Dude, Where's my War? A gently caress-up and his dumbass friends join the army unwittingly after stumbling into a recruiting office after a prom night filled with hijinks and attempt to figure out which war they've been fighting for 10 years straight. Plenty of hand-raising, question-asking, and hair-raising accounts of some guy licking dirt both on purpose and accidentally, but mostly accidentally, but he also licks some buttholes and pees on a few guys, both on purpose and accidentally. Written through the point of view of several characters who, both on purpose and accidentally, stumble their way up higher and higher through the ranks like an old man falling down an upwards-moving escalator until they're in charge of several divisions through groundhog day style longevity. Do they find out which war they're fighting? Read to find out. Good writing style, good accuracy. Don't be afraid to skip through some of the enlisted-exaggerated details of their work days while in garrison and skip to right when they're still trying to figure out who's shooting at them and from wherem.

That fact is really what I took away from the narrative; given the ineptitude on so many fronts, especially against such an adversary, the US really, seriously, dodged a bullet here. After reading the real details of the war, I'm convinced that this was about as close as we could have come to losing the country, and still pull through.

It was interested, as well, to see the political infighting and politics between the parties and powers. I had thought that divisive politics in Washington was a new development. I was wrong.

I always thought Washington was more cooperative and moderate back when they were killing each other in a civil war, as opposed to now where there's various snarky twitter accounts and political commentators.
