of the toughest ground fights in Afghanistan. Seeing his dedication to his country and the love for his men was moving. Seeing his faith be strengthened then ultimately questioned was gut wrenching. I almost lost it while reading the section where he is speaking with the father of one of the soldiers he lost under his command. Being from a military family, this book just opened my eyes to the other war these men fight when they come home - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of our soldiers deal with this when they come back and it breaks them. Nate shows that side of himself openly and honestly. He allows you to see what effects PTSD had on him, his wife, and his family and friends. You also get to read a few pages written by his wife Julie and see her struggles being an army wife.Great book for anyone who wants to understand what our soldiers go through! A must read! less
