As a Vietnam Vet and someone who appreciates life, I feel like I just lost some valuable time on earth having listened to this dribble. Real Marines and military Veterans do talk like the characters in this book did. The story was weak, the characters were idiots and I feel somewhat stupid having listened to 93% of the book before realizing I was wasting my life on earth by doing so. I hope you read this before listening to it and sincerely hope you did not have to pay for the book or tape.
