I also learned that soldiers have to take pictures along the way of picking up a criminal so that they can prove that they did not beat up the criminal. Finally I learned that the opponents of the United States in a war can have wanted posters of someone on the United States side and have money on that person's head like the insurgents had on Chris Kyle’s head of 80,000 dollars at one point. I recommend this book to people who like action filled books and people who like to read books about

The story gives me a newfound respect for the Army and the soldiers who were deployed in Iraq around that time because of the constant harassment the insurgents gave the unit. Not because of the war crimes that were committed. It was a magnificent book about the implications and psychological effects war can have on people and what it can lead them do, It has a lot of examples of good and bad leadership that I can take away from it and apply it to my own leadership style. And I can be more prepared in dealing with peers and subordinates in times of

Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army.
