I once saw a video on social of (I assume) a regiment officer repeatedly saying RLTW for what had to be 2 minutes straight. In my opinion, this book is the literary version of that video. There were parts that made me cringe, parts that made me shake my head, parts that made me chuckle, and parts I can only explains as something I would expect to come from a young batt boy during the early parts of the "GWOT" era. Not terrible, mildly amusing, not bringing up anything countless other service members have brought up about their time either. On the plus side, I would say it was a little better than okay, and can be read in a day.
