FOR Asian American marines, BY an Asian American marine a must READ!

I am a American marine and served as an 0311 rifleman in the Marine Corps 5th infantry regiment and i would like to say I love this book. I am currently receiving my GI BILL and my major is Asian American Studies. I am writing my senior paper on Asian American Marines. This book is a real realistic and honest look into modern racism in the Marines. REAL marines that have seen a combat deployment will be able to decypher fact from fiction and this is the real deal. Asian America needs REAL patriots like this author, and some SELLOUTS who remain nameless need to go home with their fictional world of a level playing field. YOU sir are a good marine! Semper FI
