Book Post #1 War

The book War is probably the best book that I have read. The story that it tells is unlike no other. Sebastian Junger went side by side the troops in Afghanistan to try to understand what the soldier of our country goes through. Through each and every fire fight he learned more and more what goes on through each soldiers head. They experience what 95% of the country will never see. The experience things that no one should see to protect their country. They give up their freedom and rights, so you can have yours and live a comfortable life. This book I believe is a great tribute to all the troops because it tells their actual story. Nothings censored or edited so you get the full effect of actually being there, without actually being there. This is exactly why after I graduate college I plan on becoming an officer in the Army. I believe that you are given so many rights in this country and that I need to give back to the country that has give me so much.
