Just read a book that kicked my a**, Civilianized by Michael Anthony,
who also wrote Mass Casualties: A Young Medic's Story of Death,
Deception and Dishonor in Iraq. Both are well written and hard to put
down. Civilianized is a post deployment story, sad, funny, upsetting and
inspiring. I am very glad this guy made it back and sorry he went
through the hell of his own particular war. I highly recommend the book
if you would like a taste of reality.
