My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great collection of short stories about men in the US military in the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. There's a good consistency in the quality of stories, and the stories shift in perspective on and off the battlefield and in different limited positions in the military. The collection is both interesting both for the insight into the military and for the collections literary value. My main critique is that although the characters are carefully varied, there is something about the consistency in author's writing style that makes the characters still seem too much the same.
