I'm a complete civilian (I ended up in this subforum because it is a good source of info on current events) but it occurs to me from reading your own thoughts on your writing process that maybe war stories suffer from a similar paradox to leadership. Just as the people who actively seek authority are often the sort of people who should absolutely never have any, the guys that come back with a book tour lined up maybe aren't the ones whose perspectives need to be seen.

It's also worth noting that you have a genuine talent with words. You aren't the only person with stories like yours (and indeed, part of what makes them special is that they mostly aren't that special), but being able to express them so compellingly is a rare combination.

A lot of these are stirring for me in a way that I also don't really feel qualified to comment on as a civilian, but I do gotta say that I laughed my rear end off at the GAZ story.
