This is probably the 40th combat memoir I've read and it's the most embarrassing. The writer says, along with a lot of other nonsense, that "God has the heart of an infantryman." This from a clergyman. The author makes no distinctions between Christianity and the mission of the Marine Corps; he writes of Operation Iraqi Freedom as if it were Joshua in Canaan all over again. He credits God for victory, but is left with weak cliches when it comes to American battle deaths--of the "God has a plan" variety. In the author's view, God's people are the Marines; whoever is fighting the Marines must be the enemy of God. That really is the author's astoundingly simplistic view of the world. This book is another example of the brainlessness that pervades American evangelicalism.

As one of the members of 1/5 that new Chaplain Cash I cannot express the joy I felt at finding this book. He was instrumental at helping me through a very tough time in my life. He has a great insight into all of the accounts in this book. I am honored to have served with him and will be telling friends about this book.

The media gives you and I a regular diet of how bad things are going in Iraq and seems to leave out the things that are going right. This book, enlightens the reader about the things that went well and the things God is doing supernaturally in the war. I would recommend it for skeptics, Christians, chaplians, or war buffs.
