War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
Sing along…
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all
Well, maybe a book? Sebastian Junger – author of The Perfect Storm – has a new book – titled War.
Heard about it? I saw the interview on the Daly Show and decided to buy it.

Didn’t make it very far into it – about 50 pages. If there is an opposite to chick lit, this is it. So, I gave it to my husband; he read it – through the graphic killing, bombing, odors, etc, – and, oh yeah, male bonding? He liked it.
The NY Times has a review:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/16/books/review/Filkins-t.html
In it, the reviewer, Dexter Filkins, says that Junger “uses the platoon (the second of Battle Company, part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade) as a kind of laboratory to examine the human condition…” and ”Junger captures some nice moments…”
Do you remember any “nice moments”? I asked my substitute reader. I’m still waiting for an answer.
