Blood Makes the Grass Grow Green by Johnny Rico is the best book about deployed life with no action. The first book I have ever seen that isn't some hooah bullshit or some dark anti war piece. This is just life in the slow lane dealing with dickheads. This guy ain't a hero, he's just some schlub trying to meddle through. Shows what 90% of anyone's time in the military is really like. But don't take my word for it:


The only book I like more than this book is http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Risers-...d+on+the+risers


But seriously this Johnny Rico dude is awesome.

I'm trying to like Johnny Rico's Blood Makes the Grass Grow Green but, being about two fifths in, the pacing is starting to get really grating :(

House to House by David Bellavia was a big eye opener for me btw, I think it got mentioned in the earlier thread.


House by house is a bad book and is most likely all made up.
