Re: Jarhead
the book (a first person account by the author) is far from patriotic boo ha ha.
The book is actually not about war so much as commradary between troops IMO. They spend the book competiting with one and other, making fun of one and another, fighting, saving each other from commiting suicide, assuring one and other that their girlfriends/wives back home aran't screwing around.
It's a really great book which when people ask me about it, I like to say is basically about what it feels like to be a guy.
I look foward to the film.
