A book I read years ago and still seems ok. https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Mom-Joseph-T-Ward/dp/0804108536 Dear Mom: A Snipers Vietnam by Joseph T. Ward In between stories of him doing neat poo poo are letters he sent home to mom around the same time, full of lies of what he was doing. From a review quote:Two months in-country, Ward was present when a company of about 100 Americans, swarmed into a little village and killed every person-even the animals-sixteen women and children, chickens and water buffalo. What did Ward write to Mom about this incident? "We've had a lot of casualties from booby traps and made contact with the enemy five times."

A good portion of the book was him bitching about things. The unit he was attached to needed ammo and supplies. They couldn't get it for a long time. Suddenly they got all of the order air lifted to them including everything that was backlogged. Then they got attacked and had to blow up most of it to make sure the enemy didn't get it. Or him talking about asking for naval artillery and watching a hill disappear due to how much came in.
