Jerry Davis Aughtry's novel portrays a young, privileged American who chooses to be drafted. As a combat soldier, Myles Jacobson, Jr., excels, while at the same time is disillusioned as he bonds with America's lower class who always fight our wars.
Jacobson's frustration begins when he sees and has to participate in free fire zones allowing for the killing of innocent civilians. His angst continues when he sees how his fellow soldiers are fighting and dying in a war while his upper class friends back home are living a carefree life. Rich battle scenes and humorous banter among soldiers permeate this story.
This book has explicit language to authenticate how soldiers really talk in an all-male environment. Some might be offended and for that we apologize. A couple of romantic scenes also make up the book.
