All I remember is reading Robert Kaplan’s book, “Imperial Grunts” (about the American military on the ground) from cover to cover on this trip… and sleeping.

I’m a slow reader- but this 370 pager was a great read. A page-turner. I recommend it to anyone interested in hearing what life is like in the Army & Marines, from the perspective of 18-32 year olds who carry the rifles & sleep in the cold around the world in America’s name from Yemen, to Colombia, Mongolia, Philippines, Afghanistan & Iraq.
