Customer Reviews

"War on Soldiers" is an understatement

This book both disgusted and enraged me. Everyone who waves the flag and shouts "Support the Troops" should read this book to learn how our government abuses these men and women and then breaks the most basic promises of support it made to them. It's like a laundry list of hypocrisy!

A story that Kerry and Bush should read

I heard the author interviewed on New York radio, where the host said every school kid in America should read this book. I agree. Don't sign that oath until you read what we really do to some of our soliders and vets.

A good read

This book was excerpted in Seattle Weekly - it's amazing what we do to our troops: one guy risked his life so the soldiers in his unit could get paid!

Important for solidiers, vets and families

This is not a Bush-bashing book but a government-bashing book (White House, Congress, name any year) and deservedly so. It's a timly and telling reminder of how we - our leaders - treat our troops on the war and home fronts. We've all heard about it - here are the sad and gory details.
