Jarhead

7am, I decided to open up the book that was assigned to me for my American Lit class. On, my way to work crammed in the cart, their I stood reading a memoir about some marines guy in the war fighting the Iraqis. I figured this would be an interesting book. Just because I never knew about the military.

My son uncle is currently in the military, he doesn't really say much about. I thought everything is fine with him being in their because he wasn't fighting in the war, I remember when he first signed up for the marines. He was eighteen. When it was time for him to visit, it didn't want to go back. They had to come and get him, he gave them hell; crying and cursing as he was being dragged in the car. Since that day he's been placed in Arizona with a wife of three months and now as a baby girl on the way.

I never knew the marines were treated in such a way until I read Jarhead. Now wonder, he never mentions about the marines. They are taught to kill!!! and treated very UN-human with no say so on what they can do and living under a government that tells them all these promises, with good advantages and treated like slums. Fighting for a country that has no mercury for them, but it's all their fault. They signed the contract...i mean did they really think this training was going to be easy?
