This book made me think. I knew the US military was cooked, but seeing the insideous and complicated ways this played out in Chelsea's life was something else. I really respected her writing - she was honest about her flaws and actions, including negative things. She's a real human and she'd explain the emotions behind these actions - not to gain sympathy but as a fact-based explanation on what lead to those actions.
She got to tell her own story, something she mentions throughout the book as being important to her.
