Best ‘tour of duty’ book by a Marine platoon leader

Lots of official jarhead jargon was lost on this civilian, but that’s mainly due to a general ignorance of military speak. This is a unique account. The personality of a good, young Marine leader shines throughout, mainly because he obviously cares so much about doing what he was trained to do. He led with courage, intelligence, and a fair amount of compassion for both subordinates and peers. Nicely done, Mike Hodgins.
