The US military is too depressing for me even when written about with nuance. Also the main character was whiney and blamed all of his bad decisions and misfortune on his girlfriend. He could have simply moved with her he did NOT have to join the army ..

If I didn’t have a need to finish almost every book I start, I wouldn’t have reas this whole novel. I know the story was taking place in the early-mid 00’s but I was very put off by the frequent use of the r word and the blatant misogyny. It made it hard to get through.
