Black Watch

Blah, blah, blah... Same story new names. I saw many similarities in Jarhead... Or was this Jarhead. Sex, booze and fantasies of getting your willy wet. It's been the same in every book we've read so far. Just change some names, get a catchy title and you got a money maker I guess. I was very disappointed after reading Shooting War but there were pictures which I guess made it better. But I can't believe that every soldier has the same ideas when at war. Let's read a book about a group of men that go in first on the front lines to clean out the buildings and set up the bombing runs and gather intelligence on secret bunkers. All of these books were quite similar and I'm just getting bored with the recycled story. I think Shooting War just appeased to my A.D.D. with its bright pictures and gory scenes. But in a nut shell everyone of these books, memoirs, graphic novels have been the same work wrapped in a different cover and its getting boring.
