The Patrol (2011) Hardcover Book - (Ryan Flavelle)

Nothing can prepare a person for the reality of bloody, concussive warfare.... Those who like war are aptly named warriors. Some, like me, are fated never to be warriors, as we are more afraid of war than fascinated by it. But I have the consolation that I have walked with warriors and know what kind of men and women they are. I will never be a warrior, but I have known war.
