Story4.5 out of 5 stars 209
Cdr. Richard Jadick's story is one of the most extraordinary to come out of the war in Iraq. At 38, the last place the Navy doctor was expected to be was on the front lines. He was too old to be called up, but not too old to volunteer. In November 2004, with the military reeling from an acute doctor shortage, Jadick chose to accompany the First Battalion, Eighth Marine Regiment (the "1/8") to Iraq.

What does Lloyd James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
A way of delivering the lines that made me feel as if I was there.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I cried and laughed. There are some parts that really tug at you while also giving you a smile.
Any additional comments?
Overall the book is great. i personally am interested in the field of Military medicine and wish that the story would go more in depth with the specific experiences he talks about. I highly recommend this piece.
