Default Jarhead...

I've read the book by Anthony Swafford.

It was a very good read... gives people who havent been over there an honest and real version of life overseas as a Marine.

ALOT of Marines and soldiers come back pretty anti-war.


Everyones gung ho until they live it. I am speaking of Infantry though too... not sure the situations for other MOS's.

So how long is his tour? :snicker: JK.

These days the only branch that stays longer than six months is the Army, but that's just because we get more done that way.

I'm totally anti-war. And I have been since OIF started, because wars suck.
